Overview

Advice

A repository of links with advice related to grad school applications, research, phd etc related to (usually but not always) CS, NLP, and ML. Some resources may be sourced from one of the other resource links. Note - this is merely a repository, and I do not necessarily endorse or subscribe to every piece of advice.

  • Add @gchhablani's Twitter bookmarks

    Add @gchhablani's Twitter bookmarks

    This is a very nice idea and I've wanted something like this for some time.

    In this PR, I have added most of my Twitter bookmarks. I haven't had the chance to read them all (yet) but I believe they will be helpful for everyone.

    Please let me know in case of any issues.

    Add Roland Azuma's blog post

    This is a great list. I feel like It won't be complete without Roland Azuma's fantastic blog post. He goes into what exactly does the PhD enatil, how to complete it on time, why even consider doing a PhD etc.

  • Added Shashank's course webpage details and SOP

    Added Shashank's course webpage details and SOP

    Thanks for maintaining this repo.

    Adding two resources to these:

    • A course that i'm floating at IIT Gandhinagar targeted primarily at undergrads to introduce CS research systematically.
      Emphasizes a set of values to imbibe, helps identify whether research is something an individual would enjoy, and suggests ways to operationalize a nascent interest into hard skills which would eventually help the individual understand their field of interest better + signal to a potential recruiter (professor at a university or a team manager at a research lab) their fit to a potential opening.

    • I've added my own SOP from the time i had applied to CMU and had an offer from them.

    I've also added a link to this repo on the resources page of the course website.
