In a July 2014 post (reprised a couple days ago) I referred to Dogbert:
As Carnegie Mellon Financial Engineering prof. Dogbert explains, we are dealing with aggregates here:...Not just because Carnegie Mellon has a first tier Financial Engineering program, which it does, see QuantNet's rankings below, but also because it runs the premier Machine Learning/AI program in the country, for those who want to pursue a double Masters and/or a Doctorate in ML.
