Any inspiring and engaging deep learning courses for beginners?

Submitted by westeast1000 t3_1011upq in deeplearning

I'm interested in deep learning after seeing this chatgpt stuff and am super keen to learn it. However most courses I see are soo boring, full of theory and concepts with no clear real world applications. Does anyone know of a course or tutorial that jumps right in or builds towards some real world application? Need a course where its clear from the very start what I'll be creating, something fun I can show others too.

Ai is inherently filled with theory and concepts. Not knowing these concepts will prevent you from building much of anything useful currently

You could try the fastai course, it jumps right into doing some practical applications.
It is a decent introduction, but I strongly recommend learning from some other source along with that, as programming fastai relies very much on their custom non-standard framework.

If you're a complete beginner and you're okay with a specific domain, I highly recommend the UMich Deep learning for Computer Vision by Justin Johnson.This is an excellent introductory course since it assumes no prior knowledge but most importantly Justin does an excellent job at providing solid foundational intuitions for deep learning (he taught CS231 with Karpathy). If you don't like Computer Vision, I still recommend the first 6-7 lectures.

I'll always recommend Andrew Ng's course for some broad basics alongside it as well. After that, you can jump into NYU's DL course by Yann and Alfredo. Imo Yann provides some of the best and most concise abstractions for some very complex concepts. If you're a beginner, some of it might go over your head. But once you have some general sense for the lay of the land and hands on experience, his abstractions are profound.
