Respected Seniors,
Please help me in shortlisting universities based on my profile for Masters in Computer Science with a special focus on Artificial Intelligence.
Undergrad Major: Electronics &Telecommunication
CGPA: 7.4/10
GRE: 322 (Q-168 | V-154 |AWA-3)
TOEFL: 111(R: 30, L: 30, S:23, W: 28)
Institution : SGSITS, Indore
Relevant Projects:
1) Fault Detection in Antenna Array Using Artificial Neural Networks:
2) An approximate solution to TSP using Simulated Annealing
and some minor projects related to Neural Nets & Evolutionary Computing
Publications:
[All related to evolutionary computing]
1)Gupta, Himanshu, et al. "How effective is Black Hole Algorithm?." Contemporary Computing and Informatics (IC3I), 2016 2nd International Conference on. IEEE, 2016.
2) Gupta, Himanshu, et al. "Design of linear phase low pass FIR filter using restart particle swarm optimization." Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI), 2016 International Conference on. IEEE, 2016.
3)Gupta, S.K., Gupta, H., Arora, S., Nayak, P. and Shrivastava, T., 2016, December. Efficient Initialization of Particle Swarm Optimization Using Low Discrepancy Sequence. In International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (pp. 440-449). Springer, Cham.
All the above publications are in International Conferences. 1 and 2 are first authored & 3 is a second authored paper.
Work Experience: As of now 16 months as Java Developer in Amdocs DVCI
MOOC's taken:
ML: Andrew NG
ML University of Washington: Ongoing
Algorithms: Stanford
Software Architecture: Ongoing
Extra-Curricular:
1) Organizing various technical workshops under Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP, Phase-II) under AICTE.
2)Core committee member for our TechFest
3) Member of NSS Core Team of our college
4) Participated and won many quizzes in colleges/school
5) Member of College Chess Team
My Initial Shortlist of Universities:
0) CMU (MS CS)
1) GaTech (MS CS)
2) UPenn (Confused between MCIT & MS )
3) UC San Diego(MS CS)
4)Columbia (MS CS)
5)UC Irvine (MS CS)
6) UMCP(MS CS)
7)Purdue (West Laff.)
8) U Minnesota Twin Cities (MS CS)
9) SUNY, Buffalo(MS CS)
10)Indiana University, Bloomington(MS CS)
11)Northeastern
12)UIUC
13)ASU
14)TAMU
15)Univesity of Chicago
16)USC
Please comment on the above list (considering my non-CS background). Also, suggest to add or drop any university.
Also please advise on how should I frame my major change in SOP.
Thanks & Regards
