If I want to get a PhD in Machine Learning and become an AI researcher.
Should I get a degree in Math or Computer Science?
The university I'm applying two gave me two offers
One was Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
the other Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

lol who's the woman? diversity hire much? didn't know they were cucked back in Eisenstein's time.

>> No.9510762

Well it's pretty obvious that if you wan't to be an AI researcher, you should take the Artifficial intelligence course.
I mean they'd teach you everything necessary, so don't worry.
Also good luck!

It was a joint honors course. When I said AND it wasn't a new course

Choose what you like. What you actually really need in ML is a strong knowledge in probability and statistical concepts. the other math and CS kbowledge are pretty basic (calculus, linear algebra, neural networks, algorithm)

>> No.9510825

I'd say do maths then teach yourself some CS.

Depends, do you want to write code or do proofs.

A lot of CS PhDs suck at writing code, they do theoretical work.

Since you say you want to go to grad school, why not take a joint honors in Mathematics and Computer Science. This will give you a broad but very good amount of skill and theory that you can later on use to specialize in AI since it will pretty much intersect both subjects.

Math + CompSci BSc (major+minor combo)
then PhD in CompSci

Despite all the fad and hype, ai and machine learning are just basic CS and some math, mostly.

Just start by doing simple thing. Also, get into a CS school, or a job - even better.

im a msc student in compsci. I wish i did at least a minor or double major in math, it would've helped sooooo much.

If you want to go into academia, a good math fundamental is a must have because lots of your colleagues will be from other departments as well not just compsci.

This. Ive studied at >>9511865 this one, and without math modules, I would not be able to understand ml technics. Tho still cant get a job, either I am too white mals, or ai was that much overhyped.

Or maybe you just suck.

You shouldve known that AI is hot shit in academia but in industry it is meh.

Literally can't tell if this is poking fun at anti-SJW hysteria or if poster is this much of a dirty pleb, but that's Madame Marie Curie: the only person to receive Nobel Prizes in both Chemistry and Physics.
