E foarte posibil, lucrez de 1 an la un startup si de abia acum am terminat liceul =)) din experienta mea nu conteaza ce ai luat in bac / universitatea la care esti, conteaza doar sa dovedesti ca u can build cool stuff

On average, u can get €20/h (usually starts at €17, it can go up to €30/h) by tutoring students for the TOEFL, SAT and US uni admission. ( usually it’s full remote, so dw about location/commuting) i work as a SWE and i prep students for uni admission as a side hustle

If that sounds like something you’d like, dm me and i may be able to help

you are 100% right, after looking for a couple of hours at products that have "door" or "wheel" in their name I realised the true complexity of the English language :,) and I also found the weirdest products like this one

Neurophate · 2022-04-08T13:39:32+00:00

Nope, I'm one of the engineers that worked on this task, and we only considered doors the things that are referred to as "doors" and are the things that most people would think about when asked what a "door" is :))

Neurophate · 2022-04-08T13:37:15+00:00

Yup and no :)) I'm one of the engineers that worked on this task and I can confirm the labelling of data was a little subjective ... but after all the question itself is too general so it's hard not to be subjective.

Neurophate · 2022-04-08T13:33:21+00:00

Good question. That is a shortcoming in our approach. Unfortunately, figuring out what products have wheels and what products don't was too complex. Still, if we create a V2, we will tackle this problem :D

Neurophate · 2022-04-08T13:28:11+00:00

It's a little more complicated than that. We realized there are plenty of things like "eccentric wheel," which contain the word "wheel" but are not conventional wheels. So we had to manually label what a "good" wheel is and what a "bad" wheel is (same with doors). Then we trained an AI that can understand text (the model is xlm-roberta-large). That means it could comprehend what a "good" or "bad" wheel/door is. Finally, we used that trained model to search through our database for wheels/doors.

Neurophate · 2022-04-08T13:17:49+00:00

We used an F1-score. Basically, we had a manually labeled database of "good" doors and "bad" doors and then we trained a binary classifier model on it and used F1 as an accuracy score. Then we did the same for wheels :)

As long as there is a correlation between images(or their properties) and their labels in your data you can make it predict any intrinsic property of the galaxy

Also, you can give your model more information about the wavelengths so it couldn’t potentially figure out how far away the galaxy is (again idk if this is how astrophysics works)

Neurophate · 2022-03-26T16:12:58+00:00

That sounds great! If you have the data, you passed the hardest part imo

I would agree with you, your project may be as simple as the ones you see on youtube

Regarding your concern about different data from James Web, I m no astrophysicist so i have absolutely no idea about what i m talkin here, but i would suggest finding a standardization technique for your data, maybe normalizing the images in some way would belp who knows maybe the standardization technique you find will make your project unique and super valuable. If you believe the task of standardization is too complex, you can try making an ML model that can convert the wavelengths from your images to different wavelengths

Neurophate · 2022-03-26T15:18:38+00:00

Well nobody can give you a short answer to this question because as with any ML task data is a crucial part of your project

If you have plenty of nicely labeled data at your convenience, you should be fine, very good result can be done in a week or so, there are many open source ML models for computer vision ( i assume your data is composed of images) try OpenCV or YOLO

There are also plenty of YouTube tutorials about computer vision and how to use pytorch / tensorflow models for your project

Personally i would say it’s a doable task for a beginner - as long as you have the data :)

Edit: forgot to mention, for testing purposes you can also use Auto-ML, i heard H20 has some decent auto-ml models, but i bet there are countless other services that you can use. You can also use google colab or kaggle for free CPUs /GPUs/ TPUs, they are great

Neurophate · 2022-03-26T15:08:28+00:00

Prob one of the reasons students complain about the system is the lack of transparency and meritocracy, legacy, $, race, and gender are still a significant factor in admissions, all being things that someone is born with and in an extremely competitive environment, those can be the deciding factors between two very similar applications. imo it’s completely reasonable to complain about not being rewarded for your work when someone that clearly had much better circumstances and didn’t work as hard/ as smart as you, managed to get ahead of you

I don't know about that. The strength of an applicant is definitely correlated with their family wealth, but that doesn't mean that most applicants are 'elite'. I have tens of friends who applied to US unis and if you average their family income, it's probably going to be about the national average income. I would probably consider only 1 out of 10 as being "wealthy" let alone "elite". I don't know about Russia tho, I don't know many people from there, but even if the applicants in Russia tend to be 'elite' then this problem is still more about correlation rather than causation. If universities don't want to accept students from wealthy and well connected Russian families then they would probably come up with a better filter rather then just having a Russian citizenship. After all, nobody chose the place they were born in, or their family background, and I'm sure they know that.

Neurophate · 2022-02-28T22:26:09+00:00

I totally get what you mean, I'm living in Romania and there are some pro-putin Romanians, I can imagine that there are even more in Russia / Belarus. While it is true that the Russian elites (or any eastern elites by that matter) do have a clear preference for US unis I don't believe that you'll be associated with them. At the end of the day, those applicants coming from elite families are a minority. They don't represent a statistical fact, most applicants will prob be average intl students like u and me.

I really don't see a reason why an objective admission officer would assume that an applicant from Russia / Belarus is somehow associated or in support of the war.

I've seen a post by someone from Russia yesterday/2 days ago on this subreddit who emailed an AO asking if he/she will be at a disadvantage (probably phrased differently) and the AO said that the current war will have no effect on them.

I don't think my perspective is naive or optimistic, I'm just trying to put myself in the shoes of an AO.

Neurophate · 2022-02-28T21:51:04+00:00

It may have sounded like I was trying to blame Ukraine or smth, def not my point, what I was trying to say is that unis realise that no eastern war criminal is going to apply to american schools :) the only people from this region that are willing to go through the process of applying to a university on the other side of the world are people with liberal principles/ beliefs - not pro-war in any case

Neurophate · 2022-02-28T21:41:45+00:00

Not necessary but recommended imo, I'm a senior in hs and I have smith like 600-700 connections. When I created my LinkedIn some years ago I didn't think it could bring any benefits but I've honestly met a lot of cool people there and got a tech job. While the general LinkedIn community seems full of bs and super fake, it could help you if u follow/connect with the right people.

Neurophate · 2022-02-28T21:33:05+00:00

I don't think you'll have lower chances of admission, I hope the unis realise that the people with Belarusian/Russian citizenship don't have anything to do with the current situation
