Really cool and interesting. Looks like deep learning and AI is going to make some significant strides in the tech industry. I read somewhere that there is still a lack of professionals to expedite the adoption in the wild. What additional skills are required by your regular full stack software engineer to be useful for a deep learning company? I know there are courses out there but I am not sure if they are too academic. Are there specific technologies that one should be playing with?
- agibsonccc 10y agoIt varies. Sometimes it's just understanding enough about data to build data products. (Eg: a website with a recommendation engine component) Knowing data visualization can also be useful. Most deep learning companies focus on a particular application. FWIW I'm actually self taught. I did client projects and learned machine learning on my own. You could start by branching in to data engineering and understanding how data pipelines work. That's closer to the skills a full stack developer is likely to have.
- dragon_king 10y agoVery interesting. Thanks for the insight.
