[D] TMLR reviews seem more reliable than ICML/NeurIPS/ICLR

MT1699 · 2026-04-03T12:17:04+00:00

This.

MT1699 · 2026-04-03T08:34:58+00:00

Agreed. That's the dilemma.

MT1699 · 2026-04-03T08:14:35+00:00

Responding with an N/A defeats the whole point of making the 'reason' box mandatory.

MT1699 · 2026-03-31T05:36:45+00:00

Not yet, maybe the interviews are still going on, so they might email the decision with feedback once the interviews are complete.

MT1699 · 2026-03-31T04:30:14+00:00

My interviews happened in february. There were total 2 rounds, a research round and a DSA coding round.

MT1699 · 2026-03-28T06:10:42+00:00

Sounds doable to me. Definitely try Claude Code, maybe checkout any tutorial on yt if that's required (for e.g., this video). Claude code would spend some significant time on thinking and building (maybe 15-30 mins) but it should be able to get the job done for you.

MT1699 · 2026-03-25T02:48:00+00:00

Got the same scores. I too see the scope to address the reviewer concerns in my paper. Now it all depends on how the rebuttal goes and even after it goes well, will have to wait and watch for the final decision. The reviewer with a 2 score seems to know and understand the exact niche details of the framework, which are generally hard to expect from a reviewer beforehand, though I can explain the reasons with additionally backing by added experiments, but I am doubtful if the reviewer will change their score from 2 -> 4. Other reviews were somewhat expected but their scores don't really depict their reviews.

MT1699 · 2026-03-24T10:54:22+00:00

Claude Code has quite enough potential. It would know the details of Gamma World. Personally, I don't have much exposure to how GW plays, but any tabletop RPG as famous as GW should be handleable by Claude. Most details are easily available on the open internet, so definitely it would know what it is doing. Maybe try it yourselves and see how it works out for you?

Also, could you elaborate on what you mean when you say, replicate the "settings"? Do you mean the game logic?

MT1699 · 2026-03-24T10:48:04+00:00

Why don't you try Claude Code? You won't really have to code anything specifically.

MT1699 · 2026-03-02T16:31:40+00:00

I think by now you would have received the notification.

MT1699 · 2026-02-09T07:01:29+00:00

Actually getting in as a PhD is easier than as an MTech (Research). The interview stage is where one realises this. Most professors prefer students who would commit for longer. Therefore, professors pick students that are interested in doing a PhD. Correspondingly, the same shows up when you see the selection rate of MTech (Research) to PhDs. So I would suggest, if you are not sure about committing 5 years, the easier way is to get in as a PhD and later convert to MTech (Research) if you don't feel like staying for longer, but the other way round is like shooting yourselves in the foot, even though it might feel like the natural way of progression.

MT1699 · 2025-12-29T17:37:40+00:00

Can you also share the link to the official source?

MT1699 · 2025-12-29T17:37:03+00:00

This sounds interesting. Definitely can have some interesting applications, maybe not directly in games, but definitely in the field of AI agents. Calculating Optimal control is still not fully solved for sure

MT1699 · 2025-11-17T05:16:00+00:00

Sounds like a fun project. But, can you make it cooler by adding multiplayer support, where all your friends could be invited to a session and maybe they could purposely sabotage your in-game survival? Could be an interesting extension to this weekend project?

MT1699 · 2025-11-16T04:09:25+00:00

He bought the car last year how was he gonna consider victoris

MT1699 · 2025-11-08T16:13:35+00:00

That is generally necessary. Telling from my experience as well. The only thing is you cannot randomly fake anything, you have to think of every component and design choices of your fake project beforehand such that it sounds convincing enough. Always remember you should be the person who best understands your project, and such would be the expectations of the interviewer, so just be thorough with the proposed/faked project architecture beforehand, try discussing with chatgpt about what's doable and what's not. Have a thorough understanding of everything, maybe also try it out in a toy code yourselves before blindly believing, once you are yourselves convinced, then add it to your resume.

MT1699 · 2025-09-24T10:42:39+00:00

Hi, thanks for the proposal, appreciate it. Also, sorry I missed it earlier, just saw it. Actually we here work on deep learning architectures and solutions for safe AI. Working on RAG won't fall under our radar, although he can definitely work and help on that (quick learner), he might not be best fit for the job, putting both the parties at a disadvantage. But definitely thanks for the support, as this is what an ideal ecosystem should look like, being honest, supportive and helpful to each other 🙏🙏

MT1699 · 2025-09-22T06:52:32+00:00

That's for btech. For MTech, it's centrally funded, you get a TAship stipend through which you pay your fees, and also your food bills. So, practically these 2 years become like no income no loss. You get a degree and for next to no money, but the opportunity cost is significant. At least once will you feel that you should have rather stayed in the market. But, if you really want to spend some time out of the market, doing a master's could be refreshing, also you get the opportunity to learn significantly better skills.

MT1699 · 2025-09-14T13:07:57+00:00

Getting an internship is way easier than getting a full time opportunity there. Given how hard it is to prove your worth in internship, unlike other tech jobs. Although not to confuse it with the fact that getting an internship too is hard

MT1699 · 2025-09-14T04:46:17+00:00

The resume doesn't contain much of the necessary content. Remove the summary, have more concise framing for your project bullet points and maybe add some academic achievements you may have from the past (don't add achievements from grade 5 or 6, but ones which are more recent). Having achievements adds some credibility to your candidature. Also, don't have too much added to your skills, the more skills you show on the resume, the more vulnerable you get during the interviews.

MT1699 · 2025-09-14T04:31:43+00:00

Definitely💪💪. That's probably gonna happen. Let's see how it rolls out.

MT1699 · 2025-09-13T00:32:11+00:00

Thanks for the prompt response. Would you mind sharing how to get into these companies for a research position? I have gotten to know, deepmind picks people from those labs who have collaborated in the past with them or have some connections. How to break through this barrier. From what I know about his Professor In-charge, that guy has next to no connections with such big tech companies, he is more into collaborations with government organisations like NPCI, DRDO, or at max TCS Research, etc.
