Like the title says, I am looking to have a deeper understanding of how it works. I am not looking for quick article to just skim but actually understand it deeply.<p>Can you all please recommend ways to wrap my head around it. From the mathematics behind it, tech that goes behind it, foundatational knowledge etc.<p>I know there is a lot of knowledge out there, but it can be overwhelming to know where to start.<p>Open to books, courses, etc to learn from the ground up.<p>Thanks!<p>PS: I have a tech background but I haven't coded since 5 years now. I understand Python.
In which country you are a PM? Humor aside, I'd say something like Elements of Statistical Learning by Hastie et al. would be a decent enough start. Should be available online as OA.
