Wanted: data mining students
Thu Aug 2 20:22:32 PDT 2007
Are you interested in data mining?
If not, why not?
Is there anything more fundamental or profound than automating our ability to generalize from experience, to bootstrap a dumber thing into a smarter thing?
And data mining/machine learning is a highly marketable skill. In fact, the number 1 skill that prospective employers can't say "no" to.
If you want to do a Masters or a PHD in data mining, and you are currently enrolled in a masters/phd program at WVU,
- I have opennings for 3 paid masters/phd GRAs in data mining (salary and tuition waiver)
- I can also take on about 3 more unpaid students, if that interests you.
- A condition of taking any of these positions is that you take cs591o.
- If you want one of those positions, please reply to tim@menzies.us in the next 7 days with (1) an url of your resume, in HTML not pdf or MS WORD, and (2) a url containing 1000 words in HTML not pdf or MS WORD, summarizing the following paper J. Dougherty and R. Kohavi and M. Sahami, Supervised and Unsupervised Discretization of Continuous Features, International Conference on Machine Learning, pp194-202, 1995
I am overseas for the next 10 days and will be interviewing students aug13/aug14. I may ask you to code up a little something before that meeting, just to let me see your programming skills.
For more information on my research, see my papers.
