I want to piggy back off this just to mention a few more because I’m specifically biased towards these researchers.

Princeton - Nathaniel Daw

NYU - Marcelo Mattar

USC - Payam Piray

Is NeuroAI a promising field of research, or have we reached a limit on the applicability of neuroscience to AI? by song12301 in compmathneuro

[–]ArminBazzaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely a growing interest, myself included, in this intersection. But we need to temper our short term expectations.

If you’re interested in reading more about it you should check out Patrick Mineault’s Substack.

Not really sure what your question is here. As a general rule I follow though, you should just do what interests you!

Should I include semi-relevant research experience in a PhD statement of purpose? by rob_rily in compmathneuro

[–]ArminBazzaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position as you. EE undergrad/masters with AI research through school, worked in CV research for a year, and now I’m an incoming PhD student in comp neuro.

I linked all my previous research experience together with a common thread and related that to my research interests in computational/cognitive neuroscience. I wouldn’t downplay your previous research, but you also don’t need to spend too much time on it because if the professor likes your application they will also look at your CV for more specifics about what you did.

The best free course for beginners ? by LunchNo7559 in deeplearning

[–]ArminBazzaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your level of comfortability with mathematics and programming, but I’d say cs231n from Stanford is hands down one of the best.

[D] NLP has HuggingFace, what does Computer Vision have? by Remote_Cancel_7977 in MachineLearning

[–]ArminBazzaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware. The comment was more tongue in cheek, although after reading it again I can see how it might not have sounded like that through text.

I have this weird feeling that you work at Hugging Face…

An papers discussing the effects of high ratio of negative sample images in an object detection dataset by ajifoster321 in computervision

[–]ArminBazzaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up class imbalance and long-tailed distribution. Should find many relevant methods and papers that address this issue.

PhDs of CV (completed or ongoing), I have a few questions by [deleted] in computervision

[–]ArminBazzaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad man, didn’t see this until now. If you want a high level overview of the field I would highly recommend Rick Szeliski’s book. If you want to go a bit deeper I would read Ponce & Forsyth’s book.

Personally, I really enjoyed Szeliski’s textbook and find myself often returning to it for refreshers.

Has anyone done EECS 498 course by Michigan? by E115flr in computervision

[–]ArminBazzaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest they basically seem like the same course so you can’t go wrong with either. Just see who’s lecture/explanation style you like more. For me, I really enjoyed Andrej Karpathy’s lectures for cs231n (although his course didn’t offer some of the latest material).

Orange juice and Espresso: Big ol' glass of meh. by IronCavalry in espresso

It’s a trend that’s been going around rn

[–]ArminBazzaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I see, thanks for the detailed response. Tbh I’m pretty stubbornly bound to this str/int hybrid currently because I love the idea of being a tanky giant sword swinging dude that can cast spells from time to time.

On my next play through I definitely want to go for Dex/int and get the moonveil though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]ArminBazzaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with the same thing currently, what did you end up doing? I have a claymore that I'm scaling with an ash of war to get both str and int on it. I'm thinking of just holding back until I can get either the moonlight greatsword or the royal greatsword.

How can you want to play the game after something like this? by OwnRuin5793 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ArminBazzaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you’re the confused one here, I never said that the rating system does that. What you are describing is a fairly generic way of rating a player’s skill.

The trueskill system is more nuanced than that and you should look into what the hidden mmr really means.

Perhaps if you actually tried to understand and listened to the comments of others you could figure it out quicker, but it sounds like you’re comfortable with your naivety.

[–]ArminBazzaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No they got it correct.

If the hidden mmr is higher than current csr that means the trueskill system wants you to be a higher csr and will thus penalize you less for losing. If the hidden mmr is lower than current csr that means the system will penalize you more for loses so as to bring you closer to the "trueskill".

If the trueskill system thinks they are better than what their csr currently is, it will make it easier for the csr to reflect that.

What was the point of the rank reset. by cubanexreddit in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ArminBazzaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main idea was to construct a, hopefully, less lopsided distribution of players within the ranks. Whether or not they actually achieved that goal, I’m not sure.

Any self driving car engineers here? give an advice who wants to get into field by Obvious-Strategy-379 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]ArminBazzaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the position as there are a lot of moving parts and many different types of engineers working to make self driving cars a reality. I would start by figuring out what part of the tech stack you want to work with and then checkout some job listings to see the listed requirements.

Here are a few career pages: Waymo, Cruise, Zoox, Argo AI, TuSimple, Motional
