Best way to practice or Learn about practical stuff about deeplearning?

Submitted by adharanda11 t3_127eett in deeplearning

I have completed the Machine learning and Deep Learning specializations by Andrew NG. Now I feel like I have better understanding of deep learning. Yes I want to tackel the deep learning book by Yoshua Bengio, which is theoretical (which I will be doing when I start my master's degree).

I want to learn how to actually develop good deep learning models, which is something that is not taught. Most of the content I found about deep learning is theoretical, but how to learn how to create models as a beginner.

I came across Huggingface which has prebuilt models and requires very little twerking. Is it worth developing projects using this as a beginner? Can you guys guide me on how to proceed? Like any resource that I can use to develop my own models? Or resource from where I can learn how to use weights of other models to train my own?

Your help will be really appreciated.

Projects. Only way to test what you have learned is projects. In Andrew Ng's deep learning course, he has assignments pertaining to a topic/application of deep learning. Easiest way to expand this is to make a whole project out of it. Best way to show your skills.

As you said, yes there are resources to get weights for models, look into model zoos. Hope this helps!

Look into tutorials or projects published on YouTube maybe, even that is a great source. The main idea to copy someone's project in beginner stage, is to get inspired by them and then later do what you want and build upon it. Right now you have the theoretical knowledge, but programming will also come into the picture when you are on a data science job

I was also thinking about this to gain a basic experience of how projects are made and structured.

You wouldn't want to go into designing machine learning systems and life cycle right now. Just build projects. Don't get stuck into a cycle of MOOCs

How will I build projects if I don't know how to use tensorflow?

Tensorflow is used to make neural networks. Start with simpler machine learning algorithms. Look into the Scikit-learn library. Scikit-learn is used for simpler and more commonly used machine learning algorithms. Look into kaggle tutorials for better understanding. Hope this helps!

After you have played with scikitlearn, spend some time studying its endpoint (it's like an industry standard), then go on and play with tensoflow/torch
