Artificial Intelligence programming

[semtex]

I am a Software Engineering major and I'm thinking about going to grad school for intelligent systems/artificial intelligence. How mathematically rigorous is it? I know much of it is based on probability, but as long as it's not proof-heavy I don't really have a problem.

You better be able to do proofs and algorithm analysis in your sleep.

ah penis. it's so fascinating to me. Algorithm analysis (aside from proving correctness with induction ) isn't bad at all to me. Oh well.

@semtex @Type Username Here Is software engineering just a dumbed down CS major?

 

[semtex]

no we have to take everything CS majors take and then some. At least at my school.

Its the opposite

Then why would anyone be concerned about preparation for grad school in CS if SE covers all the same stuff / is more difficult

Neither has an undergrad curriculum geared towards AI. AI is specialized. You can take AI electives in undergrad though.

Nah breh, like dude said above, it's usually the opposite at most schools.

Computer Science focuses more on theory aspect, but SEs are usually better at programming, designing large projects, and they have to take a lot of physics and hardware classes on top of regular CS core classes.

We don't have to take physics at my school We code our monkey asses off though.

if you want a job at google or MS...go for it.....fukk an algorithm

loook at this dirty setter Im messing with:

totals.setRomTotalCost(MgmtviewBO.totalsBigDecimalAdd(totals.getPlannedLabor(), bean.getPlannedLabor()), MgmtviewBO.totalsBigDecimalAdd(totals.getPlannedMaterial(), bean.getPlannedMaterial()));

actually not that bad...but its funky to trace the 4 elements in it...because this is in a loop

god bless algorithms. At least the ones that are already written

the Collections class

my nikka. what the fukk is that? can't tell where the parameters begin and end.
