Ask HN: Recommendation for PhD-level course on DeepLearning for self-learner?

1 pointsby striker_axelalmost 5 years ago
Hi HN, I have started my study on DeepLearning from March. Initially, I went with no Math courses like fast.ai and Started working on code. But to implement something new I needed a Deeper Knowledge on Research papers so I have completed the following courses.<p>1. Andrew Ng&#x27;s DeepLearning Specialization<p>2. NLP from Stanford.<p>then I went to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.deeplearningbook.org book by Ian Goodfellow. But the unsupervised learning part too abstract. that I feel like I am still missing the foundation for understanding deeplearnning.<p>Any recommendation?

You can not really appreciate the beauty of machine learning without the maths behind it. I don&#x27;t know what your maths background is but if I had to recommend, a good understandig of Linear Algebra makes all the difference when you read ML papers. I would storngly recommend Gilbert Strang&#x27;s two courses on Linear Algebra [1] and Matrix Methods[2].<p>Everything else that mostly cares about application is easy to find on the internet (see the r&#x2F;MachineLearning subreddit).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocw.mit.edu&#x2F;courses&#x2F;mathematics&#x2F;18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010&#x2F;video-lectures&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocw.mit.edu&#x2F;courses&#x2F;mathematics&#x2F;18-06-linear-algebra...</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocw.mit.edu&#x2F;courses&#x2F;mathematics&#x2F;18-065-matrix-methods-in-data-analysis-signal-processing-and-machine-learning-spring-2018&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ocw.mit.edu&#x2F;courses&#x2F;mathematics&#x2F;18-065-matrix-method...</a>
