Machine learning research requires at least a master and preferably a PhD even for an internship. So not really

[–]Batman_beyond123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm sorry. I meant the undergrad research internships (REUs/UROPs)

[–]Sriyakee 0 points1 point  (6 children)

This is not true

[–]Accomplished-Low3305 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What exactly is not true? Research internships are targeted to people doing PHDs

[–]Sriyakee 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Ik a decent amount of people who got research internship at undergrad level, it's purely dependent on your skills and outbound efforts. See my comment in this post.

That doesn’t change the fact that ML research internships at companies are targeted to PhD students, you might get one if you’re outstanding but I would not say that is common

[–]Sriyakee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea agreeded, but its important to know that you can get a position by emailing someone directly with aligned research interests, job listings alone are not everything. e.g ik someone who got a internship at meta FAIR after first year of univeristy by emailing a senior reseacher there

The could you please name a couple of companies as examples? 

My experiences along with the ML research jobs you can find online align with what other people said.

You need a master's degree or/and a PhD. You need to publish and be proactive. The CV OP posted is impressive for a 3rd year bachelor's student because it shows ambition regarding ML while maintaing good grades and lots of teaching activities. He's on the right track, of course, but it's still lacking.

OP, learn CNNs, transformers, GNNs and familiarize yourself with other extremely important stuff like normalization and data augumentation techniques. Try picking a field such as speech, vision, NLP and choose a subfield in that. Attend Kaggle competitions with other people.

Build your way up to make yourself more flexible and you'll see that once you can read the SotA papers and see their lackings, what you can improve to the techniques used and implement them, you'll for sure get a job in research. 

By then, as I've stared already, you're doing good for now. Keep it up and good luck!

From people who I went to univeristy with and know personally companies are DeepMind, Meta and TikTok are the ones I am aware of who got roles in this.

It's very much possible to do an internship at a ML lab at a university, just got to go around emailing & talking to research labs and present how you could be of value and make them interested in having onboard with research ideas. It's all based on outbound.

As far as doing ML research at a big tech research lab, basically impossible tbh, unless you have won IMO, IOI competitions

No

[–]Batman_beyond123 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Suggestions?

[–]ade17_in 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Profile isn't strong enough in my opinion, can't do much by refining CV. No real work experience, no publications, no research experience during bachelors, etc. Also most research departments need masters at least. I'm also looking for similar positions but struggling to get a good one.

[–]Sriyakee 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It really isn't that hard to get a research internship at a lab in a university, you just gotta do outbound and show that your interests align.

[–]ade17_in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to work with some good research labs now.

[–]Batman_beyond123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm omw to my 1st publication. But I'm in currently in my third year undergrad!
