Show HN: A different way to practice machine learning

3 pointsby vladohabout 3 years ago
We built a site that posts one machine learning question every day.<p>Each question presents a problem. Usually, a real problem that you and I have or will face at some point in our careers. Questions are multi-choice, and we show you a full explanation after you answer them.<p>No bullshit: you load the page, answer the question, and leave. The next day, rinse and repeat.<p>We are using AWS in the backend. The questions are stored in a simple DynamoDB table. The React app fetches the questions from an API and tracks some basic stats, like the accuracy of the answers. Very basic functionality, but after the huge reception, we are already working on a few features like sessions and email subscriptions.<p>We have many ideas around a database of high-quality machine learning questions. We are already planning to extend the site in different ways.

Hey, one of the creators here!<p>I suck at memorizing things. I&#x27;d instead apply what I learn, but finding an opportunity to do it is not always straightforward. How about using 3 minutes every day to answer a random machine learning question?<p>This is how the idea came to be. I&#x27;ve been writing questions since the year started, and together with a few friends, we built the site and released it on April&#x27;s Fools Day. Not sure why.<p>The reception so far has been beyond my wildest dreams!
