"and studying ML for a few months" Could anyone with expertise say if this would be enough to build a foundation? How much math background do you need?

- jules 14y agoYou need at least probability/statistics, linear algebra, calculus, and numerical methods. Once you know this machine learning is a relatively thin layer built on this math foundation. The real problem is learning the math foundation.
- jackpirate 14y agoIt might be enough to be able to use tools that other people have built, and have a rough idea of what's going on under the hood, and how to select which algorithm to use in a very general sense. It won't be enough for you to be designing your own algorithms.
