The purpose of this program is to provide graduate application support and feedback to students who are interested in applying to PhD programs in theory of machine learning.
To be considered for the program, please apply by October 18 by filling out this form:
The application is open to all. We especially encourage students from marginalized communities to apply for this program. You will be notified by October 25 whether your application has been accepted. Accepted applicants will be matched with a senior mentor for two 45-minute mentoring sessions. The first session will be held during November 8-12 and will include introductions, general advice, and a review of a (rough) draft of their application material. The second session held during November 22-24 will focus more on the application materials and changes made since the first meeting.
For the first year of this program, we will focus on supporting students who will be applying to PhD programs in the US and Canada, although we intend to expand our reach in subsequent years. Participants will be selected based on the proximity of their research interest to the theory of machine learning community, the availability of potential matches, and the potential benefit they would receive from this program.
