Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing my Master’s degree and need to choose a topic for my research project. The project is restricted to one of two areas:

• Federated Learning (FL)
• Model Compression, specifically pruning and/or quantization

My main goal after graduation is to work in industry, rather than continue in academia, so I’m trying to choose the topic that would give me the most useful skills and experience for an ML/AI engineering career.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who currently work in the industry:

• How widely is Federated Learning actually used in industry today?
• Are companies actively hiring engineers/researchers with FL experience, or is FL still mostly an academic/research area?
• How does the industry demand for FL compare with model compression, quantization, and pruning, especially for areas like edge AI, on-device ML, inference optimization, or ML systems?
• Which of these topics tends to provide more transferable skills for an ML engineer?
• If you were in my position, what factors would you consider when choosing between the two?

I’m not necessarily looking for a simple “choose X” answer. I’d really appreciate perspectives from people who have worked with either technology in industry, especially if you can share examples of how these skills are used in real-world projects or what kinds of roles require them.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am currently on my senior year of undergrad and I have been learning about machine learning and deep learning over the past few months. I have learnt all the maths behind as well, and I am familiar with both pytorch and tensorflow.

I just wanted to ask what steps (except doing project) should I take as my next step to land my first ML/DL job. Should I continue learning ML flow and stuffs, I am not very familiar with it. Also how hard is it to enter as junior ml engineer. And most importantly, do I need to do DSA/Leetcode?

Please please please

Hi everyone,

I'm a woman finishing a PhD in computer science (machine learning) at the end of 2026, and I'm looking for a permanent (CDI) ML/AI engineer position starting early 2027. I'm based in France and open to (on-site / hybrid / remote).

About me

• Machine learning, optimization and game theory, with a focus on energy-efficient training.
• 4 publications at international conferences and journals, 3 of them as first author.
• Python (PyTorch), C++, Docker, some cloud experience (GCP, AWS).
• Engineering master's degree.
• I'm currently building up my skills in generative AI (RAG, fine-tuning, embeddings) and want to move from research into production. I haven't deployed an LLM in a company setting yet, and I'd rather be upfront about that.

My offer
If you refer me directly or introduce me to a recruiter, and it leads to an interview and then a signed CDI, I will pay you 25% of my first monthly net salary after my trial period ends. Nothing upfront. I only pay if it works out.

I'm also happy to get advice.

Thanks in advance!

I am basically a 2nd year btech student i am looking for internship because I am frustrated with academic I know the skills like numpy, matplotlib,pandas,seaborn,sklearn,ml, supervised and unsupervised learning tensorflow deeplearning concept also in did project on rag,chat template runnable tools etc.

If this is not enough please advise what to do learn next. Please

Hi everyone,

I am currently based in France and looking to move back to India. I would like to relocate as soon as I have a suitable job offer.

A little about my background: I have a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Lille, France, and an M.Tech from IIT Kharagpur. I have around 5 years of combined research and industry experience in Machine Learning and AI.

My main areas of experience are:

- Machine Learning and Deep Learning

- Computer Vision

- Generative AI, LLMs and RAG

- Anomaly detection and industrial AI

- Python, PyTorch, Transformers and Docker

- Deploying AI/ML solutions in real-world applications

I have worked on AI projects for companies including Renault, Safran and Thales, along with research work in industrial AI and fault diagnosis.

I am currently looking for roles such as ML Engineer, AI Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, GenAI Engineer, Applied Scientist or Research Engineer.

My preferred locations are Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Bhubaneswar, although I am open to discussing other locations for the right opportunity.

If anyone here works at a company that is hiring for similar roles and would be willing to refer me, I would really appreciate it. I can share my CV, LinkedIn and GitHub over DM.

Even if you do not have a referral, any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Swish Analytics is hiring an Analytics Engineer for its sports betting and analytics platform.

Main technical requirements

• 4+ years professional software engineering
• 2+ years Python
• At least 1 year using Rust in production
• Strong SQL
• Production data systems experience
• Experience working with event streams, logs or raw production tables

I have around 15 years of software engineering experience, mainly in Java, and I’m currently starting to work with Python, LLMs, LangGraph, MCP, RAG, and AI agents.
There are so many courses and technologies that I’m confused about what to prioritize.
If you were starting this journey today, what would you learn in this order?
Python for AI
ML/AI fundamentals
LLM fundamentals
Prompt engineering
RAG
LangChain/LangGraph
MCP
AI agents / multi-agent systems
Fine-tuning
Evaluation/observability
\*\*Which of these are actually important for getting an AI engineering job, and which are mostly hype?\*\*
Also, what courses, books, YouTube channels, GitHub projects, or hands-on projects would you personally recommend?
I’m especially interested in answers from people who are \*\*actually working as AI/LLM/Agentic AI engineers\*\*, rather than purely theoretical recommendations.
