It's one of the best courses to take if you want to obtain some fundamental understanding of the mathematical concepts behind AI.
Yes there's much more to it than NNs/transformers/'Attention is all you need' paper/whatever else is trendy right now. No, don't expect to do important, as in employable, work if you won't be spending some time truly understanding the mathematical foundations.
- ecks4ndr0s 3y agoAgreed.

No, don't expect to do important, as in employable, work if you won't be spending some time truly understanding the mathematical foundations. People only seem to want the former.
- caddemon 3y agoI hate academic trend following as much as anyone, but is it really true people are not employable in this space if they don't understand mathematical foundations? Sure, they're not getting a job at DeepMind, but it feels like there are many successful ML grifters these days too. Maybe I'm just on Twitter too much.
