Hi everyone! I am from the USA and Bolivia, so I speak English and Spanish well. I want to practice my Spanish more because even though I can speak and understand basic day-to-day things, I am not very good at thinking and speaking about complex topics in Spanish. I am also wanting to learn and practice French. I was in Cameroon as a Peace Corps volunteer from 2019 to 2020. My French is still pretty bad. I think I am an intermediate low speaker (B1?).

    Maybe try: "I think one should starting learning a language by first learning the alphabet."

    cover letter for Ph.D. position application (part 1)

    Dear Dr. Firstname Lastname, (Does the professor have a Ph.D.? If so, put Dr. in front of their first name).

    My name is CZ and I am a current graduate student at (full name of university, and location) majoring in computational
    engineering (robotics). My research interests are focused on computer vision, including not
    only traditional geometrical and statistical methods, but also learning-based methods.

    As part of my master thesis I implemented a 3D reconstruction method combining
    Multi-View Stereo and deep generative models. Instead of extracting features, I use VAE-GAN
    at the feature extraction phase so that less high level features will get lost. The proposed
    method has improved the baseline model greatly and has shown pretty good performances on
    indoor scene reconstruction. On top of that, I have also jointly implemented a stair detection
    algorithm for robot trajectory planning. This project helped me get familiar with non-linear
    optimization and different 3D representation forms like point cloud and TSDF map. Moreover,
    I designed and implemented a new approach for camera calibration as a team member, which
    is more efficient and advantageous than traditional methods.

    Besides researcher projects, I also have good machine learning skills. I completed several
    machine leaning, deep learning, and computer vision courses at TU Da and got very good scores.
    Moreover, I also completed 7 different machine learning courses on Coursera, an online learning
    platform, to improve my theoretical and practical skills.

    I am enthusiastic and motivated to do research in academia. My bachelor and master theses
    are both research-oriented. After finishing my bachelor thesis I published three journal
    papers about vehicle engineering. My tutor (university advisor?) and I are currently formulating a paper based on
    the result of my master thesis. These experiences have helped me get into the research world and I
    personally enjoy the whole research process. I think it is very exciting to go deep into a
    research area and contribute to the whole research community.

    During my current research
    internship in Munich, I have implemented a project about data shift in visual perception model
    in autonomous driving to make robuster models. I think the proposed Ph.D. positions at (name of the university you are applying to) are
    highly related to this. For example, in Bayesian deep learning the parameters are not specific,
    but instead obey statistical distributions. By sampling the parameters, Bayesian deep neural
    networks are more like generative approaches instead of discriminative approaches, which can
    be more potential to successfully deal with edge cases in many problems.

    Thank you for your consideration.
    Sincerely,
    Your name.

    Our uninteresting, poor life

    What if tomorrow you find yourself a completely different person, with a different face, with fair hair instead of dark hair, and much younger, nicer and richer? Just imagine: you wake up, you approach your mirror and suddenly see there someone else! This stuns you, and you rub your eyes, shake your head to drive these hallucinations away, but they stay with you. What would you do?

    It's a shame and it is boring that our world is so predictable and invariable. It forces people to write books like "Alice in Wonderland" or "Harry Potter"; some people can endure the pain, but I can't stand the banality of this world. When we look up and see the starry sky, it clearly shows us the mystery of the Universe. However, our day-to-day life hides and obscures everything that might have something interesting about it. How can we live so poorly?

    Español - entrada en el cuaderno #1 - 1/8/20 Hola a todos. Es la primera vez que escribo aquí en iTalki. Será una entrada corta ya que es solamente de prueba. Quiero escribir sobre temas más complejas más adelante. A la comunidad de iTalki: no sean tímidos! Busco su critica constructiva en la ortografía pero también en la estructura de las oraciones - hay una manera más fluida para expresar el punto que quiero hacer? Soy de los EEUU y de Bolivia, pero no practico mucho mi español aquí en los EEUU. Deseo obtener mejor fluidez. Gracias por leer. Les deseo un buen día o noche!
