I am currently pursuing my masters in CS with an inclination in machine learning from a reasonably well reputed university. With a reasonable background in AI, I wish to take up a summer internship in a related field.
Could people here guide me to apply to places they know for a fact employ machine learning techniques? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks...
The big guns like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are sure bets. Social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn also have large ML teams and probably have decent internship programs.<p>Many startups also have similar interships - try <a href="http://ventureloop.com" rel="nofollow">http://ventureloop.com</a>
Obvious choices are big firms with machine learning research groups: Microsoft Research, Yahoo Research, (Google, but I've had a poorer personal experience getting people from there to tell me what they're doing)<p>You could search for funds and consultancies using machine learning. They are out there.<p>Check out the sponsors of major machine learning conferences (e.g. ICML, NIPS).
I have a friend who was an intern with Siemens in computer vision while preparing for Ph.D. programs in machine learning. I would guess that other companies that build medical imaging tools have similar divisions.
great replies guys... some very good pointers, especially ventureloop was a great find for me.
thanks for the inputs again.
probably another area for others interested in the field are domains on finance (like imurray suggested). i found

but no internships, only jobs.
