Fellow first-year Cornell PhD student here, not sure why i'm watching this bc my life is pretty much exactly the same as what's in this vlog hahaha. great vid tho!
@@Alexandre-xz6jm Smh, let's see you go ahead and do a Ph.D. CS Program at an Ivy League university since it's not hard............ Assuming you could even be accepted in the first place.
Hi Kaiwen, Currently physics phd student at Brown looking at theoretical deep learning/stat mech. Would love to hear more about your story leaving facebook/employment/money to pursue a PhD!
@@GarrettLawrence Although I've only been here for grad school, from what I can see it's very undergraduate focused. Admittedly the resources at Brown's disposal in the Engineering department don't compare to Michigan, UNC, etc., but the education that you'll receive at either school should be fine. However, Brown is really really known for their CS department and a lot of students go into software engineering at FANG or go into finance (I've already been recruited for quant stuff). I assume this isn't the case at schools like Michigan, Georgia Tech, or similar institutes, but again I can't attest to their programs since I don't attend these schools. Word of advice: don't take out debt if you can, most of the time a rank 50 school on a full-ride will be more worth it than a rank 30 school you pay for, but again, it is much more nuanced than this.
Hey! I loved your vlog on what it would be like to be researching in order to become a PhD at Cornell. I actually applied to Cornell so fingers crossed I get in. Currently I'm a senior in highschool and looking forward to doing Computer Science in college as my major; I have some experience with coding but would really like to become more advanced and eventually work with algorithms and datasets, etc. Do you have any suggestions for research that I should be doing, texts I should be reading, or ways that I can be getting ahead of the game and making myself the most advanced that I possibly can be at this stage? I really look forward to hearing your wisdom. And if it is possible I would love to maintain some sort of contact (even though I understand this is a bit odd of a request) so that I may ask anymore questions--if you're willing to answer them of course. Amazing vlog, thank you so much for sharing. I would love to see more!
This was a great explanation of the "prefix doubling" approach of constructing suffix arrays! You really helped me get this, and (fingers crossed) getting one step closer to understanding the linear time suffix array construction algorithms.
Been looking all over the internet for an explanation like this. Thank you for a great and informative video. If you make more similar videos I'd definitely watch them.
