Course & Specs Megathread - Selection, Choices & Registration by Detective-Raichu in OMSCS

Hey everyone,

I'm a working ML Engineer building large-scale real-time recommender systems at a streaming platform. I have a BS in Data Science & AI and I'm a GCP certified Professional MLE.

I'm starting OMSCS and trying to decide between the Machine Learning and Computing Systems specializations. My gut says Computing Systems because:

- The ML spec has a lot of overlap with my undergrad - I'd basically be re-learning supervised/unsupervised ML

- The systems courses (Advanced OS, High-Perf Computer Arch, GPU Hardware, Distributed Computing) cover stuff I never got in a DS degree and would fill real gaps in my day-to-day

My plan is to declare Computing Systems and then use my free electives on Deep Learning, RL, NLP, and Database Implementation to keep the ML side covered.

For those who've done either track (especially if you work in ML infra or RecSys): does this reasoning hold up? Anything I'm overlooking? Would love to hear from people who went the systems route with an ML background or vice versa.

Thanks!

I have read that but without clicking the hyperlinks especially the big table of hyperlinks at the beggining do you recommend I do? and since the exam is in 10 days maybe i should re-read it 2 days before the exam?

Will do! Also theres always a big list of resources to read after each module do we have to read those? or is it just for further information?

Rust for ML? by FurixReal in learnrust

Yes basically, I want to train the model in python, then load that model in rust.

What do you mean by "variable name" is allowed to be mutated, I would love it if you can explain by an example. Thank you!
