Applying & Joining
I was pointed to the internship by Trish McCall.
About the Program:
About the Program:
- HpccSystems is a state of the art solution for the high performance computing and they have numerous open summer projects to choose from(https://goo.gl/ePbAcR).
- Its 10-12 week program based on your availability.
- I was interested in the ECL projects and particularly ECL-ML since machine learning was part of my research and more importantly I get to implement a state of the art machine learning algorithm for an industrial application.
- My attention was drawn to the Gradient Boosting Algorithms project. The prime requirement was to implement Gradient Boosting Trees for Classification and Regression.
- I wrote a 3 page detailed proposal and sent it to the Project Manager(Dr John Holt) and the Intern Program Manager(Lorraine Chapman).
- Luckily, they liked my proposal and offered me a position over the summer.
- The program is really flexible and LN offers you a choice of either working from their Alpharetta office or from home. I chose home since to work from home as there was a Research Paper I am working on over the summer and need access to my lab. Lorraine was very supportive on this.
- As part of my research I also needed to access some data from LN servers which required me to be a physically present in an LN office. Lorraine, Dr Villanustre and Dr Holt were very supportive and they arranged a desk space for me in their Raleigh office.
