Quite disappointed in Indian election results, not because who's winning/losing, but because of the state we gotten ourselves into:
1. If INDI bloc forms govt. (unlikely), we all agree that it will be a chaotic/unstable govt.
2. Even if NDA forms govt., but only with allies like Nitish Kumar, it may still prove to be unstable too. I don't trust Nitish Kumar at all, neither should BJP.
Either way, it seems like the next govt will be unstable.

@zamir_ar Really nice work from your group, I would be interested in the Post-doc position, is there any deadline for the position?

I will hire PhD students and postdocs, especially in large multimodal models and related areas.

It was one of the best talks of the @M2lSchool summer school.
Sander Dieleman@sedielem
At the end of the summer, I gave an invited talk at the @M2lSchool in Thessaloniki about training neural networks. It's a bit of a jumble of ideas, suggestions and best practices I've amassed over the years, interspersed with concrete examples. youtube.com/watch?v=wO4quY…

Had the privilege of attending the funeral mass of Dr. Kevin McGuinness today of @insight_centre and @DCU. What a remarkable young man, and a giant of a person, not to mention his research allocades. Beautiful words by his wife & his colleague @oconnorn
what a footprint you left

A brilliant mind, the kindest heart, and pioneer in the introduction of deep learning to @UPCTelecos @UPC_School Barcelona.

@crt_ai @BarryOSullivan @ivanadusparic @TizianaMargari1 @dcucomputing @DCUEngineering @UL_Research @tcddublinscss @galwaycs @PaulBuitelaar @suz_research These opportunities will provide you with access to top supervisors and cutting edge research.
However, given the PhD funding crisis, we strongly recommend waiting until the government review of PhD conditions is completed before applying for any funded PhD position in Ireland.

Indian PhD students from @iiscbangalore, who have first-authored papers at prestigious conferences like @CVPR, are facing unjust denials of Canadian visas. With Shocking reasons "limited employment possibilities in India" and "purpose of visit not consistent with a temp. stay."

Trinity has taken key steps to improve #funding for #PhD researchers, including consolidating the University’s three internal #postgraduate #research schemes and increasing their associated #stipends to €25,000.

#Ireland is not a ideal place to do #PhD. No employee status and the stipends are lower than the minimum wage. non-EU researchers like myself face a 1000€ yearly research expense for the residence permit and mandatory health insurance that @scienceirel refuses to reimburse.
PWO Ireland@PWO_Ireland
Today we sent a public letter to @PhilipNolan_SFI, Director General of the SFI @scienceirel, the largest funder of PhDs in Ireland. We asked for unequivocal advice to all SFI centres to let non-EU PhDs claim expenses for mandatory insurance and the Irish Residence Permit 1/6

I am still paying 300 euros every year to renew my residence permit for 4 years and it is not considered as residential years for longer residence. Instead, I will have to work for another 5 years. If you are non-EU student looking for PhD, avoid Ireland.
