Hi, Im a new grad ( graduating Dec 2019) seeking referral for SWE-ML role. Masters at CMU(4+ gpa) Two workshop pubs ( at top tier NLP conference) Impactful intern project at Amazon ( as Applied Scientist Intern) 2YoE prior to Masters , doing Search and ML at an Investment Bank LeetCode-150+
Out of curiosity, was it CMU's MS in ML, or some other specialization within the CS department that still allowed you to study ML and publish papers? I was wondering because I'll be applying to CMU's MS CS program, with the goal of pursuing an ML role. Feel free to respond via PM, if preferred.
You can apply to multiple masters program . Multiple depts(SCS/MLD/LTI/Robotics) allow you to take ML specific courses.
Are there other programs besides the highly selective ML program that could realistically help me publish ML papers, and not merely study ML? Curious which ones provide time for research. And curious if you had dedicated time for research, or had to fit it in on top of a full course and research schedule.
Messaged you.
Can't refer you bc I don't work there but I just want to say good luck! You sound like you have a great background.
