- deepsun 5y agoFor English-speakers -- Kaggle forums. Top kaggler (Giba) said he learned everything just reading Kaggle forums (he was an electric engineer). I personally mostly talked to friends, Kaggle, and 1-2 Coursera classes. PS: Kaggle is pretty far from real production ML, but good enough to dive in.
- ChuckNorris89 5y ago>said he learned everything just reading Kaggle forums (he was an electric engineer) The math you learn when studying electrical engineering plus all the signal processing stuff, gives you a good foundation to pivot to ML. It's a shame electrical engineering is so poorly paid by default in comparison to SW dev.
- abc_lisper 5y agoYeah, would appreciate if parent answers this.
- Salgat 5y agoI imagine he is doing the tooling to support the ML team. I've seen listings for that type of work that don't require any ML experience. Usually you need a PhD if you want to be developing and tuning models.
