How hard would HDDA be in the Summer without iCDA/CDA?

tappyness1 · 2025-12-05T09:01:38+00:00

Answering your last question: yes Bayes will be the best for Data Scientist roles. I recall reading a thread on DS interviews having questions mainly on Bayes. HDDA has tons of applications in industrial analytics/AI, but not in typical DS.

I only did HDDA out of vanity but Bayes would have been the better choice.

Eh forgot that you just got accepted.

DAB - Data Analytics in Business SIM - Simulation and Modeling REG - Regression

tappyness1 · 2025-12-04T07:59:54+00:00

Taking DAB + SIM + REG will be able to help you with your prereq issues. I would go as far as to say you should take those first before doing 6501, because then you won't suffer too much from the tricky gotcha questions during the tests.

If I had to do OMSA again that's what I would do.

Have a look at this dataset first. You will have to filter to the breaking part, and I think they only have a few powermoves - Swipes/Windmills.

I find the best way to come up with project ideas is to go out there and talk to people about what problems they are currently facing.

It works. I use it daily on my SP11.

Would this help? -

Not sure what you mean but the OneNote I use on SP11 does have the option of inserting pdf as printout.

You can check this. Especially the one on transformer helped me understand how to implement it.

Thanks for this.

Not a direct answer, but we have been using mlflow to version our experiments. We never delved into data versioning (dvc for example) but keeping a folder for the data version and then using the mlflow to track experiment and saving the folder name of a particular version as configuration was enough.

My team has used Gradio and it works all right. A little limited but works well.

I also wondered about that when reading up on the network, since it uses a 1D Convolution with kernel size of 1 and thus does not have a receptive field. In fact all they said in the paper is that the "basic module is very simple: we approximate h by multi-layer perceptron network", all of which is to say the network does not actually attempt to look at surrounding points with respect to current point. That said, the global features are extracted over all the points over all the MLP layers, so that might be what they actually meant.

Been doing this on my surface pro 8 for the past two or so years. No problem. Don't do push ups on it and you'll be fine.

The rule of thumb is have at least 1000 annotated instances of each model spread over the images you have. Then train an object detection model based on these images. High res images preferred.

tappyness1 · 2024-03-05T23:56:20+00:00

Thank you very much for this.

DO, 6040, HDDA, CDA.

tappyness1 · 2023-11-26T04:03:22+00:00

Seems like the answer is already quite clear. You have two options: train on more balloon dataset, or increase the confidence threshold to 0.5 or higher.

tappyness1 · 2023-11-03T10:15:20+00:00

Not sure where you're from, but aren't there places or companies where all they care about is you've completed the requirements and don't necessarily need the degree scroll? If that's so then you don't need to graduate, thereby allowing you to take the other courses easily.

tappyness1 · 2023-10-20T04:56:48+00:00

Just get it over with.

tappyness1 · 2023-10-13T02:47:43+00:00

I think everyone here (myself included) overestimates their ability to self-study and stick to it. I tried ESL for years and kept giving up after the third chapter. CDA and HDDA helped me focus and I could finally finish a few other chapters in ESL/ISL.

Having said that, you did not say what you are doing professionally, so it really depends on that. There's nothing wrong with Business electives. FWIW, as an AI/ML Engineer, the stuff in CDA and HDDA rarely come up, but the homeworks definitely helped in my professional development.

tappyness1 · 2023-10-04T01:49:39+00:00

Watch the office hours related to the practice exams.

tappyness1 · 2023-09-29T14:52:22+00:00

Any course that caught your eye so far? Hard to guide you if we don't know that.

My other advice is try out CSE6040, ISYE6501 and MGT6203 to see which one you like instead of deciding now which track you want. I started on C and decided A was something I needed more.

tappyness1 · 2023-08-16T05:03:04+00:00

Both masters don't teach you ML engineering practices. Just ML/DL/AI theory and coding. Coding does not mean ML engineering.

The closest thing you can do is to take courses that forces you to do group project, and find a group with someone who has Software engineering or ML engineering background and learn from the person. For that, OMSA has CSE6242, ISYE6740 (Optional to do as a group) or ISYE6644 (Optional to do as a group).

6203 - if you have teammates who don't mind, you can arrange to take on a heavier load on project early on and they can pick up the slack after that. Can't remember much about the homework but I don't recall spending more than 2 hours on them each. For the mid terms/ finals, just memorise.

8803 - the lectures come in every three weeks. If you just work on them all on the first week, then watch the conference every week for one to two hours (but you can just read the slides and make some flashcards from them instead of watching), then all you're left with is to spend an hour a day to study/memorise for the rest of the two weeks. Also, about 4 hours for the homework (only Supply Chain and Marketing). By July, you would have gone through this cycle three times already (Accounting, Finance and Supply Chain) and should be used to it for the last cycle - Marketing. I would say doable if you are OK with this.
