> PhD students obviously stick around for longer but they are in graduate school to do research. I've spent my first two years of grad school working on NEXT [1], a system useful for active machine learning but not a real paper producer. I'm planning a conversation with my advisor about getting less involved in NEXT and more involved in research very soon (hopefully in the next week). This article validates this conversation.
