This is where I’ve spent much of my career, and it’s something I have always enjoyed digging into, so for now I’ve decided to do computing systems. But I also wasn’t sure it would ever be particularly relevant to my career.Ĭomputing systems is more traditional engineering, including distributed systems, networking, OS fundamentals, and all that great stuff that goes on under the hood (even on ML systems). The first is interesting to me, because it’s an area I haven’t spent a lot of time in – so I would be learning a lot of new things. I debated a long time between ML and Computing Systems. It should be doable without needing a strong math proofs background. While still a tough class, it fits in better with a CS major being focused on algorithms and algorithm analysis. However CCA has now been replaced across Georgia Tech with CS6515 Graduate Algorithms. When CCA was the only option – the infamous widowmaker OMSCS course that was math proof heavy – it pushed a lot of people into that specialization. Interactive intelligence has been popular, anecodotally, because it’s the only specialisation that doesn’t require taking an algorithms course. Then driving cars started picking up steam, lots more press, and AI/ML is now all the rage. At least, my professor was pretty negative on the AI outlook. I remember taking a graduate level ML class about 6 years ago, and the situation felt a lot different to today – like another AI winter. Probably the most popular are Machine Learning and Interactive Intelligence. There are a few specialisations available to MSCS students. Updated : Update course list and progress. Updated : Revised my progress and changed some courses. Updated : Revised my progress and changed some courses, and updated some old information. I’ve put together a computing systems and machine learning plan. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what courses to take, and thought I’d share my course plans for those in the same boat. I’ve just finished my first semester at Georgia Tech, in the amazing OMSCS program.
