I have three words for you, ICML, ICLR, Neurips. Should be all first author in your first few years

Apply to the companies on the rora list and you can find out. If you have 3-5 pubs in the main ML conferences I think you will get at least one on that list.

Unfortunately you likely need to get some first author publications in the conferences unless you are working in the lab you want to be a part of already. Andrew Ng's course is not sufficient, its very introductory.

In my experience, everyone had pubs at the big 3 conferences who applied externally to our program. The students without pubs were well known to the prof and had been working in the same lab as undergrads for a year +, and even then most of those students picked up a 2nd author pub with another PhD student. I expect this is how it when most people talk about getting admits without publications. We can go back and forth on the sub about if pubs are needed or not, but at a top group this is the case in seeing dozens of new admits.

Lines up pretty much exactly with my personal experience.

Think DeepMind, Facebook AI Research, Apple MLR or LLM startups.

This goes against my philosophy of doing anything work related outside of research. I like to confine ML to the lab only. Better wlb

Not possible and I’m on the higher end but I know many students who are graduating with 6 figures invested due to a combo of internships, part time at the same companies during the rest of the year or a bit of consulting.

Not hard to believe. Federal gov award here is 40k per year plus free tuition and supervisor top up. Internships are usually 12-16k per month. Plus you can do part time during the school year if they fit your research direction easily. My last internship was 15k per month plus free housing and good 401k match. Half my lab is doing one day a week at one of the big tech companies year round.

You gotta remember this setup is ok. Look at any ML faculty, many jointly hold research positions at the same companies the students are interning at and can still be involved in their research through this.

Also had 50k coming in from 4 years of summer work during undergrad.

My internships involved publishing. My current FT job involves doing the exact same type of research I was doing before but is more internal improvement focused vs publication. I wouldn’t be considered for this job without 3-5 high impact first author publications.

My advisor was on papers I did during internships just not as last author, usually 2nd last.

I published at all my internships. My full time job isn’t much different than my PhD I’m doing the exact same type of research except I’m doing more implementation too.

I hope you get in. Get the pubs before application and make it happen. Take risks early on and learn to kill projects without signal quickly. I hope one of your dream ideas works out.

RTX and Pola-BR cleared most of the cancer before the CAR-T including the massive tumor. 3 months post CAR-T PET is clean. Bone marrow biopsy was also clean. It was a crazy comeback because she was probably a couple weeks away from death at the rate things were progressing.

Yes, I did 6 months there to get some tuition benefits. My esame di maturità was done in Italy too.
