I actually just did this. Courses online such as Andrew Ng's Deep Learning course on Coursera and Standford course papers online are where I started. Then began working through tensor flow tutorials. Then looking up papers on modern neural net architectures. Took a matter or a few months to be productive. In the end, I realized that although neural nets are very fascinating, working on training them is tedious and not as fun as working on product code. I'd rather use the neural nets in a product, much like a sensor, than work on actually training the net.
- iamwil 9y agoSame here. I too enjoy writing functional code more than I do training neural networks. Most of the classes focus on the training part, but most of the work in practice is running people down to give you data, and cleaning it. Even sharing datasets is difficult, and I recently wrote a bit about it. https://blog.helmspoint.com/posts/2017/09/05/sharing-machine-learning-datasets.html https://blog.helmspoint.com/posts/2017/09/05/sharing-machine... But that doesn't even cover versioning, licensing, permanence, and provenance. The tools available for machine learning training is still nascent, so the experience isn't great.
