Surprised (and delighted!) to see this pop up on the front page of HN today! This course is designed to teach proficient coders the practice of deep learning, that is: how to train accurate models; how to test and debug models; and key deep learning concepts. It covers applications in vision, natural language processing, tabular data, and recommendation systems.
If you're interested in diving deeper into the papers and math behind the scenes, as well as coding from the lowest levels (right down to the compiler level), you'll be interested in "Deep Learning from the Foundations", which is coming out in 2 weeks. The last two lessons are co-taught with Chris Lattner (creator of Swift, LLVM, and Clang).
If you want to understand the underlying linear algebra implementation details, have a look at "Computational Linear Algebra for Coders": https://github.com/fastai/numerical-linear-algebra https://github.com/fastai/numerical-linear-algebra
If you want to learn about decision trees, random forests, linear regression, validation sets, etc, try "Introduction to Machine Learning for Coders": https://course18.fast.ai/ml https://course18.fast.ai/ml

Let me know if you have any questions!
- deskamess 7y agoIs there a course or part of a course that focuses, at a library level, on semantic classification. For example, if we had a reference document that had the term "fruit", then if someone entered the string "grape" we would tie it to the the "fruit" section(s) of the reference document.
- phren0logy 7y agoJeremy, we met at Exponential Medicine a few years ago. You probably don't remember me, but I wanted to say thanks for the inspiration (both in person and via this course). I'm still chipping away at AI applications to mental health and the law, which sadly remains relevant: https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2019/06/judge-holds-oregon-in-contempt-finding-state-violates-mentally-ill-defendants-rights.html https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2019/06/ju... The course has been a fantastic resource. Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Looking forward to what comes out of the work with Swift. Thanks again to both you and Rachel for your contributions, and attention to the ethics of AI as a central concern that's every bit as relevant as the technical details.
- middleman90 7y agoIs there a link already where I'll be able to find the "Deep Learning from the Foundations" course?
