[Discussion] Choosing between two research labs for the summer • r/MachineLearning

My goal is to go the PhD route in machine learning with a focus in biotechnology applications. Currently I am working at my campus hospital doing data analysis and machine learning on cognitive and EEG data. Over the summer there is an opportunity for me to continue my work there or join a dedicated machine learning lab at my university. On one hand, the problems I get to solve at the hospital are really interesting and there is a possibility I can publish if I continue working there. But on the other hand I'm not quite sure the level of machine learning done is to the same extent as what goes on in a dedicated machine learning lab.
