Speaker’s Title: Staff Engineer, Machine Learning Research
Speaker’s Affiliation: Qualcomm Technologies Inc., San Diego, California
Seminar Title: My Transition from Traditional Signal Processing to Machine Learning
Abstract: The past five years at Qualcomm were an exciting adventure to me and I would like to share it with you. I will cover the challenges, opportunities, decisions, and lessons learned with the focus on my transition from traditional signal processing to deep learning. I will go over how to apply for co-op, internships, or permanent positions. We have way more exciting problems to solve than the time we have, so come help us out!
