As I am not a contractor or affiliated with MSR in any way, I can back you up. In my field MSR is light years ahead of Google when it comes to research impact. Google has been gaining a stronger presence and they are generally seen as more

Pah, the people I know in bio-informatics use Haskell, I do research on language and use Python, C and Coffeescript. Honestly, science is more diverse than high-performance simulations of the universe...

I agree that the hyper-parameter selection is a huge pain, personally though, I am more familiar with the work of Snoek et al. [1] from NIPS in December last year. He even distributes a neat Python package that will perform Bayesian optimis

There is a re-make underway and has been for about two years now [1]. They are making fair progress and I like the graphics. I think their main mistake may be not going for a brower-based version, then again, if the Net Storm legacy lives o

I am going on a ledge here, but I would say as with most societies I know, getting a science and/or engineering degree is a safer bet at a job. It also has the benefit that there is less of a chance of major retraining if you join a more "m
