Apply for research internship roles . That might help , narrow down ya research topic , get acquainted with skillset like ml dl nlp pt python , get some kaggle ranking most importantly you need to exhibit research aptitude to professors

I already graduated so not sure if I can still do such (I'm in the US already).

I do have kaggle and I do try looking into such in my spare time.

See my reply to another comment, most of the roles I've applied to are either insanely competitive or for other fields like economics.

Applied science internship, research assistant @ ivy leagues . First you need to speak to a professor via email presenting ya portfolio that how your research under his supervision will provide value to him , for that you need to research papers publication as evidence & then if professor agrees to advise to you , go thru the formalities. If you want to work with anyone its two way street it needs to benfit both the people often called WIN-WIN situation. Consider yourself lucky being in US a land of opportunities for STEM . Good luck

Competition is there , you need to prove you are competent in either way . Speak to those who have done phd in CS understand perspectives most importantly if you have or develop research aptitude you dont need a phd degree 5 yrs in school would be waste of time. MS with thesis should suffice , in US there are lot of applied scientist roles which take undergrads . The country i come from has just 5-10% opportunities in research compared to US & salary is horrible

Kaggle is for engineers quiet honestly. Its not meant for researchers
