[Seeking Internship] 3rd year at UC Berkeley looking for ML engineering and research positions this upcoming summer. My research interests are primarily in multimodal learning and robotics. Currently a researcher at Berkeley AI Research. Looking forward to chatting!
I'm not sure I follow. They weren't pleased with the speed at which you completed tasks? I feel this might be specific to your company. I find this to be a very desirable trait, considering most professors at my university won't take undergraduate researchers on the basis that they simply don't complete tasks as quickly as a PhD would. Different contexts but I feel this example still holds some merit.
Also, we're entering a paradigm in which a lot of research is constrained by compute, and it can be very difficult to just "do AI research projects" when such projects involved training policies in virtual environments or designing the next transformer, for instance.
