Thanks for writing this. It sounds like what I've experienced in this kind of work isn't just accidental. I am working on leveling up math skills to be able to understand the process for TensorFlow etc, but I get the feeling that once it's finally tractable I'll still have the same problems of finding how to transform the inputs into whatever works best for the model, what to output, and how to use the output. This seems to be the part that can't be solved by off-the-shelf packages. And the part where many or most exciting discoveries will be made in the future.
- rs86 9y agoYou might find useful to study algebra. It helps finding mathematical representations. You are in luck if you can find a representation that can be mapped to a vector space.
- guscost 9y agoDefinitely, Linear Algebra is next up, and it is seriously needed.
- lilbobbytables 9y agoWould say Algebra (and Linear Algebra as mentioned below) are the most useful to learn for ML/AI?
- lechiffre10 9y agoI would suggest following Siraj on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4gDikiec8E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4gDikiec8E really insightful!
