The First-Time Machine Learning Playbook.

(Read this if you want to efficiently learn machine learning, avoid frustration from searching for resources, and build a career in ML.)

What people think you need:

Most people think you need to be a math and stats expert to learn ML. ML can be math intensive, but it’s not a barrier to entry.

What you need:

• The Ability to code
• An Open and Curious Mind
• A Good starting point

Which leads me to …
Where to Start:

If you can code, then start here: course.fast.ai

The @fastdotai Course is a fantastic place to start. Instead of going from the basics towards an application, it starts from an application and breaks it down piece by piece.

Did I mention it’s free?
@fastdotai What to do next:

Once you’ve completed the FastAI course, how do you use your newfound skills?

Simple Answer: Compete in @kaggle contests.

Just learning skills and concepts without putting them to use is like learning to ride a bike online and then not riding a bike outside
@fastdotai @kaggle The Blue Pill:

You’re now good at applying ML (Kaggle will make sure of it) but you want to learn more theory?

• Try out the Deep learning Specialization on Coursera: deeplearning.ai/courses/deep-l…

• Read papers. Here’s how:
@fastdotai @kaggle The Red Pill:

It’s not enough to know how ML works in theory. How do you deploy a model in the real world, test it, debug issues, etc. ?

Take the @full_stack_dl course here: fullstackdeeplearning.com/course/

While it is also free, they also have a paid cohort based version.
@fastdotai @kaggle @full_stack_dl TL;DR

• Start with the FastAI Course

• Compete in Kaggle

• Read papers:

• Try the Deep Learning AI Specialization

• Complete the loop with Full Stack DL course

• Specialize
