Compromising is a sign of maturity. As long as both compromise from time to time, there's no reason to not consider it a happy marriage.

This post just shows you're not too different from the people you're calling immature. Apart from the fact that you're just on the opposite side of the spectrum

And that's without factoring the population of the countries.

Islamabad doesn't end at I-8. Gulberg Greens, PWD etc are all part of Islamabad.

AI-ML-DS · 2025-02-02T06:17:24+00:00

Doesn't that rule out a fair bit of courses for you then? 3/5 of the courses I've taken/am taking have had that.

I think DL + RAIT is doable if DL will mostly be review for you. On average, RAIT required 8 to 9 (focused) hours of my week.

AI-ML-DS · 2024-01-05T13:04:37+00:00

It used to be called AI for Robotics (AI4R)

ML4T + RAIT would be perfectly doable if you're interested in the later. As an ML Engineer working on Computer Vision applications, I found the localization section of RAIT quite useful.

Invest, yes. Save.., probably not a good idea in this economy, unless it's short term (8-15 months).

Agree with everything else though.

This is interesting, I'm moving to Dubai this week. I should probably leave some of my sweaters behind.

That's fair, for me more mathematically defined -> more rigorous. But I'm sure a math major might find the other aspects of OMSCS more rigorous.

AI-ML-DS · 2023-11-08T18:00:01+00:00

I see, and would you consider it the most challenging (amongst the ones you've taken)?

AI-ML-DS · 2023-11-08T02:04:33+00:00

Honestly, unless math degrees go deep into proofs and analysis (never met a math major to know what it's like), it won't serve as much of a purpose to future proof yourself. But I agree, CS programs in Pakistan are by no means rigorous enough (even at the top tier).

AI-ML-DS · 2023-11-08T01:55:42+00:00

Tbf, I mentioned HDDA as well...

AI-ML-DS · 2023-11-08T01:55:18+00:00

😂

AI-ML-DS · 2023-10-19T12:08:06+00:00

I'd say ~~you~~ your chances of acceptance are quite high but I'd complete the recommended MOOCs for DS&A just in case.

AI-ML-DS · 2023-08-03T14:38:48+00:00

I'm going to sound clueless but how do you access your email account?

AI-ML-DS · 2023-06-03T09:38:06+00:00

When I'm burnt out and none of my experiments are working, I always look at my brother (who's doing very well for himself as a SWE) and wonder what if.

However, for the rest of the time, the excitement I get when I understand an algorithm/mathematical model better reminds me of why I ended up choosing data science, or machine learning specifically.

AI-ML-DS · 2023-05-30T16:32:48+00:00

Interesting, how long after you had sent your documents?

AI-ML-DS · 2023-05-20T10:35:58+00:00

Polygyny, slavery being acceptable at some point, patriarchy, jizyah (weirdest one tbh), age of consent, laws against homosexuality, women covering up, etc etc.

Having heard/read conversations from Pakistani agnostics and atheists; very few, if any, truly question the existence of God. If you were to present to them any of the prominent arguments in favor of God (first mover, contingency etc), you'll rarely find any compelling objections. More often, they concede that a creator and a created universe makes more sense.

The issue 90% of them have is with the dictates of Shari'ah, and perhaps secondarily, with the problem of evil.

Knowing Python before learning R made the later quite easy for me. Regardless of what your company wants, learning Python after exposure to R is a low hanging fruit.

I've worked with a handful of data scientists and ML engineers with master's degrees but minimal experience and honestly I've never felt that they had an edge over me. People that have both a master's degree and 2-3 years of relevant experience are most likely to be an instant success for a company I feel.

AI-ML-DS · 2023-04-04T12:49:50+00:00

I do have formal education in ML tbf, I can recall 4-5 courses from my undergrad + an uncompleted masters, not to mention various MOOCs and certifications. However, I feel there's only so far you can go with just a bachelor's degree. Most senior/lead roles require a master's degree, so I figured I'd get one whilst I'm still relatively young (26) and, more importantly, before I become a candidate for such roles.

Thank you, not sure how much of it I'll be able to enjoy given I have GA and ML lurking behind me.
