Key Points

  • A Reddit thread asks invited participants to share their backgrounds as part of the next stage of the ETH AI PhD Fellowship selection process.
  • The questions focus on typical candidate profiles, including university, academic field, publication counts (especially first-author papers), and the conferences where work appeared.
  • It also asks whether candidates obtained recommendation letters from prominent researchers to better understand what the fellowship values.
  • The post frames the discussion as an attempt to infer the common traits of invited applicants rather than to announce any new program change.

Hi, for those who were invited to the symposium as the next stage of the ETH AI PhD Fellowship, would you mind sharing your profile?

I'm curious about:

  1. University
  2. Field
  3. Number of publications, especially first-author ones, and at which conferences
  4. Whether you had recommendation letters from well-known researchers

I am just trying to get a better sense of the typical profile of invited candidates.
