Ask HN: ML/Data Science Job from Computational Social Science PhD?
I'm currently in the first year of my 4yr salaried PhD in computational socical science. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there on HN who've made the transition from quant social sciences themselves to industry and if you have any recommendations for how to make the shift. Other input is also much appreciated.
- gus_massa 2y agoWhich programming languages are you going to use?
- muad_dib_ 2y agoCurrently I'm using a mixture of Python (numpy, pandas, seaborn, matplotlib, sklearn, PyTorch, keras), R (tidyverse, base R and a bunch of causal inference-related packages) and some SQL. Been experimenting a bit with PyTorch while doing course in deep learning. Also looking to learn some web development frameworks. I'd say most comfy using R, but improving my Python abilities.
