EPFL is a great school, especially if you are planning to stay in Europe. And I believe that the cost of education in Switzerland is not as insanely high as in US. What is your subfield and how great is PI? =) -
Unfortunately, trading companies are not eager to share their work (for obvious reasons). The ones that do get published are usually laughable. TBH, judging from my short experience in a hedge fund that tried to do that -- DL just might not be a good fit. I suspect that companies that do claim success in do it because of the deep learning hype. But don't take my word on it -- I'm not a specialist in trading and my experience took time a few years back. A simple search now gave me much more results -- like https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.06561v2.pdf , you can look up the authors. But I'd still expect the research to happen in industry labs, not in academia.

Oh, thank you, that would be very useful! And yes, I was accepted for Computer Science.

Hi! I have also been accepted to Stony Brook and seriously considering accepting the offer. But from what I can see on on-campus living site from my acceptance letter all the dorm fees are under 5000/semester, which is lower than @indigopierogy said. I'd love to know more about living costs too. I'm also not sure how the housing works during summer -- should I pay a separate fee, find another place to live or is it included in semester fees -- as a foreigner I don't know the system.

Profile evaluation: PhD in computer science (Computer Vision)
Arkhy replied to popbuilds's topic in Computer Science
Post Doc positions imply that you have a PhD (which kind of makes sense, given the name =) ), don't they? And it might be impossible to get a job in academia or strong industry research lab without PhD. On the other hand somebody with 2 Masters might finish PhD earlier. Tot the original question: I don't think I'm qualified to do a profile evaluation, but compared to other applicants that I see in results page (including me =) ) your profile looks quite strong. -
This is silly, but make your text forms big enough to type in my university name! And don't make me go through 5 search forms -- I know perfectly well you don't have my unknown Russian university -- let me just type in some kind of abbreviation so that you still can find it, since I can't fit the whole name because it won't fit in. Also don't make me type in my transcripts, and if you do -- make the form big enough, again!

Programs that have completed application reviews
Arkhy replied to tstone18's topic in Waiting it Out
Well, that makes a lot of sense, considering that we are applying for the same field and CMU is extremely strong in it. I actually think I applied to all your schools except for UMD. -
Which school is it?

Programs that have completed application reviews
Arkhy replied to tstone18's topic in Waiting it Out
OMG, I almost cried, you should't just say these things. CMU is my dream school but they haven't even begun processing for computer science yet -
Totally agree with MatineBluePsy here. I applied to 30 schools, but I made a list and said that I'm applying to a lot of schools from the very beginning. I sent the list to my recommenders and we synced with them. Also thanked them a lot, yeah, I know, it's very uncomfortable. Also I sent the most important ones first, so that if my recommenders were fed up at least I had those =)

I feel you. It's an obsession. And people from the programs I applied to are getting offers already. Also, I'm so afraid of interviews, I'm horrible with them and I don't understand what these interviews look like.
-
Honestly, I have no idea what exactly are they looking at. I have two strong LORs, one of which is from Google and another is from professor with whom I have written a book on machine learning, plus 4 years of industry experience, so that might have helped.
-
I'm doing machine learning and NLP, which are pretty popular topics, so really it wasn't such a big problem. Of course some of them align better with my interests, but I don't think I can pinpoint exactly what would be my thesis topic right now, so I'm open for some exploration =) Yeah, I'm an international applicant with unusual background, so I have no idea what are my chances.

Cool, is she in CS too?

That is so not surprising, especially in the view of the recent scandal with statistics professor at NIPS. But the white old professors who are adequate in that respect still do exist. I'm applying to like 30 places because that's how paranoid I am.

I am a woman in Computer Science. Felt quite uncomfortable writing diversity statements for some universities. Anyway, I was researching it, and the admittance for the school that had this data was 11% for male students and 15% for female, or something like that.

Hi! I've been admitted, but I'm going to join in winter if I will, since I'm only getting my degree in June. Would be nice to chat with someone who's going through all this, though =)
