I feel your pain and excitement in equal measure.
It can be hard to know where to start with some of these concepts, especially so given that a lot of recent developments (e.g. RAG) are developing so rapidly that there’s unlikely to be a reference book you could refer to anytime soon that would be current.
That said, I do find that documentation is getting better depending on where you look. The documentation for higher level tools like LlamaIndex is a good starting point for understanding the concepts (not so much in terms of explaining the concepts, but showing where they fit into the overall picture, then you can deep-dive elsewhere on the different parts).
YouTube has always been a mixed bag of very little solid information in a sea of non-experts trying to attract clicks for the latest trends, so it’s not a great starting point IMHO.
- phkahler 2y ago>> YouTube has always been a mixed bag As an outsider but avid reader of this stuff linked from HN, I would recommend the channel 3blue1brown. He's got several NN and AI related videos, and the couple I've seen were pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk
- renonce 2y agoYeah but the other side of the coin is that they only explain the very basic concepts that are already settled for several years, not any of these "latest trends"
- objektif 2y agoLlamaindex docs are absolutely terrible IMO. I have gone through it so many times but still do not understand the terms and organization. Router for querying router query engine?
- mercer 2y agohow would you rate Yannic Kilcher, if you're aware of him?
- deskamess 2y agoThe RAG explanation was pretty good. It had the right level of description and it explored the sub-topics and defined them.
