One of the things I like about the residency program, and google brain in general, is the openness of the research environment. For example, it is easy for us to release open source code related our research, and in fact we are even encouraged to do so. Some of us even continue to write personal blogs about machine learning research work done in the program. In addition to open source projects such as tensorflow, peo…

If you are looking for an engineering oriented experience you should apply for a full time Software Engineer or Intern position.
Already a fulltime Engineer myself, I guess what I am looking at can be more phrased as applied machine learning, to solve production related problems. This is somewhat different than a regular engineering role though.

This program sounds very competitive and I would love to get in, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi there! I'm Cinjon, a current resident in the Google Brain Residency. Feel free to ask any Qs and I'll answer them.
"Brain residents will spend the first two weeks of the program going through the Google Orientation sessions interlaced with introductory deep learning classes" It would be great if, Google can make these two week introductory courses available for everyone.
Why aren't any of these geniuses working on AGI? Such as applying some of these NN advancements to agents in diverse 3d virtual environments attempting varied/gradually increasingly complex tasks and learning based on low-level (grounded) sensory inputs?

Hey Cinjon, I am wondering if I may ping you off line for a few questions about applying for this program? I am currently completing a master's in robotics and doing natural language processing research. And just heads up I also replied to hardmaru's comments with a more complete self introduction.

Hey, Thank you for answering questions. I was wondering if any of you have blogs describing your experiences so far. Also: I was wondering how much you interact with the other current residents in the program. Are you all together coming up with new ideas? Or are there multiple small group with their own interests...
It's like any other (research) endeavor with lots of people involved. Some of us share research interests and so we coalesce around efforts towards accomplishing those goals. Out of the resident pool, I am currently working with Ryan and have had some discussions about collaborations with Denny and Justin.
Take a look at the published papers though and you can see some pairs that have flourished by working in the same vicinity.
This is a wonderful part of the program though, and it doesn't stop with the Residents. Brain is such a great place for ideas to meld and for people to come together to collaborate; it's designed to encourage that.

Hi! Thanks for taking your time doing this. Are there projects in the intersection between deep learning and neuroscience? As mentioned there are people with neuroscience background but from the papers mentioned, I dont see something really neuroscience related.
