As a PhD student in NLP, I completely approve your recommendations! These are relevant, concrete and feasible steps so thank you very much for presenting this in that very pleasant way. I would maybe add something regarding college students that may wonder if they should start with math or computer science majors to work in machine/deep learning top companies. My advice relying on my experience is: start with math. It is, to my mind, far easier to learn computer science concepts when you already got the maths principles. I do have a math background initially and I struggle a bit at the beginning of my journey with some software engineering aspects of project development, but I am convinced that I would have struggled way more if I had to learn math concepts from scratch by the end of my degree.

[@borismeinardus]

Thank you very much for the insight! I really appreciate it and value it, that you approve of what I say 💛 But yes, maths is always the biggest blocker for people wanting to get started with ML. I think both paths (Maths first, or maths second) are viable and depend on the person. I know some (probably most) people might be frustrated right away when they just start with pure maths (I personally love maths :)). That's why I think starting with something fun like programming basics is a good idea. As mentioned in the video, no step really needs to be fully completed one after the other. You can also learn maths and python side by side. Mix and match to your desire, as long as you put in the time, and enjoy it, everyone can learn machine learning. And If you are in college doing CS, you will have linear algebra and calculus courses anyway haha. You just need to appreciate the content and power through! Again, thank you for your comment! 😊

[@markaragnos2446]

Frankly this is where i really messed up. I learned python and straight up jumped to learning the ML tech stack. Completely ignoring the math. When i got into NN and deep learning, my lack of math knowledge sent me crashing down coz i kept learning math stuff in bits and pieces only for what i was learning in deep learning at the time. It got chaotic and led to lots of failure in tasks and interviews. Finally an interviewer told me that there is no point going advance if i dont know the basics. I went back to learning math properly and while its been really challenging to study with a pen and paper instead of coding all the time... i know i am now on the right path.

[@derpythecate6842]

As a comsci major who did some AI as a hobby then formally taking a module on it, I'm burnt out due to the same issue. Its very easy to say just rely on some existing neural network architecture, and ignore the fundamental math principles behind it. The thing is the math (e.g deriatives, linear algebra, statistics) is what drives the algorithms in the first place. By know the math, you know what metrics are appropriate, what other approaches that are more efficient can solve the problem quickly. But its intimidating since most of the data are working in arbitrary higher dimensions that what I learnt before, and its hard to visualize, but less connect the math you prove into code.

[@borismeinardus]

Yes, I see... I am sure this is a common problem people have. Maths is scary. I feel like really understanding the basic is important, but expecting to understand everything in the first paper you read is pretty much impossible. But, (and this is the important part) since you have learned the basics, you know enough to research the more advanced maths, and if you give yourself enough time, you will learn everything you need step by step. Even if there is a maths concept you didn't understand in the first paper, once it arises in a further one you read, you will surely be better prepared to understand it. If you continue on failing and learning, you will master the maths, and then see, that it really is not too scary after all :)

Great video. ML is not about taking a dataset and training random models on it. Every model is different in their own way and the ability to understand the math behind the models helps you determine which model may fit best with your dataset. While these tutorials are great, I’d recommend getting a graduate degree MS/PhD. Most ML positions require a graduate degree, which force you to truly understand the theory

I am not sure that basic math such as linear algebra, probabilty in the level of high school, first year of university is enough. I guess some day you will encounter something like of a glass ceiling because advanced ml requires far more advanced math. I am not discouraging the reader to lower his arms, but if you have a choice, it is better to join university where math is taught on above average level. I have a really strong background in pure math, but even with it i sometimes strugge. For e.g. you might need subjects which are really hard to understand such as functional analysis, stochastic processes, descrete math and etc(subjects which is not present in standard engineering math curriculum). But i am working in the research, not on the ml engineer position, so i guess i'm a little bit biased :) But, once again, my advise is to study math as much and as thoroughly as possible.
