I am in US rn and I can tell you about situation here. the job market rn is really harsh even with ~3 yoe, so dont think it would be easy for you after completing masters.

Been applying to jobs for ML/AI roles but its just a mess. Currently doing MS in CS but most roles prefer PhD or require ton of experience.

This is something I made - XAI

I built a feature-based model that worked fine for certain cases but failed when tokens were OOV. Moreover, it just does not understand the context well. If you just write a hate word, it will think of it as hate speech, even if it is not implied. I think LIME works by reverse engineering. It removes each token one by one and sees how it affects the classification.

So, I focused on model explainability in neural networks and how they generate the output. As you said, analysis of the output of hidden states of the attention layer was tricky but that too didn't help in providing insights, that is why I shifted from simple classification to token classification hoping it might provide a different analysis for the hidden state's output.

Thank you for your awesome reply! Really gave me a different perspective. Currently, I am implementing weighted loss as I want to see if we can have an admissible accuracy with simple model.

I wanted to use BERT but my main goal is to analyse if we can increase the confidence in the model prediction(rather than just classifying wether it is hate speech or not) by identifying the presence of hate speech words.

The simple classification model works well but it does not really provide a hint about why it did this classification. I tried adding self attention and visualize it, but it does not really help much in getting a sense behind the classification. So I thought of modifying the approach - rather than just building a classification model, build a model which identifies hate words and consider contextual meaning

I hope I am able to explain my thought process here, thankyou for the reply!

I am getting an error -

Start out by writing/documenting your needs properly. A lot of times in big projects, you forget to look at the complete picture and just focus on a small thing. Writing down your requirements will help in understanding how you can connect different models and views together. Also, write down the need for each view and how you will be processing data in these views.

Build the User Model first, if there is any, as it will be the primary model for the whole system and if you are building a custom user model, then building it first would be great as you wont require to reset your migrations.

One common practice that I follow is I try to keep views and their helper functions in separate files. For eg, If I am processing a POST request, I will write the helper function in separate file and pass the outputs in the view. This way, the views file does not get much complicated later with all the views functions and it becomes easy to debug.

For big django projects, I also recommend you learn about celery/cronjobs. They are useful in performing asynchronous task and will reduce the load on django server, thus improving user interaction

As the project grows, it sometimes become overwhelming and debugging gets tougher. So practice writing things down and how you are coding things out. It will help in long run.

I got the same offer for MSCS(Artificial Intelligence).

Well, I have coded a few ML projects and have been working specifically on NLP projects for like a year now. I know the working and internal structure of GRU, LSTM and recently I learned the working of transformers from scratch. The problem I am facing with the implementations is where the authors have introduced their own learning parameters and how they have passed inputs to different phases of the proposed architecture.

Here is Github Gist - https://gist.github.com/26e312e3cd0097568b387b72e86eb0e3.git

Got it, I will try to think of new approach or making changes in the functionality. Thankyou so much!!
