Day 9 of #31DaysofML

💁‍♀️ I thought today I would share a tip that has helped me in my #MachineLearning journey
💡The best way to learn ML is to pick a problem that you feel excited about & let it guide your learning path. Don't worry about the terms or tools, it's all secondary

Here's an example. Few weeks ago I wanted to live translate an episode of @GCPPodcast. The first question I asked myself was:
🤔 Does any video/audio translation API already exist?
🔹 If so - I would give that a try
🔹 If not, I would create it from scratch

@GCPPodcast Next, I started digging into the Media Translation API which would translate audio & video data.
My point is:
📌 You don't always need to create a model
📌 Save yourself time & resources by using the models that already exist (if they server your purpose)

@GCPPodcast Media translation API served my purpose. It was:
🔹 Easy to setup
🔹 Provided real-time translations
🔹 Accuracy was high
🔹 I did not have to use Speech-to-Text & Translation models separately

@GCPPodcast If you are convinced that any existing models/API don't serve your needs then look at creating custom models. Even then choose easier paths such as AutoML which allows you to upload your data and automate the training for you. More on this later... 👋
