NYU DS-GA 1008 – Deep Learning

This is the researcher who published the original convolutional neural network papers providing a basis for modern deep neural networks. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yann.lecun.com&#x2F;exdb&#x2F;publis&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;lecun-99.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yann.lecun.com&#x2F;exdb&#x2F;publis&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;lecun-99.pdf</a>

I&#x27;m interested in deep learning. I&#x27;m worried that my lack of higher level math skills will limit my progress<p>How much math is needed for studying deep learning?<p>Any suggestions for good resources on math for deep learning much appreciated

I wonder what is a good hardware setup for following this kind of course and seriously play with deep learning in general (outside of an enterprise context where the enterprise would provide the hardware). What kind of budget should be considered ?

Gah, graduated a few years too early would have loved to take this directly.

Typo in the title: it&#x27;s Yann not Yaan

This is unrelated to the actual link, but I am always surprised by the English language tendency to - for the lack of a better word - smash names together.<p>Yann LeCun is called Yann Le Cun [0] in French, but &quot;Le&quot; and &quot;Cun&quot; are smashed together in English. Lafayette [2] is of course called La Fayette [3]. Du Pont becomes DuPont, and so on.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yann_Le_Cun" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yann_Le_Cun</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yann_LeCun" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yann_LeCun</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gilbert_du_Motier_de_La_Fayette" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fr.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gilbert_du_Motier_de_La_Fayett...</a>
