Are there any Master's degrees in AI + chip design?
- godelmachine 8y agoNever heard of one, if you ask me. You have to customize the course so as to suit your expectations. Basically, take up courses on Machine Learning and Advanced Digital Electronics.
- soravux 8y agoIn my university, both machine (and deep) learning and FPGA + chip design are specialties of the electrical engineering department. We just launched earlier this year an industry-oriented AI masters degree. Taking your extra classes in chip design would give you a solid foundation to perform this.
- godelmachine 8y agoWould you kindly provide the link to the particular course of your university? Thanks :)
- soravux 8y agoThe master's program in AI I was referring to is only available in French (Laval University, Québec City). The chip design expertise is provided by most electrical engineering departments, with courses usually named VLSI design, FPGA/ASIC development or microelectronics. If you apply for a master's degree (in AI, for example), you can often mix-and-match speciality classes and ask for those chip design courses to be added to your cursus. If you are a hands-on person curious about the matter, you can buy an FPGA (~50$ for entry-level) and follow a Verilog or VHDL tutorial online. Quickly put, an FPGA is a chip that can be "rewired" at will, very useful to learn or prototype before building a production chip.
- godelmachine 8y agoThanks for the info :) Hope it will be available in English soon enough.

- deepnotderp 8y agoMIT has a course I think.
- godelmachine 8y agoWould you kindly post the relevant link?
- deepnotderp 8y agoI think it's an MIT only course, but this is a good starting link: http://eyeriss.mit.edu/ http://eyeriss.mit.edu/
