Lazy Programmer Forum

Hi Lazy,
I am very passionate about Deep Learning and would like to improve my skills in the things you are teaching me. What is the most effective technique to study "deep learning"? I want to be able to write code to implement math equations and algorithms that I have never seen before. With the abilities I will get from your lectures, I want to be able to work on large projects that catch people's attention. What do the best deep learning programmers do?

Thanks for your question.

I would recommend the following 2 things:

1) Look at the "course order" list (https://deeplearningcourses.com/course_order). If you can make it up to the advanced courses (for example, the advanced sections of the transformers and NLP courses), then you can consider your knowledge good. Additionally, the more knowledge you have, the better. For example, if you know both computer vision and NLP, your career options would be greater than someone with only knowledge of NLP.

2) Follow the advice in "how to succeed in this course". This includes not just ensuring you can replicate the existing course code, but also applying the course code to your own datasets.

Thanks so much. I'll do just that.
