A slight peek into my experiences as a student and researcher.
We find ourselves living in an age where we get a new frontier model almost every few months, if not weeks. Whenever a new generation of model comes out from the closed-source or open-source giants, we instinctively switch to the most “advanced” model whenever possible so we can make sure we have access to the best worker (or so claimed) available for our goal.
So, I started my PhD in CS at Georgia Tech in Fall 2023. It’s only been around 16 months, but it feels more like several years in deep learning research trends.
In case you missed it, I shared my experience as a rookie undergrad researcher in a previous blog: Riding the Noisy Research Track. Since then, I have grown from a rookie researcher into a more mature beginner researcher with a better outlook on the bigger picture in research (thinking beyond publishing a paper) owing to my close collaboration with the SHI Labs in the last couple of years.
This summer, I worked as a remote research intern at SHI Lab @ University of Oregon (UO) and Picsart AI Research (PAIR). I joined the SHI Lab to work with Professor Humphrey Shi in November 2020 during my second year and continued my work there during the summers, and I joined PAIR during the summers (June 2021).
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the following lockdowns and stay & work from home situations, the concept of Overthinking has gained popularity. Moreover, now and then, I find the gen-z people (and even me sometimes) replying to “What you doing?
Alright, people! This article will share my experience and learnings during the last eight months as an undergrad researcher. For those reading one of my blogs for the first time, I am a CSE undergrad (about to enter 3rd year) and am working as a Research Intern at SHI Lab @ UO and Picsart.
Alright, so this is going to be quite a short entry. A few days back, a friend of mine and I were talking about books. We were discussing the books that we have read.
Right, so this isn’t a well-planned blog. I just wanted to write something up, and this idea popped into my head while guessing the mid-term’s syllabus with one of my friends.
Hello there! Alright, so it has been more than 3 months since my last blog, where I described how a CSE student’s life at IITR is being turned into a living hell by the system and professors.
Hey! So you must be wondering, “What the hell is e ˣ doing in the title? It must be a scientific article!” Well, to put your mind at ease, this is not an article about the hidden beauty of e ˣ (although that would be an excellent one :P).
