The Best Nurturers in Computer Science Research
Thursday, April 12, 2012 by Abhinav Maurya
Recently I came across a paper quantifying success in the intangible process of mentorship in computer science research. The work was done around 2004 at IISc by Bharath Kumar M. and Y. N. Srikant and published in Proceedings of the Fifth SIAM International Conference on Data Mining. [Technical Report] [ICDM Paper]
Not surprisingly, the paper states that "there is a recognizable deviation between the rankings of the most successful researchers and the best nurturers, which although is obvious from a social perspective has not been statistically demonstrated."
Interestingly, though the work mentions quite a few Indian nurturers, almost none of them have consistently resided and researched in India.
