I am an undergraduate and have been doing ML/NLP/DL/RL for past two years and was interested in applying for master’s. I wish to pursue PhD (in NLP/CV) at some point, so was hoping to join thesis based research programmes. I was hoping if someone could suggest good programmes (relatively less competetive). I have spent an entire week on csrankings.org and have shortlisted few colleges. Please don’t suggest obvious ones (GaTech, berkeley etc.). I want to work under a really good advisor (more publications and citations) and where the chances of me working them is more and environment is purely research focussed (like MILA for ex.). I am looking for these programmes in US/Canada. If anyone has some prior experience with applications or a good idea, please give suggestions. I know it’s subjective, but still a general idea would be helpful.
