My main aim for the next 10 years would be to be working in the field of Machine Learning possibly in research if I can manage into it/bear with it but I dont mind getting paid well for something I want to do. Research mainly because of the freedom to do your own thing. Possibly I would like to end up in Australia mainly because some of my family members live there and I enjoy being around family but US does have a lot more job opportunities.
Reason why i choose ML : - I enjoy the possibility of working on different problems and various datasets.
My Past experience : - I have experience in web development with python and django framework, mainly on the server side though. Never really liked JS or Java.
Self analysis: I was able to go through Dr. Andrew Ng's course with ease but i guess its meant to be like that. I like to go in the depths of stuff but I usually end up overwhelmed with it. I like being some sort of perfectionist i want things to be perfect as per my knowledge at least. My maths bacground is average, nothing that I can't improve upon though. I am a Gameoholic so i also might consider gameAI as a suggestion that is somthing yet to be explored, mainly online games like LoL, Counter Strike, Dota etc.
So far Markus Hutter's research on universal AI! have interested me mostly because I had this bizzare idea of defining relations between objects by putting them into random functions, I imagine thats how our brain would be processing the visual data about objects. Putting them in various situations and calculating where it can be used. Though my idea and the research has little to do with each other but I read it the next morning and barely understood some of the maths but I loved the Idea presented in the text.
I currently reside in India and dont mind relocating.
TL:DR; I have a new passion for machine learning and AI but not sure of what path should I follow and I need your opinions or lifestory or something that might help me out.
Thanks
