Should you do a PhD in AI? If so, how to apply?
If you would like to support the channel for more videos: / emirhanbilgic I discussed how to find a suitable PhD/MSc (doctorate, master's) program in AI and the application process. I talked about MILA and ELLIS. You can also consider MCML, RelAI, CISPA, etc. OR just go to https://papercopilot.com/ and just check who is publishing in top conferences. If you're aiming for Stanford, etc., make sure to have publications in the following: ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, WACV, ACL, EMNLP. It's important to have a strong mathematical foundation (especially in linear algebra and optimization). You might be asked about these in interviews. But more importantly, know very well how to explain what's written in your application, word by word. The Max Planck Institute is also quite prestigious, either for a PhD or for an internship/master's thesis. Motivation letter examples: https://cs-sop.notion.site/CS-PhD-Sta...
