Do you want to learn the maths for machine learning but don't know where to start?

This thread is for you.
🧵👇

 The guide that you will see below is based on resources that I came across, and some of my experiences over the past 2 years or so.

I use these resources and they will (hopefully) help you in understanding the theoretical aspects of machine learning very well.
Before diving into maths, I suggest first having solid programming skills in Python.

Read this thread for more details👇

https://t.co/sSN3jdxDwK
These are topics of math you'll have to focus on for machine learning👇

- Trigonometry & Algebra

These are the main pre-requisites for other topics on this list.

(There are other pre-requites but these are the most common)
- Linear Algebra

To manipulate and represent data.

- Calculus

To train and optimize your machine learning model, this is very important.
- Statistics

Make "sense" out of the data you have.

- Probability

Make decisions under uncertainty.
These are some of the resources I recommend for learning these topics 👇

You can use many languages for machine learning, why Python?

Because of 2 reasons:
- Comparatively easier to learn than other languages
- Has the biggest and most mature community

This makes Python a no-brainer to learn for machine learning as a beginner.

(3 / 19)

These are the absolute basics which you must know about:

- Basic terminal commands
- Basic arithmetic (+,-,/,*)
- Accepting user input
- For & While loops
- Exception handling
- If-Else statements
- Functions, modules & Imports

(4 / 19)

Then comes the more tougher concepts which you must know about:

- Object oriented programming in Python:Classes, Objects, Methods
- PIP (Pypi)
- List slicing
- String formatting
- Dictionaries & Tuples
- Managing environments
- Dunder methods like __init__

Can you get a job in data science and machine learning without a college degree?

🧵👇

Short Answer: Yes.

Long Answer, keep reading 👇

(Advice from industry experts who I talked to.)

Companies are looking for people who add value.
In order to add value, you'll need skills. Simple as that.

Get the skills to provide value and you'll get the job.

In the age of the internet where everything is pretty much free, why do college degrees matter?

A college degree makes it easier to get the skills to get a job in machine learning or data science.

College degrees also help you make many useful connections and provides many opportunities in the form of internships and whatnot.

College degrees have their own place

Here's our problem,we are given data in which we are given the number of flats in a house and its corresponding price. Like a house with one flat is worth 10000, and 20000 for a house with 2 flats.

(3 / 15)


We can clearly tell that the price of the house increases by 10000 per extra flat however our computer does not know this and we won't it tell it about this, it'll have to figure things out on its own.

Are you planning to learning machine learning this year?

These are the Python frameworks you need to learn as an absolute beginner.

🧵👇

It can be overwhelming seeing all the machine learning frameworks at once and not even knowing what they do.

I made this thread so that your machine learning journey becomes just a little bit easier.

(2 / 11)

This thread will only focus on Python frameworks.

Why?
Because Python is the most common path into machine learning.

( If you have experience with any other language then learning Python will not be difficult at all. )

(3 / 11)

Here's the entire list:

- Pandas
- Numpy
- Matplotlib
- TensorFlow
- PyTorch
- Keras
- Scikit Learn

Let's see what they do.

(4 / 11)

You'll have to interact with csv files or databases on a regular basis to access data in machine learning, pandas helps you do just that.

The cool thing about Pandas is that it actually doesn't change the original data...

Okay, doing my first baby steps with r2frida (which combines the power of @radareorg and @fridadotre).

Gonna share my progress in this thread (live, so keep calm).

The goal: Runtime inspection of data sent out by TikTok !!before!! it gets encrypted

1/many

First of all, we do not start from zero. I got some prior knowledge from past reversing attempts and want to share some important facts.

TikTok's (log data) encryption is accomplished by a native library. The Android Java code just serves as proxy function to the native function

The decompiled code for the respective native JNI function of an older TikTok version looks something like this, but in this example I use the most current TT version (no statical analysis done, yet)


In case you never reversed native libraries which were build to interface with Android Java layer via JNI, I highly suggest the entry level introduction on the topic by @maddiestone

Before we start, I want to pinpoint some important aspects (which are also covered by Maddie's videos).

1) Unlike raw C-functions, JNI functions like the one showcased above, receive pointers to complex Java objects .

F.e. a function receiving a String on the Java layer...

The 8-step quick-start guide to learn Machine Learning.

🧵👇

1⃣ Start with Python 🐍

Yes, you can do other languages, but Python is by far the most straightforward option.

👇

2⃣ Get familiar with numpy, pandas, and matplotlib

These three libraries are probably the most common Python libraries you'll have to use every day.

(Even if you don't end up doing machine learning, these libraries are awesome and useful.)

👇

3⃣ Start using notebooks

Look into Jupyter or Google Colab.

Notebooks are essential for data scientists and machine learning practitioners. Most of the code you'll read and write will be in notebooks.

👇

4⃣ Find a problem (already solved)

In my opinion, the best way to start is by working through a problem —especially when you can learn from its solution.

Start with something simple. I usually recommend "Titanic" from Kaggle.

Thread for beginners; How to learn machine learning.

Let’s start with something really simple and useful not just for Machine Learning.

Start with a Python library called pandas. It’s a huge library but it's mostly fun for traders because it's kind of rewarding to learn each function and how it gonna affect the way you handle the financial data.

Then learn some basic stuff about Python library called NumPy. Pandas is built on NumPy. Numpy is huge, you just need to understand some basic NumPy functions like NumPy shapes and NumPy arrays

If you understand pandas then you will understand NumPy arrays and shapes easily. Side note: Numpy shapes gonna play an important part in the deep learning model called LSTM - mainly used for time-series analysis(such as financial data) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

1/ Here are my notes from @robertwrighter's book - Nonzero: the logic of human destiny. I enjoyed the book very much.

The basic premise of the book is that history has a direction which favors co-operation and non-zero sum games, and that causes an increase in complexity.


2/ Starting from the first replicating molecule which co-operated with an outer layer to form first proto-cell, evolutionary and cultural history is full of examples where two entities come together to survive and progress a lot more than they would have done individually.

3/ This co-operative entity fares much better than two individual entities because of specialization. If two entities are in the same boat - that they win together or lose together - then trust is implicit.

4/ In a non-zero sum game, trust causes entities to focus on what they do best.

For example, eukaryotic cells - the ones animals and plants have - emerged when two proto-cells merged, and one took the role of energy generator (mitochondria), the other specialized in protection.

5/ Some scientists believe that even nucleus in a cell is a result of an early cell merging with another cell.

So M&A is not a recent phenomena, entities have been merging because of common interests ever since life started.

DODDA GANAPATHI, BENGALURU
#karnatakatemples

Dodda in Kannada means big. Sri Ganesha here is 18 ft tall in height and 16 ft wide. Dodda Ganesha is also known as Shakthi Ganapathi and Satya Ganapathi.

It is said that Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru, saw a rock here.


The rock had engravings of Ganesha. His sculptors cut the Ganesha murti from that single rock. Later, a shrine was built around the Ganesh murti.

It is believed that Dodda Ganapathi is the protector of Bengaluru. All auspicious events start by praying to Him.


Benne Alankara is the most famous festival here when about 100 kg of butter is coated over Ganapathi every four years and the rich prasad is offered to the worshippers.

Ganesha is also covered in cream colour and is decorated with golden laces and buttons
@GampaSD


The Dodda Ganapathi murti is believed to be still growing in size, especially towards right.

The weavers from old Bengaluru tie a coconut to their looms before starting work. When the work is completed, they break 100 coconuts here along with the one tied on the loom.

Bhu Varaha Swamy Temple

Bhu Varaha Swamy temple is a Hindu temple, located at Srimushnam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture...


the temple is dedicated to Varaha (Bhu Varaha Swamy), the boar-avatar of the god Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi as Ambujavalli Thayar.

The temple had contributions from Medieval Cholas of the 10th century with later expansions by Thanjavur Nayak king Achuthappa Nayak.


A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and the temple tanks. There is a seven-tieredrajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower.

Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Chariot festival....


celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (April–May), being the most prominent. The festival also symbolises Hindu-Muslim unity in the region – the flag of the chariot is provided by Muslims; they take offerings from the temple and present to Allah in the mosques.

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

Benefits of writing SRI RAMA Jayam!!!

Writing Sri Rama Jayam is known as Likitha Japam- Writing Meditation. This gives one a complete sense of surrender to an inner conscience and peace while writing or chanting the mantras.

#Sri_Rama_Jayam #RamaNavami

Cont 👇

You can write this in any language of your choice. It is the connecting chords with the divine and your inner self.

Below are some points that we came across on the benefits :

Cont 👇

1. Vedas tell that as the sun dispels the darkness, the chanting of Rama Nama dispels all evil and obstacles of life. It is a way of liberation and salvation of human suffering.

2. When you think, that all roads are blocked to walk away from day to day problems..

Cont 👇

writing ‘Sri Ram Ram Ram’ gives you the most needed clarity of thoughts to find away out of odd situations.

3. It was told that a calmness engulfs as one indulges in writing the Sri Rama Jayam bringing in more clarity of mind, tolerance & strength to withstand obstacles in life.

4. Devotion of service of life and its varied forms is devotion to God. So there is no right or wrong way of writing this. The very thought and process to write is a connection with god and finds a inner meaning.
