- jph00 9y agoYeah there's a discussion of this on http://forums.fast.ai http://forums.fast.ai if you want the details. Basically, Andrew's course is bottom-up (i.e. start with the theory and math and simple examples) and works up from there. Ours is top-down (start with code to train world-class models and dig deeper and deeper in to how they work). fast.ai also has more examples of more recent techniques, and covers a wider variety of applications. Students who have done both tell us that they found both helpful to their understanding of the field and practice.
- dandermotj 9y agoI'm currently doing Andrew Ng's course and wrote a short review of course 1 here [1]. If you have the mathematics and statistics background and want to go through that rigorously enough then it's exceptional. If you are not the mathematically inclined it is still accessible but I can imagine fast.ai being more appropriate, although I have no personal experience.
