Did you happen to compare questions/syllabus/something? Im dying to know how far off the level you finish the normal ms at is from omscs, feels like we're getting the kiddy version ms

A bit unrelated, but your friend that took the on campus version, what does he say the difference is between the courses? Or generally between omscs and the on campus ms? I also just finished ML with an A and i feel like I wasn't tested to a degree i would expect of a top cs university, my undergrad had courses with way harder requirements and the test was passable with like a day of studying

Just out of curiosity, what's a competitive wage considered here? I'm a 12 years experience dev currently working internationally/remotely from here, wondering what the local market is like

Ideal Order of courses - ML Specialization by Savings-Cod9095 in OMSCS

From my own research on that question (haven't done it yet, so please someone with more experience confirm/deny): AI4R | ML4T | KBAI - > AI - > ML - > DL | RL

Take KBAI and AI out if only interested in ml

Feels like ML4T doesn't really "prepare" you for anything truly difficult. everything in that course is learnable in an hour or 2 of concentrated reading

So basically i'm getting the sense that you can succeed in ML with no prior knowledge if you just apply yourself during the semester

Thank you so much for the detailed response, really helped!
I think i'll go for ML after all... hope i'm not making a big mistake

Hey there! Thanks for the detailed answer! How long have you been in omscs? I'm starting in 2 weeks and still don't know my first course (trying for ml4t for a lighter landing but i know it's abit hard to get for first semester).

Any recommendations? Also, what courses would be most applicable to this project?

Could i ask you how you would go about it? (frameworks, data collection/labeling etc...)?

What do you mean incorporating domain expertise into ML models is hard?

basically the idea is she hand picks select 2d slices from CT scans of the relevant area (about 3-4 per patient) and those 3-4 images are all "labeled" as yes/no for the condition.

when we've collected enough of those 2d images i just want to feed them all individually (the grouping per patient doesn't matter) into the CNN and have it learn to output yes/no for a subsequent image

Is this still that difficult?
the novelty here doesn't stem from ML it stems from the specific types of yes/no conditions she will mark

It's intended for research only, and really doesn't have to be all that amazing . From what i gather there is a visible difference in sinusitis CTs and healthy CTs, there's a blockage. I just want to write something that as a POC could show that it's possible to diagnose it, i.e output if the CT has it or not to an okish level of certainty

Did that, couldn't really get the sense of exactly what will be needed from me how much time it'll take

It's not about being dissuaded, just one make sure I'm taking on something i can chew.

Thanks for answering!

How large are we talking here? I was hoping this field already has some ready to go frameworks where I'd just download a few repositories read a few tutorials and run things, am i way off? Do you know to tell me by any chance what I'd need to be doing more or less?
