So i'm currently in my first year of computer engineering, and killing all of my courses except for chemistry, don't really practice it at all, i'm at a B+ or something.
I originally wanted to go into computer engineering because I found cryptography and networking really cool and wanted to go into that. But i'm beginning to find machine learning and AI very cool as well.
Can someone fill me in on how different computer science and computer engineering will be later on? My university offers a computer science degree with a specialization in data science and i'm really considering switching into computer science but i'm not sure.
I really enjoy physics and math, and i'm a little behind in coding, but i really enjoy it. I only know the basics of java (we are currently doing python).
Can someone fill me in on what I should be focusing on if i wanted to go into machine learning/ data sceince. Like what sort of math/physics/programming languages I would need, and would it be worth it to switch into computer science?
This is what i was thinking of doing (tell me if this sounds stupid).
I was planning on reading this textbook amazon.ca/Artificial-Intelligence-Modern-Approach-3rd/dp/0136042597, and extensively learn Java, Python and C on my free time. Would this in any way help improve my pathway to machine learning? Sorry for the faggotry of text, i'm just sort of lost.
why haven't you killed yourself yet you retarded faggot nigger?

>>f******* Why the homophobia?

why the fuck are you so homophobic? don't write that shit you idiot
literally gave me PTSD
Oliver Barnes
>cringe Not an argument.
Landon Williams
I have to assume you're too ignorant to continue this conversation in an educational manner. Would you rather I just call you stupid instead of ignorant? Because you're acting pretty stupid right now. And mad.
You do realize that since you've been bated from your normal shit posts to actually taking the time to write shit out, it means that I've won the troll battle you started in the first place, right? Since you failed at your pathetic attempt to shit post like the troll you are I figured I'd give you a taste of your own medicine.
I'm glad you realize that you've been bested.

ML and AI is much, much, much more math and stats than CS. You'll want to study multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and as much statistics as you can learn. All of the cool kids use Python for ML, which is a brainlet programming language that you can pick up in days. Good luck!
Charles Long
if you can learn to program in python in days why does it take 4 years for cs students to learn to program?
Lincoln Cook
(You)
Alexander Turner
>ML and AI is much, much, much more math and stats than CS no, it's really not. >statistics will be largely time wasted. statistics is entirely different from ML, and the few statistical techniques you'll need would be taught/refreshed in any ML class/book. >All of the cool kids use Python for ML not unless you plan on working for a startup or won't enter the field for another 4 years. OP should start with R, since most older projects he'll encounter will be written in it and there's no way in hell some recent graduate is going to be handed a large scale ML project to start from scratch.
in short, don't listen to this faggot. he's only pretending to know what he's talking about.

"CE" is basically CS+EE mixed. What you concentrate more is your choice, depending on what electives you pick. You will know more about computers than the average CS. You will know more about computation than the average EE. It prepares you most of the widest variety of jobs.
Julian Evans
>It prepares you most of the widest variety of jobs. jack-of-all-trades employees haven't been favorable since like the 1930. Specialization >>> diversification always, mostly.
Carter Baker
>implying cs grads actually learn to program at all Just ask any tech interviewer at any company how many fresh cs grads are actually competent programmers and they'll burst out laughing
Aaron Stewart
Hmm, so up to what point should stop with R and switch over to Python. I have some computing statistics course in my second year, so i'll prob pick up a textbook and read that.
Nolan Morgan
>will be largely time wasted. statistics is entirely different from ML Every ML books I read, the contents are basically 90% statistics and probability. But they are in "Bayesian" style.
Aiden Parker
A solid ML education begins with a solid foundation in probability theory and statistics
John Rivera

Nolan Morgan
This. It's better to do double degree in CS and Statistics then go to ML or datascience Ms.
Do you even know ML/AI? I was planning on hopping in today and the majority of it is fucking math that you need to know before getting started. Once you get the Math down the rest is a cake walk from what I've heard.

>dude just initialize a few objects in pytorch and run for loop >we wuz math n stats n shiet

Do you have a disability that prevents you from functioning socially? I don't see any other reasons you would make a post as abhorrent as that.
Robert Butler
Do you have a disability that prevents you from functioning non-homophobically? I don't see any other reasons you would make a post as abhorrent as that.

i know grade 12 english teacher was tough, he was a transgender (female -> male) and super sjw. made us write a lot of essays on blm and feminism no joke. fucked me over, i should have taken it in summer school.

Isaac Brooks
daily reminder that turing's contributions to computer science are invalid because he was gay and gays are incapable of seeing the beauty in gods creation
Austin Edwards
If you want to learn to code do a physics or related degree. We do a lot of simulation coding with python that's good exposure.
Alexander Gomez
this.
Asher Fisher
didn't say anything about being a jack of all trades. you don't specialize in fucking undergrad
Jack Diaz

damn this thread is awful. do compE if you want to know how computers work
Jackson James
Do CS and Math OP Computers are gay why the homophobia and racism?
Owen Morales

CEs have ~15k higher starting salary on average, at least in Canada. still, not sure if it justifies the workload (30hrs class/week)
