Tuesday, November 2, 14:00 - Invited Talk: Dr. Richard Zens, Google, "Life of a Research
Scientist."
At some point every student has to decide whether to stay in
academia or whether to work in industry. Often, this
question is answered with simplified statements such as
‘academia is free’, ‘industry is short-sighted’ or similar.
Unfortunately, in real life things are not that simple. As
this question can affect the rest of your life
significantly, it is a good idea to think about it more
deeply.
In this talk, I will give insights in how (machine
translation) research is done at Google and how this
compares to academia. This will cover differences as well as
commonalities of various facets of the life of a researcher.
I will illustrate those with case studies from recent
research projects at Google. In the end, industry versus
academia is a trade-off along several dimensions that are
all worth considering.
