I completed that course awhile back. Definitely a really great course if you can keep up. It is quite difficult, and I was quite terrible at it.
I don't think I have any affinity for the topic, but at least now I can read/discuss the topic without being completely blind. There are also a lot of smaller components in the course that I found useful even not working directly in AI/ML. Just some general data modelling and linear algebra stuff was nice to pick up on the ride.
- visarga 10y agoSome AI professors recommend first jumping into a ML framework such as scikit-learn or Keras, which are more approachable, playing with them to the point where a little practical intuition will develop, and only then follow up with theory. Works better in practice than loading up on courses and math at the beginning, and helps the student form practical interest in the field and be more emotionally invested. In other words, first, hack your way in, and only then open the books.
