Just know stuff. (Or, how to achieve success in a machine learning PhD.) · Patrick Kidger
Introduction So I recently completed my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Oxford. (Hurrah! It was so much fun.) In 2-and-a-bit years I wrote 12 papers, received 4139 GitHub stars, got 3271 Twitter followers, authored 1 textbook – doing double-duty as my thesis – and got the coveted big-tech job-offer. On Neural Differential Equations If you’re interested in a textbook on Neural Differential Equations with a smattering of scientific computing, then my thesis is available online.
