AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around feelings of stagnation and lack of motivation after completing exams, particularly in relation to studying big data without engaging resources like videos. Participants emphasize the importance of finding a passion project or an exciting topic to reignite enthusiasm for learning. The conversation shifts to a machine learning project, initially focused on employee promotion prediction, which faced challenges due to incorrect datasets. The group ultimately decides to return to this project after considering alternatives like an image caption generator using LSTM and CNN models. The recurring theme is that excitement and personal interest in a project can significantly enhance the learning experience and motivation to study.

IDK what is this feeling. Since my exams were over about 10 days ago, I have been feeling like this tbh...I did rest as well. Now the next thing to be studied is big data where I need to study from textual content and there is no videos for it. So I know that is also one reasons for my lack of starting to study...IDK..I have been feeling this since a long time. How do I fix this feeling?

Hi again. Like I've said in other posts I think you don't seem to have a passion project or something that excites you to build/study/learn. If you can find something that sounds just "cool" to do, then learning the topics needed to accomplish will become tools you need to do so. It's like exercising on a treadmill versus playing a fun sport. Sometimes when I'm playing a sport like tennis or basketball, I forget I'm exercising. Same idea here.

What is the latest with your machine learning project?

the dataset for employee promotion prediction was wrong. so we decided to go with image caption generator...using lstm and cnn (deep learning)...

I see. I will try to look at big data projects.

But do you like that idea? Does it make you excited?

I work with LSTM and CNN models. Each of those is something you could study for years. It's not just like learning a few rules. I think my main point still applies - find something that makes you smile or get excited to do and the learning will follow.

we decided to go with employee promotion prediction again lol. teacher recommended this to us.
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
