The central figure of this interview graduated from the Suleiman Demirel University<\/a>, and in 2017 won the competition<\/a> of Sh. Yessenov Foundation and did a three-month internship at the Center of Automation Research<\/a> of the University of Maryland. What experience has the guy from Usharal while working in one of the most modern laboratories of the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why did you choose Information Systems<\/a> as your major in the University?
\n<\/strong>There are lots of specialties for those who love mathematics and physics. Therefore when it was my turn to choose, it was quite difficult. But I knew clearly that I wanted something new, not related to science, considering it boring. I was looking for a specialty where I could apply my knowledge of mathematics in practice. And it is thanks to the chosen specialty that “something new” appeared in my life, something that I have not encountered before. However, having digging deeper, I see that the world of computer science is able to combine all the sciences. So you can\u2019t go anywhere without science.<\/p>\n

To win the \u00a0competition for an internship: was it simple as pie for you?
\n<\/strong>Well, it wasn’t so much easy to win the contest<\/a><\/strong>. It was hard for me to wait for the results of two rounds, but even harder was the interview \u2014 I felt complete disorientation. I didn’t know how to act and what to say. My fellow competitors from other universities felt the same. It seems to me that the moment that I concentrated and understood \u2014 it is necessary to be myself, to behave simply and to feel as usual \u2014 played a role. I think this is very important.<\/p>\n

How was your internship?
\n<\/strong>I worked in a group of Professor Larry S. Davis<\/a><\/strong>. The center for automation research is engaged in projects associated with computer vision and machine learning. The purpose of training was to create a neural network that would recognize weather conditions, humidity and time using a photo of the area and its Metadata<\/a><\/strong> (i.e. information from the image itself \u2014 geolocation, date of survey, focus, etc.).). I was specifically engaged in the creation of a network that could recognize and calculate the angle of the sun from photographs of people’s faces. With the help of azimuth and time, we find out the geolocation<\/a><\/strong> of the image. At the end of the training we came to the creation of a full-scale neural network, which determined the angle of inclination of the sun with a minimum error.\u00a0 In the laboratory, I met at first glance strange, but very interesting people. My Professor and I have a very good relationship, and we are still in touch. Moreover, I managed to go to the Coldplay<\/a><\/strong> concert in Washington\u2014 it was unforgettable, for me and for another 55,000 spectators who were present and sang in chorus with Chris Martin, the band’s soloist. And, of course, I visited almost all the museums and attractions of the American capital.<\/p>\n

What next?
\n<\/strong>The entire academic 2017-2018 I devoted to the study of Computer Vision<\/a><\/strong>, Deep Learning<\/a><\/strong> and their mathematical component. I completed a thesis associated with recognition of logos in the image. I entered Nazarbayev University for a master’s degree in computer science. Upon completion of my studies, I plan to enroll to PhD program at the University of Toronto<\/a><\/strong> or Swiss ETH<\/a><\/strong> in computer science and mathematics. Now I work as a data analyst in Petrel AI. We apply Deep and Machine Learning<\/a><\/strong> to address the problems of the industry.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
