A CS Research Topic Generator or How To pick A Worthy Topic In 10 Seconds
- DanielStraight 17y agoI love it.
- owinebarger 17y agoIt's the "literature review" that kills.
- DanielStraight 17y agoI wonder who will be the first to find an exact match with some academic paper.
- coolnewtoy 17y agoIt's the literature review and six drafts of the paper only to find your advisor thinks your topic is no good. That kills.
- __ 17y agoI suppose this is the academic equivalent of http://classnamer.com/ http://classnamer.com/.
- chanux 17y agoReminds me the "Automatic CS paper generator" http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/
- sparky 17y agoA friend wrote something similar for computer architecture and microarchitecture papers. It's eerie how many papers sound a lot like these lately.. http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~waterman/bs.html http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~waterman/bs.html
- prakash 17y agoReminds me of Dack's Bullshit generator for Resume's - http://dack.com/web/bullshit.html http://dack.com/web/bullshit.html
- bbg 17y agoI just note that the link below, a subdivision name generator, submitted (by someone else!) a few days ago, got killed after being quickly upvoted to the front page. I can't find the HN link -- maybe it no longer exists -- but commenters suggested the page wouldn't even have been noteworthy in 1998, etc. I thought the tiny app was brilliant recognition of a formulaic part of our linguistic world. http://adrian.gimp.org/cgi-bin/sub.cgi http://adrian.gimp.org/cgi-bin/sub.cgi
- pmorici 17y agoYes but this one is from Dr. Comer a well known computer science professor. http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dec/ http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dec/
- lamby 17y agoYou can have some fun building your own generators with "polygen", an EBNF-based generator written in OCaml.
- the_real_r2d2 17y agoA few years ago this could have been useful for me. I am always late to find the good stuff.
