Some news and pictures of Japan
I’ve been living in Japan for 6 months already. I must say, wow, time flies very very fast. This is abroad for me so there’s always something new to do or to see. I don’t have much time for myself or personal projects. But I have (very) slowly been working on some experiments on handwritten Chinese character recognition. Stay tuned.
I will graduate from my engineering school in June (masters) so lately I have been thinking to what I want to do in the future. As I said, times goes very fast. It’s thus very important to fulfill myself during the 8 hours that I spend at work, whatever it may be. So far, I’m pretty sure that I don’t want to work as a software developer for a private company. I want to do something more challenging and in connection with research. Most importantly, I want to LEARN new things every day. Options I’m considering are creating my own company, becoming a research engineer in a private lab or starting a PhD. I’m glad because I think I have narrowed down the fields I would like to work in, in the future. I would like to work in the fields of Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition, especially handwriting recognition, natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition.
I uploaded some of my pictures of Japan. I still have many others that I need to sort out but if you are interested, take a look.
