I'm a CS student, who is super interested in deep learning and ml in general. I've started playing around with pytorch a bit and got some stuff to work, but I don't fully understand the code I wrote.
So instead I started the fastai course and now I have the opposite problem where it feels a little too easy and I fear that that approach would fall flat the moment I want to do something outside of the things fastai can do.
So now I'm thinking about scrapping that too and going to the opposite side and just building something from scratch without any ml framework at all.
Would you say sticking with fastai is good idea, or is it more of way to just pique someone's interest?
- tmabraham 5y agoIf you follow through with the entire fastai course/book, then you will learn how to build an ML framework (the fastai library) from scratch. Yes, it starts out by saying "you can do deep learning with 4 lines of code" but it goes through all the inner workings, and talks about some pretty advanced stuff. Of course, no book can cover everything, but it also functions quite well as a jumping off point for more advanced self-study.
