Admission

We are looking for new students to join our group in the next academic year!

The main directions of research in our group include Deep Learning, Bayesian Methods, Optimization in Machine Learning, Structured Prediction, and Reinforcement Learning. For now, we work only with Russian-speaking students from Moscow universities. Bachelor students of the 2nd - 4th years and Master students of the 1st year of study are eligible to apply (the year of study in 2017/2018).  

Admission process (all steps of the process are in Russian):

1. Complete the online application form. We have the same form for all students, so it is ok if you are a bachelor student of the 2nd year and you don’t have full answers to all questions.
2. Write a scientific report on a topic which we will send you after the 1st step. Send a finalized scientific report to Nadia Chirkova (nchirkova@hse.ru) (please, use the tag [BayesGroupAdmission] in a subject of your email). Information about report format.
3. We will invite you to the oral interview.
4. The best applicants will be selected to participate in a summer internship. This internship is a kind of probation: you will work on a research project with a curator from our group and we understand whether we are a good match. The internship may be skipped in extra cases.

The deadline for the scientific report is May 1. We will organize interviews in May and notify the applicants accepted to the internship at the end of May.

For bachelor students of the 2nd year from CMC MSU the process is slightly different because of the faculty’s time limits. For these students the deadline for the scientific report is April 12. Interviews will take place after that and decisions will be announced at the end of April. The decision about the admission to the group will be done without the internship. However, the participation in the internship is also strongly recommended.

If you have any questions, please contact Nadia Chirkova (nchirkova@hse.ru). Please, use the tag [BayesGroupAdmission] in a subject of your email.
