What's your background? Given the rather stringent entry requirements, why do you think you were accepted? I'm guessing this is an extremely competitive placement!
Thanks, I'm curious as I have a PhD in computer vision and now work for a small company. It wasn't machine learning based, but all this stuff kicked off in the middle of it - had I started now, I would guess it would almost certainly involve deep learning as that's where all the money is. It's looking more and more like we're going to start leveraging deep learning at work. This sounds something that would be really interesting to apply for in the next batch (assuming it's around in 2018).
