Is ML even a programming job?
I see it more like data science, 10% programming 90% math.
Edit: 3% programming, 30% math, 67% scrubbing data. Thanks for the correction shortoncash. :)
- shortoncash 8y agoMost ML jobs are sitting around scrubbing data. The fun math part is like 5% of the job, and usually there's some guy (or a small handful of guys) that's a PhD who is hired to do all of that because he was in the research area before he left academia. I could be wrong, but this is my experience.
- softawre 8y agoAgreed. We call that team "operations research" and they are all PhDs. The ML devs build the pipelines and deal with engineering concerns around having/moving/securing lots of data.
- milosdog2 8y agoThat too. So how is all computer science not 'web dev' and not a viable career choice? Assuming we are talking about the "right" kind of web dev, I guess.
- koudos 8y agoI think there's a general misuse of terms like AI, Machine Learning, Data science and Data engineer. ML is the new "Big Data"
