Ask HN:Big Data.Statistics or CS Phd?
I am a double major in Math and Computer Science planning to go to graduate school next year.I am interested in Data Analytics,Data Mining&Machine Learning .Which PhD program is most appropriate for this?
- rgbrgb 14y agoIf it were me, I'd look at which departments the superstars you want to be studying under are in. At Columbia, Jebara is in CS and has an opening (http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~jebara/prospective.html http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~jebara/prospective.html). Also, it kind of depends where your interests lie. If you want to use big data to create intelligent machines, or you're interested in the logistics of working with massive datasets, maybe CS. If you want to use big data for hypothesis testing, or you're more interested in theory related to math modeling, maybe stats. Good luck!
