Ruthless Prioritization and Flexibility in Research

In research, it is crucial to have engineering skills to iterate experiments quickly, interpret results, and communicate findings.

The best researchers have a simplicity bias and the ability to try experiments rapidly, which accelerates the research cycle and separates successful researchers in the empirical field of machine learning.
