CSE Undergrad News

The Resume Review Workshop will be held next Wednesday January 11th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm in the CSE Atrium

This workshop is designed to allow you to gather tips from the experts to turn your resume drafts into documents that will help land your dream job or internship.

All you need to attend is a few printed copies of your resume–anything from a rough draft to almost-finished product is fine.  Show up anytime between 3:00 and 5:00 pm (plan on 20 minutes per review) to share your resume with 1 or more recruiters or technical interview experts from several of our affiliate companies, both large and small.  These experts will provide resume advice to get your resume in great shape for the upcoming recruiting fair on January 25th and 26th.

What is the CSNE Hackathon?

The CSNE Hackathon is a weekend-long event where teams of students work together to apply principles of sensorimotor neural engineering to create novel technology on an accelerated time scale.

Each team will be provided with an array of technologies and their own PC to work on the project. At the conclusion of the Hackathon, teams will present their project prototypes to a panel of judges and members of the CSNE community.

Apply here!

Apply now for the 2017 Brain Residency Program!

The Google Brain team successfully announced and launched the Brain Residency Program in October 2015 and we welcomed our first cohort of Residents in June this year. We are once again proud to announce that the Google Brain team is re-opening the application for the 2017 Brain Residency Program, and we encourage you to apply!

To find out more about the work being done on the Google Brain team and learn about the Google Brain Residency Program for 2017, we invite you to check out the following video:

Jeff Dean Talks Google Brain and Brain Residency

What Is The Brain Residency Program?

The Google Brain Residency Program is a one-year intensive residency program focused on Deep Learning.  Residents will have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research and work alongside some of the most distinguished deep learning scientists within the Google Brain team. To learn more about the team and what we do, visit g.co/brain.

We encourage you to apply! The ideal candidate should have a degree (BS, MS, or PhD) or equivalent practical experience in a STEM field such as Computer Science, Mathematics, or Statistics. Current students would need to graduate before the Residency begins.  Candidates should present evidence of proficiency in programming (preferably in Python or C++) and in prerequisite courses.  Most importantly, we are looking for candidates who are hardworking, motivated and have a strong interest in the field of machine learning and deep learning research! Further information can be found at g.co/brainresidency

Interested in applying?

Application is currently open! Visit g.co/brainresidentapply to find out how to apply and what materials to prepare. We will be accepting applications from now until January 13th, 2017, interviewing candidates in February 2017 and notifying candidates if they have been accepted by April 2017. The anticipated start date will be in July 2017.

Hi,

Position 1: Textual Data Management and Extraction

 

We have over 2,200 reports, which contain rich textual data on school management, reform implementation, and tasks. We are looking for an undergraduate research assistant who can help

• (a) use PDF converter to transform these reports into plain texts or excel
• (b) use Python or other coding program to convert these data into a longitudinal database that can be used for Natural Language Processing (NLP);
• (c) if the student is able to or interested to learn, then conduct Structural Topic Modeling or other analysis of the textual data.

Position 2: Data Management

 

We are inviting an undergrad student to join our team to help with data cleaning and management. The responsibilities of this student will include:

• (a) basic training on large-scale data management, such as coding variables, merging datasets etc.
• (b) competency in the use of statistical software, including STATA, R, etc
• (c) basic statistics.

The HCI lab is looking for 1-3 motivated undergraduates to help develop a crowdsourced accessibility web study. The study will look at listening rates of blind and sighted participants, and will be run over the LabintheWild platform. Skills you need (or are willing to learn): front-end web development in Javascript, HTML, and PHP, backend database management in MySQL. The site is already half-built. You will meet regularly with grad students and faculty, with help available. We can offer credit or monetary compensation. If you are interested, please e-mail dkbragg@cs.washington.edu.
