- jonathankoren 8y agoSo they were doing deep learning as an undergrad, huh? Studying tensors for 10 years? Next you’ll be telling me they have 20 years experience coding for CUDA. No. None of these people have the math background you think, nor do you need it.
- jonathankoren 8y agoI don’t want to belabor this point (but apparently I do, since I’m replying to my own post 2 hours later), but your idea of going back and counting undergraduate work — when it isn’t even related — is simply padding for padding sake. Why stop there? Why not 4 years of high school, too? Aren’t they prerequisites? I mean you can go back all the way to preschool, since counting is a prerequisite to math, and hell, is a whole section of discrete math. But you don’t, because claiming you need 25 years of mathematical training sounds ludicrous.
