Hi,
I have two areas I'd like to study: deep learning, and anything on the MIRI research guide. Lots of material is available on both topics, but I'd like to pair up with someone to build a good learning strategy (for lack of a better expression).
I have some knowledge of algebra, probability theory, logic, game theory, machine learning (Master's Degree in Computer Science).
Regarding deep learning, I have a small collection of links, Udacity, and I'm positive learning materials abound now that the field is really popular.
Regarding MIRI's research guide, well, the guide itself provides a lot of links and pointers.
My timezone is CET (UTC+1).
I'm going to apply for AI research related PhD this year. I want to start some research project in the near future with a goal of learning and increasing the chances of successful PhD admission. It's very likely that the domain of this research project will lie close to ML or MIRI research agenda.
I have only a bachelor degree in Engineering (CS and Software Engineering). I work as a software engineer and spend evenings by preparing for GRE, thinking and learning about FAI. Probably will do something with my job to free more time. My timezone: UTC+6.
I forgot to mention I was currently an AI PhD student. Which doesn't entail much free time ^^
So... what exactly are you interested in learning (if you want to pair up)? I'm also interested in your project, if you have an idea in mind.
