These days it would certainly be much easier to teach students how to use a debugger - most students probably aren't doing their work on mainframes anymore where resources might be limited (anyone else remember getting emails asking you to release your semaphores because the server is running low?), but professors still have to decide which topics are the most important to cover in a limited amount of time.
- OJFord 10y agoEdit: skim-read GP, got the wrong ML. I touched on the PL ML in a type systems course. I can't speak for how common it is though. It's certainly much more likely for someone who takes a course on type systems or PL theory though, presumably given that choice it's pretty common. -- > Is an ML course now a common part of an undergraduate degree programme, though? There were several available to me. It's not really a particular interest of mine, but I took an introductory course anyway, since it would have seemed a bit remiss in today's world to have graduated without knowing an NN from an SVM. Unfortunately for my grades, performance usually reflects interest... I still don't think I actually regret it though.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoYeah, I was referring to MetaLanguage, not Machine Learning.
- pjmlp 10y agoIt was to me, as a "Artificial Intelligence II" optional lectures, in the mid-90's. I rather focused on compiler design and graphical programming options instead, but I remember that all the basis for neuron learning algorithms were already part of the content.
