I stopped here: The residency program is similar to a top Master’s or PhD program in deep learning.

If you accept that a Master's program is contained within a PhD program, and this residency is similar to a PhD program in deep learning from a top school, then this would be the fastest PhD-like (revised from equivalent which is too strong of a claim) program ever. Only 12 months and a google badge!

Which makes it a great deal!

The very next sentence is:

> The residents are expected to read papers, work on research projects, and publish their work in top-tier venues.

My reading of that they're saying that the program has similar activities not that it provides a comparable outcome.

I submit the connections at Google are unbelievable. It seems reasonable that you could in fact learn substantially faster in that environment. I don't know if you can cram 6-7 years into one, but maybe in 2-3.
