Nate Soares recommends pairing up when studying, so I figured it would be useful to facilitate that.
If you are looking for a study partner, please post a top-level comment saying:
- What you want to study
- Your level of relevant background knowledge
- If you have sources in mind (MOOCs, textbooks, etc), what those are
- Your time zone
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.
