Yet Another Grad Student Blog?

While there are tons of other awesome grad student blogs out there, the natural question which arises is why another one? The short answer: Expressing MY opinion. The slightly longer version: While other students may present their viewpoint on a topic or a paper, I felt I would like to share my opinions and thoughts as well and hence want to put it out there. I also felt this would be a good way for me to articulate my thoughts on a subject and hence would benefit me as well.

As for what can you expect me to blog about? Hmm...While I'm hardly the most fun person in the world, I do have some interesting hobbies and tastes, some tidbits of which I hope to share. Of course being a CS grad student, I intend to discuss any interesting papers or developments in the field of CS. In particular you can expect me to post my thoughts on any Machine Learning/NLP/IR paper that catches my eye or maybe a fascinating talk from a conference I attend.

Since I'm quite new to this I would love to hear any comments from others, so long as they don't criticize any of my work :-) (...kidding ofc).

Cheers,
Karthik
