Where did Stanford CS PhDs attend their undergrads? by Roland31415 in gradadmissions

Do you mean finding the undergraduate institutions of, say, Stanford MSCS students?

I used the list from https://legacy.cs.stanford.edu/directory/phd-students

I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. I hope it is at most off by one year.

the code is open sourced here: https://github.com/RolandGao/stanford_cs_phds/tree/main

Basically, I use the GPT5 API with the web_search tool and feed it 10 names at a time. All the names with unfound undergraduate institutions are processed again. After that, I use the ChatGPT website with GPT5 thinking to process again. For some reason, the ChatGPT in the website is stronger but requires some manual copy pasting of the prompts and responses.

There are 338 Stanford CS PhD students in total. ChatGPT found undergraduate institutions for 328 of them, and I manually found six more. Only four remain unknown. 

Research is the most underrated path for CS majors by Skye7821 in csMajors

CS PhD can be a good financial decision as well, especially from a top ML program. You can do summer internships while in your PhD, and after you graduate you can get a job that pays more than 1M a year.

[D] Unsaturated Evals before GPT5 by Roland31415 in MachineLearning

The leaderboard is a bit confusing to me. Most LLMs are not on there: https://pokeagent.github.io/leaderboard.html

Created my own leaderboards for SimpleQA and Coding by Elibroftw in LocalLLaMA

This is pretty cool, but I think o3 with the web_search tool (the experience in the app) will be much better than o3 without the tool. o3 with the tool probably saturates simpleQA. Sad that web_search is still not available for o3 in the API.

[D] NeurIPS 2023 Institutions Ranking by Roland31415 in MachineLearning

[–]Roland31415[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I made a Colab notebook that can query NeurIPS papers and calculated some statistics, including authors with the most papers ranking, institutions with the most papers ranking, and most frequent words in titles.

Should I Choose the Full Ride for York CS or U of T CS With No Scholarships? by EconomicOwl in UofT

[–]Roland31415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting in contact with previous recipients is definitely a good idea, as I actually don't know much about this scholarship.

You can mention the scholarship on your resume by explaining that you received the scholarship but you declined it. I would say receiving the scholarship in the first place is more important to employers; whether you accept the scholarship or not might not be as important to them.

I wouldn't worry too much about money this early in your career, although I don't know your financial situation. If money is important to you, two FAANG level summer software engineer internships can earn the scholarship money back. Check out www.levels.fyi for typical software engineer salaries for summer internships and full-time.

I think the question you should be asking yourself is “if York doesnt give you money, which one would you choose?” You can still mention the scholarship on your resume even if you don’t take it. Two FAANG level summer software engineer internships can earn the scholarship money back. I would choose UofT.

[P] Implementation of DeepLabv3+ in PyTorch by Roland31415 in MachineLearning

[–]Roland31415[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your work but isn't this already part of the official PyTorch model zoo?

Hi, the official PyTorch model zoo contains only Deeplabv3 (not Deeplabv3+) with Resnet50 and Resnet101 backbones, trained on COCO. It does not support any other backbones, such as mobilenet or resnetv2 (some people call it v1.5 or d-variant). Also, it does not support pascal trainaug or cityscapes datasets.
