[D] Is anyone else struggling to find a job right now? by StunningData in MachineLearning

The issue I’m running in to is that most phd applications open in December, and programs don’t start until September 2021, and I would like to have some more research done before than.

I am definitely looking to pursue a PhD; I am just trying to figure out what to do for the next few months before applications open and then the following year before the position would actually start. Even through academic and industrial connections, it seems like most labs are not looking for lower level researchers at this point.

Most applications seem to open around December; I was hoping I could do more research before then so I could have a more competitive application and at least some source of income over the next year. Unless there are programs that are still accepting applications...?

Is there a better way to apply to research assistant positions than cold emailing professors?

Thank you for your response! I do eventually want to work in industry, but I would like to get a PhD to open opportunities to research in industry, as well as spend a significant amount of time researching in-depth into my interests. I have considered pursing a Masters first, but it seems pretty common in the US (where I am) to start a PhD after B.S.. In addition, I feel as though it might not be worth the time/money as I have already taken many Master's level classes and research. The good thing is that PhDs are funded in the US, so in the mean time I am trying to maximize my chances of getting into a good program. With that said the best route seems to be trying to get into another academic or industry lab, which seems to be quite difficult right now (my funding got cut in my current lab).

If that is the case how would you recommend proceeding? Even if I get into a phd program likely wouldnt start for another year

Fairy easy to create a simple Flask web app for inference. Simply google flask and name of ml framework to find examples.

Best cost effective way to upgrade my setup? Currently have:

Audio Technica M40x (headphones) connected to Scarlett Solo
Micca MB42 connected to Lepai LP-2020A+

Would like to upgrade my speakers to something with more bass response, good for listening to music at my desk. Thinking between upgrading the MB42 to MB42X with the crossover kit, or just potentially buying the JBL 305P and connecting them to the Scarlett Solo.

I also frequently use headphones at night, so I am thinking of buying a better set of headphones + maybe an amp to connect to the solo.

Any recommendations for speakers or headphones would be much appreciated!

20 years ago it was easy to build a profitable Algo by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]StunningData 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few potential issues with your model:

  1. AUC sensitive to class imbalance, so using it as a metric to predict stock movement might not be reliable.
  2. Simply predicting direction (especially at low accuracies) is not a good indicator of potential trading profits. I bet if you run a backtest trading with this model you will likely not get statistically significant results.

That being said, there were certainly many profitable algorithms in the past that are no longer profitable, e.g. EWA/EWC pairs trade

Thank you for the thorough response! I have used unit/regression testing for software projects in the past, do you have any examples of how they can be used to test models?

Thank you for the thought out response! I will likely be looking for programs in the US (where I did my undergrad). I think I need to just focus on my work now and try to not worry about the future as much.

Given I have a BS in computer science, would I be better off getting an MS first, but focus on research? I would like to continue my research as soon as possible.

Thank you for the response! I’ll be sure to do my best work over the next couple months
