Learn new skills
Great learning materials are rare. This is a collection of gems I’ve encountered over the years, presented as a 90’s style web link list, intended for anyone who wants to learn new skills.
Grokking Deep Learning by Andrew Trask
Skill: Machine Learning — Understand how neural networks work from scratch and learn to make them using Numpy.
Type of material: Book
Why is it good: Use Python and Numpy to train neural networks to see images and talk like Shakespeare. The book focuses on explaining how each part of a neural network actually works in a very simplified way accompnied by code all through out.
Deep Learning with PyTorch by Eli Stevens, Luca Antiga, and Thomas Viehmann
Skill: PyTorch — Learn how to use PyTorch to build neural networks.
Type of material: Book
Why is it good: The book teaches everything in a practical way, from training deep neural networks, to implementing modules, loss functions, utlizing pretrained models from PyTorch hub to improving network architechture, and getting good results with limited data.
