    What are some great books (or other resources) to get into machine learning?

    how are your math skills ?

    Pretty good.

    If you don't know how to program my first suggestion would be to learn programming fundamentals with Python first
    jetbrains.com/academy

    Introductory AI Course (Very Begginer Friendly) :
    elementsofai.com

    Machine Learning Course (More diffucult, but you said your good with math) :
    coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

    Linear Algebra Refresher w/ a more visual approach in case you need it :
    youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs&list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFitgF8hE_ab

    A.I related podcast that can keep you inspired throughout your journey :
    youtube.com/user/lexfridman/videos

    You do not by any means need to finish all these courses lol.
    Pick the one that works best for you and stick with it.

    I'd start with getting up to speed with Python (which is easy), and then doing the Introductory Elements of AI course to see if this is something that interests you.

    Ayyy you a real one, thanks. Don't worry about the programming, I have a bachelor's in computer science. I just never had the chance to get into machine learning or AI properly. And it was Lex who actually got me interested, been watching his podcast for a while now.

    Thanks again.

    who knows a lot about diffusion models? this is a new idea to me and i havent really taken time to dig into it but im curious what this really means

  • Mar 7, 2023

    Also yesterday i learned about this technique where you can use a GAN to learn the features of your data, then transfer the weights of the discriminator to a CNN for classification, the advantage being you dont need nearly as much training data to get your classifier working well.

    Any thoughts?

    Would love to get into this. Although im not good at maths but pretty decent at programming if i might say so myself

    These videos are great for explaining the math used in machine learning as well as a general overview

    The dataset is great for getting started too, it’s relatively simple to train using pytorch and/or tensorflow, from there you can either try to train a neural network using pure numpy or a lower level language (this is what I’ve been working on as a personal project this semester), or you could play around with those python libraries and different datasets, depends whether you want more experience with data science or computer science

    Yo bless bro, thank you! Will go through this later today

    Hopefully bout to start working on research in this field, biological image stuff, probably on the cutting edge side

    No cap I'm already thinking of how I can contribute to the field, maybe develop something for commercial use

    I already know about the basics so it shouldn't take too long

    Don't sleep tho, this the calm before the storm, tbh this is the gateway to the future we all imagined as kids. In 10-20 years atleast 50% of jobs will be able to be automated. It's not a question of if but when. And even more importantly whether we let this revolution happen

    Ngl checked out the GPT models and uhhh

    It’s basically been like 10x-ing my productivity writing software

    Stable diffusion seems so weird like how does it work

    there’s a lot of easy to understand walk throughs of how it works. don’t have time to link any rn but YouTube has some good ones. also huggingface has a good write up

    a lot of my work this semester has been translating c or machine code into assembly chatgpt can handle all tthat so easy lmao
