>>13647337I'm finishing undergrad, but I'm reasonably convinced that I can do the PhD, in maybe not at a cream of the crop, but at least a relevant school to my field of interest.
I'm just asking how's the research after that. I know that INRIA affiliated people shit out interesting papers regularly, but I'm wary of, for one, the amount of competition for it, since all the CS grads are also considered for the position, for two, that it's actually a niche field that relatively few people actually care about, and that it's going to die out if the interest dries up.
I asked some people I know, and the opinion used to be "nobody outside CS cares", but now it seems "gradually more people are becoming interested". Granted, the person who said that doesn't work in the field, but his friend does, so I dunno.
