Deep learning skills as a 4 yr old

in #blockchain7 years ago (edited)

Fortunately for us, most of the pioneers of Deep Learning are good educators and builders. The result is abundantly available high quality and free learning resources. I will provide some guidance biased by my personal experience. I do not have a PhD and have picked up skills on the job and via the internet. Also, I consider myself a practitioner and not a researcher. Here are things that have helped me. Remember you can do these in parallel just like a GPU :)

Linear Algebra, Probability, and Calculus

I wish somebody would have told me this in high school.
Linear Algebra, Probability, and Calculus are the most important tools for expressing and executing ideas
Approach your study from a tools perspective.

The best way to start is read part 1 (http://www.deeplearningbook.org/contents/part_basics.html) of the Deep Learning Book.

(http://www.deeplearningbook.org/) Then make learning Linear Algebra, Probability, and Calculus part of your learning experience by continuously consuming material. Here are some more resources. No limit to how deep you can go. I am a novice and still learning…

Just as above but for Calculus.

MIT course on applied mathematics. Some methods relevant to AI and others not.

        **Software Engineering for AI**

Praise be to the people who decided to use Python and not things like Matlab to share AI knowledge and techniques.

  • Pick your Deep Learning toolkit and get good at it. For example, Tensorflow (https://www.tensorflow.org/)or Tensorflow + Keras (https://keras.io/). Many to choose from. The websites for these toolkits are filled with learning material and guides.

Remember, you do not need to know everything but comfort with this material will help you run your networks faster and debug issues.

          **Deep Learning Materials**

IMHO the progression of digesting materials is lectures -> blogs/books -> papers. Some of my favorites.

Because I as a young professional follow same path bot bro.
