from the ask-hn dept.

I want to work on this problem http://www.kaggle.com/c/wikichallenge . I am not an expert at Data Mining and I just have theoretical knowledge so far. Any pointers on what should be my approach ? Anybody wants to join with me to form a team and solve it as a good learning exercise and may be aim for a good rank ?

Software development job that encourages challenging work in IR/Semantic Web/ML/Data mining.

Where ? you mean place ? I don't mind moving anywhere in united states if the work is good.

Thanks for your wishes.

I lost after 3rd round of Google today but thats not the end of the world and I am not giving up on looking for job opportunities. I haven't heard back from few of the other companies that I applied. I am also looking at options in 'who is hiring' thread of HN. I post it here to know if anybody of you is interested to consider me as a potential candidate for interview in your company and could...

Re:Ask HN: How to keep doing research work if not enrolled in any PhD ... on Thursday June 16, 2011 @09:04PM (#2663913)
I need money to survive. Just by doing research on my own I won't get paid. Doing Phd helps because most of the time one gets to work on interesting stuff and get paid by grants. Work at a good place like IBM ( and any other company which provides research based work ) would help me achieve both ( money and good work ). I can try and do routine software work for some company and carry out interesting projects in free time but it will have some limitations. At this stage of my life I cannot sit and do just research. I need someone to pay me for my living.

If its Solr or Lucene running underneath then you could use phonetic analyzer to get expected results if the spelling is not correct. I got results with'Steve Jobs'but when I tried 'Steve Jbs' I got no results. I would say getting close results is better than no results.

Many thanks!!!

:) true. Hence I work full-time on a research funded job at Cornell University.

Nice!!! I always knew of such things but never thought of these places from research angle. Working on those problems itself is challenging. May be I could keep an eye on such competitions going ahead so that even if I have to take up a less interesting software job in future, I might be able to at least satisfy the urge to work on something interesting by working on those problems with brilliant people.

on the other hand, I would also like to know how do people collaborate to do some research work or publish papers if they are not enrolled for any degree program. Professors play an important role in guiding the research and hence I am curious to know how do people come up with theories or results without guidance. Is there any website where such like-minded people can be found ? or ycombinator is the best place ?
Re:Ask HN: How to keep doing research work if not enrolled in any PhD ... on Friday June 03, 2011 @04:35PM (#2617878)
Thanks!! thats motivating. As of now looking for a job that helps me do research. I keep looking into new things on my own but that doesn't pay me and hence I think it forces me to look for options that involves routine software jobs. I have been looking for junior positions at all those places mentioned above but I couldn't find a match for myself.

Have you started working on anything ?
Re:Help HN: Want to build small web app for learning and side income. on Monday October 11, 2010 @10:55AM (#1779901)
even I am a full time employee (but m a Fresh Graduate). I have been seriously giving a thought on starting something of my own or at least deploy some application on apps engine and throw it for review on HN. I work on Java. Currently located at Cornell University, working on Semantic Web Application. Interested in Information retrieval and Machine Learning. Currently working on Semantic search and developing a small hobby application of entity finder. Can I be of help to anyone ? or anyone wants to work together towards some idea/application ? I struggle to take out some time for hobby projects with all day packed with project and assignments ( I have taken some additional courses in Comp. Sci here) but still there is this constant urge to do something more interesting and throw it out to people.
