Graduate standing : 1st year Masters
Why am I taking this class? I tried to search for a book related to Sketch Recognition. I could not find even one. Less explored field -> huge probability that research will lead to new findings.
What experience do I bring to this class? I built a simple interface in the final year of my bachelors where I could navigate the mouse cursor and perform other functions by waving my hand from a distance. Thats all I have.
What do I expect to be doing in 10 years? Working in a research laboratory in some field of Computer Science, or may be sociology and economics. ( I have no idea what these two latter fields are all about. But I keep developing theories in my head, rejecting or accepting them. I am my own audience)
What do I think will be the next biggest technological advancement in computer science? It could be virtual reality, like virtual office spaces etc.
What was my favorite course in undergrad (CS or otherwise)? Design and analysis of algorithms.
If I could be another animal, what would it be and why? I could never be any other animal. I love all the confusion in human head. It would feel too tied up being driven by instinct alone.
What is my favorite motto or slogan? Imagination is better than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein
What is my favorite movie? Right now ... Hotel Rawanda, Ghandhi, Top Gun.
Some interesting fact about myself? I used to paint a lot and I was good at it. But midway I lost interest because I could not find a defining factor which makes one piece of art better than the other. I find this reason funny and interesting.... and sometimes sad(!). I like photorealistic paintings though because these can be evaluated by a deterministic method of how close to reality they are. So there is a defining factor....
