In my lab, we try to focus on the science and less on applicative deep learning, of course it has its uses and we develop 'fashionable' deep learning with some students, but I think the value of a PhD remains in the path taken. It's all that you learn doing it, it is not just knowledge, it's the scientific method, social skills, learning to communicate science. A PhD is a personal path, an experience in life that changes it profoundly, I hope that those students will be able to handle any kind of future issues, not just a very niche applicative aspect of deep learning.
