  • What are the differences between a Data Engineer, ML Engineer, Data Scientist, and so on? Multiple different ML roles do different things but it took me way too long to figure things out...
    What do I really want to become? A Data Scientist? An ML Engineer? A researcher?
    In this video, I'll do my best to explain what the different ML roles mean!

    Very good video, and your last points about it being easy for software engineers to move into ML. Anyone who has spent years building systems in many industries will be able to generalize the new data from ML.
    Researchers and developers need each other, and I rarely find someone who is great at both.

    Hey Boris, I hope to find some help here. I arrived in Australia to start my master thesis. It is about optimizing prices parameters in a manufacturing environment. Where I have some machines for laying up carbon fiber (Multilayer-2D) and another machine with curing/press process, which adds resin to the fiber in order to harden it.
    Basically I gotta somehow check out the input data and see the correlation. How can I do it? What would you do? The quality is not really measured numerically or binary. I just have some weird data sheets of the machines. I feel overwhelmed. Is there any machine learning algorithm you would advise?
    The aim is to actually see correlation, check out the critical parameters for the quality, then do some experiments with setting these critical parameters up, in order to validate the analytics part.

    thank you Boris, this differentiation between the different roles have been very interesting and insightful, I definitely understand them better.
    I have a question tho if I may, you said that it's easier for a software engineer to transition into ML. However, talking about my case, I'm usually better at maths, and I'm just starting to learn python, sql and the relevant languages for the domain of data science. For someone who wants to work as an ML engineer, do I need years of experience as a software engineer first? or is it possible to break directly into the field with enough personal projects for example? I know this is a difficult and vast question, but if you have some tips that would be awesome.

    Hi Boris! Thanks for the great content, as always. I have always had confusion regarding the differences between various roles in ML and AI; your video clears up many of these. I wanted to know your opinion about something related to this topic. How much does one's PhD major matter in the case of getting a job as a research scientist and/or applied scientist? I am very eager to know this because, at least for now, my dream is to work as an applied scientist or research scientist in the future. However, I am probably going to start my PhD in the College of Pharmacy in the coming fall. My PhD area will be, in general, in the field of healthcare AI for pharmaceutical outcomes and policy determination. I am confused regarding whether I should accept the position or not. Or should I try again next year for a PhD since I don't have any more offers in the ML/AI field this year? Competition in the ML/AI field is increasing tremendously! Feeling hopeless from time to time, to be honest!

      Hey :)
      Thank you! I'm happy my video could be somewhat useful 😊
      And regarding your question. I would say, if you want to work on ML for pharmacy, the role you are offered sounds good!
      You don't necessarily have to be at a CS department to study ML. You will have great domain expertise surrounding you. You would now ideally want to perhaps find some other colleagues that are more experienced with the ML side. But overall, I think it sounds promising 😊
      Enjoy it! 💛

    but does a ml engineer also source and clean data and builds the model and then deploys it?
    Its confusing because sometimes the ml engineer is described as the one who should only deploy the model and the data scientist builds the model.
    and sometimes the ml engineer works also with data and does the complete machine learning pipeline. and the data scientist does not only build a ml model. so confusing.

      In theory, they are not exactly the same. ML is a subset of AI. AI can also include rule and logic-based handcrafted algorithms that don't leverage any learning from data whereas ML refers to artificial intelligence that learns patterns from data "by itself"

    Thank you so much for the explanation! One small thing though: All your example mini videos depict male engineers/researchers and you also always speak about "he" as in a definitely male person. I know that coming from German you are used to a generic masculine (even though even in German this is highly debatable), but in English it's way easier to generalize. Maybe it would allow your viewers to have a less biased image in their head when they think about an ML scientist etc.
