Ask HN: Starting machine learning? Books, videos and other resources
I want to start learning about machine learning.
I'm a seasoned software developer, worked with things like C#, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Elixir throughout the years.
Never touched machine learning, but eager to get started.
How would you recommend a developer start diving into machine learning?
Any paid for video resources or books?

- ramblenode 10y agoTwo that I have enjoyed: 1. "Machine Learning" - Murphy It's a classic and a rigorous introduction to the subject. It focuses on theory over implementation so it's more for developing a principled understanding of machine learning fundamentals than for getting you up to speed with modern tools necessary for solving real problems. 2. "Neural Networks and Deep Learning" - Nielson This is a free online book that is very accessible and engaging. It covers basic theory and implements examples in Python.
- vanboxel 10y agoI created a video course aimed at ML enthusiasts with software experience. It introduces Google's TensorFlow library, walks through code examples, and tries intuitively explain some of the statistics. https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/deep-learning-tensorflow-video https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/... But I also agree with other posters that you should study fundamental statistics first.

- f0under 10y agoCame here to ask the same question. I'm a seasoned dev and UX designer. Really interested in where i can use design thinking with machine learning and needed a few starting points. Besides tutorials and books, are there friendly communities for novices? Any interesting libraries to jump start projects?
