Looking back at my own PhD defense and those of former colleagues in graduate school, I remember that the questions went on and on until the candidate said "I don't know." At that point one of the professors remarked "If you had said that half an hour ago, we would have been finished." You need to show a mastery of your chosen research but the faculty always want to remind you that you don't know everything. On a more serious note, by the time you are ready to defend your dissertation you should be the leading expert on your chosen topic. If you aren't then you are in for a difficult time.
besides acing a PhD defense, what should a candidate align himself with to have a great PhD submission. what are some great and impactful advice's you could give ?
Funny 😂 99% of the time the examination committee members don’t understand fully what you have done because you are much better than them in your field of research. You are an expert in what you're doing. In your case, I believe the questions went on and on until they got so stupid that the candidate could not answer them 😂.
@@jackyoung9691 The questions weren't stupid, but they slowly diverged from the main topic of my friend's dissertation until it wasn't really in his area. All the faculty was congratulatory afterwards with no hard feelings on either side. They were just making a point.
I've been interested in machine learning as of the time in my undergraduate studies. really liked that this popped up in my recommended. i'm now seeing how a PhD student presents work in Machine Learning and am hopeful for that pathway in my life in the future!
The mark of a great technical communicator is when the uninitiated (ahem, moi) hear their presentation and then say to themselves, "Gee, that's not so hard, *I* could do that!" Joel Spolsky, a software developer writes and presents the same way, so lucidly that groundlings are able to get an actual glimpse into the dark magic of the modern world.
Wow! Excellent, exceptional research! Kudos to you for such a vast coverage of the body of knowledge in this domain! Love and hugs 🤗 from a final year PhD Scholar in Cognitive Psychology from India!
Excellent work and presentation! You were flawless in your delivery and tackling questions. Also, you make it seem effortless by developing a sort of natural, progressive understanding of these complex topics. There is a lot to learn here for a graduate student like myself. Thank you so much for posting this.
One of the things I learned from this presentation was that Jacques thoroughly enjoyed the entire research work and was eager to share her passion with her audience. Also, being a great communicator helped her a lot.
Wow ! What a great presentation! It is not my research area but I like the way she defended her research. Excellent communication! Hats off! I will definitely inspire from this presentation to prepare my speech for my thesis defense in March 2023.
@@ZidaneTribal93 amazing 😍! As I have already published in top tier journals in my research area, I successfully defended my thesis. The jury gave me very honorable mention with committee praises.
Dear Natasha Jaques, I’m fortunate enough to attend your defense and was thoroughly impressed by your exceptional presentation skills, as well as the depth and breadth of your knowledge on the subject matter. Additionally, your defense was truly extraordinary and one of the coolest I have ever witnessed. The way you presented your research with such clarity, precision, and passion was truly inspiring. Your ability to engage the audience and communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner is a testament to your exceptional academic skills and expertise.
I’m a high school student who clicked on this presentation out of sheer curiosity. With absolutely no idea or expectation as to what I would learn, I can absolutely say that Natasha flawlessly delivered her thesis defence in such a clear way, that I was able to grasp the ideas and concepts of her thesis. Very well done and very inspiring.
In your dictionary of counter are you playing a defensive structure meaning you see into the accident or after the accident happens then you start learning some of that you have to continuously put it in place to continuously learn about it
In that concept thinking of agnostic and argumentative is that cypher or something pretty similar played inside out or back and forth looking at the name concepts or alternating the rotation of inner heat particles then stealing somebody's barcode and blueprints or even a lottery concepts of when lost structures

wow, i am so impressed by you. im "only" doing my bachelor's degree, but i feel inspired to continue my studies in AI and machine learning after seeing your wonderful presentation. thank you -debbie from the netherlands
Hi, Natasha I watched your presentation and thank you very much for sharing it. I read in your introduction that you can access invisible emotional signals, so I was wondering if some kind of signal combined with the content of the exchange could be used to infer if the other person is lying, etc. Why is this question being asked? I've been doing research using natural language processing recently and with the development of generative AI technology, it's having an impact on the way we work worldwide. Remote working in corporate recruiting has become a nice spot for companies, then recruiting can be done at any time from geography to any country around the globe. Thinking how to develop a model of an intelligent interviewer using the method you mentioned to refer to the HR department by outputting a trustworthy report. Hope you can reply if possible, thanks.
Remarkable the number of actual advantages to gain from ever expanding world of AI. Which is rapidly changing our communication patterns, ways and means of interaction among the public. With a bit of luck us homo sapiens shall remain in total charge of our own faculties for a foreseeable to prevent any cyborg revolution.
For the people outside academia, usually there are a maximum of 20-30 audience in a defence.. Most of them are from the same lab or colleagues.... Here the room is not only housefull, but have so many views on CZcams.... It's something else!
do you think the network of Alexas' can be trained to communicate among themselves in order to better understand the needs of their individual human interactions.
45 minutes is crazy. In Germany it's usually just 20-30 minutes, we barely can afford to crack a joke at this time, since the work of 5-7 years is summerized in this short period of time, which is almost imposible. But you made it look easy :)

I am slightly confused, in some web pages i see WHAT ELSE MOTIVATES PEOPLE and in others WHAT ELSE MOTIVATE PEOPLE......What is correct?
u go girl, impressive presentation
Our defense in the UK was by an external and internal examiner in a viva. It was a closed session.
It should be Effective artifical intelligence?
For the people outside academia, usually there are a maximum of 20-30 audience in a defence.. Most of them are from the same lab or colleagues....
Here the room is not only housefull, but have so many views on CZcams.... It's something else!
Very good defense.
Good Job; congratulations.
Is there manipulation of data to include non-IRB approved deprivation?
nice presentation, hopefullty i will continue my master degree.
Very nice work.
Awesome!
Thnkyou So much!.
Some people were just blessed with brains... I didn't understand a shit but I'm just a bus driver...
You do an important job, I can’t drive a bus.
Bus driving also takes brains. Don't look down on yourself and your occupation in comparison to others
Your role is important too.
She wants your job..ofcourse using artificial intelligence
Right????? I wish I had a cool brain like this hood for her😊
