What do you do if your Data Science internship is highly competitive?
If you are up for a competitive data science internship, I see two choices: 1. Compete. The best way I know how to compete in Data Science is to do well in Kaggle competitions and other data science/machine learning competitions. I also suggest reaching out to previous interns who have been successful when applying to the position. 2. Don't compete. Head to greener and easier pastures. How competitive you want to be in your career is a fundamental choice that you will need to make again and again. It's ok to not want to be competitive.

Dynamic Hill Climbing: Overcoming the limitations of optimization techniques
Second Turkish Symposium
This paper describes a novel search algorithm, called dynamic hill climbing, that borrows ideas from genetic algorithms and hill climbing techniques. Unlike both genetic
and hill climbing algorithms, dynamic hill climbing has the ability to dynamically
change its coordinate frame during the course of an optimization. Furthermore, the
algorithm moves from a coarse-grained search to a ne-grained search of the function
space by changing its mutation rate and uses a diversity-based…This paper describes a novel search algorithm, called dynamic hill climbing, that borrows ideas from genetic algorithms and hill climbing techniques. Unlike both genetic
and hill climbing algorithms, dynamic hill climbing has the ability to dynamically
change its coordinate frame during the course of an optimization. Furthermore, the
algorithm moves from a coarse-grained search to a ne-grained search of the function
space by changing its mutation rate and uses a diversity-based distance metric to ensure that it searches new regions of the space. Dynamic hill climbing is empirically
compared to a traditional genetic algorithm using De Jong's well-known ve function
test suite [4] and is shown to vastly surpass the performance of the genetic algorithm,
often nding better solutions using only 1% as many function evaluations.Other authors -
