Are you planning to learning machine learning this year?

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

🧵👇

There are a million machine learning tutorials and courses out there which makes it really hard to choose the right one for you.

Here are some that I really like that you might find useful.
🧵 👇🏻

Before we begin, here's some unsolicited advice.

It is not about how many courses you take that matters but the problems that you solve with your knowledge.

You can take any combination of courses and tutorials from this list that you think will be useful.

Python crash course by Traversy Media (YouTube)

• Introduces you to a lot of basic concepts in Python
• Only 1.5 hours long

Intermediate Python course (YouTube)

• Helps you understand some of the more difficult concepts in Python

The neural networks series by 3blue1brown (YouTube)

• Visually explains neural networks
• Short and concise

Here's everything you need to know about the math for machine learning.

🧵👇

Before diving into the math, I suggest first having solid programming skills.

For example👇

In Python, these are the concepts which you must know:

- Object oriented programming in Python : Classes, Objects, Methods
- List slicing
- String formatting
- Dictionaries & Tuples
- Basic terminal commands
- Exception handling

👉You need to have really strong fundamentals in programming, because machine learning involves a lot of it.

It is 100% compulsory.

These are the tools you will need for machine learning in Python.

🧵👇

Anaconda

When you work in python, you'll be working with several frameworks and many of them work only on specific versions of python.

(2 / 13)

Now imagine downloading a new version of python and then installing it for every framework you want to work with 😬.

Meet Anaconda which allows you to run several versions of python. It comes pre-installed with several data science and machine learning frameworks.

(3 / 13)

Pip-env is also a way of maintaining several versions of Python and comes pre installed with Python.
You can use pip env or Anaconda, whichever works for you.

Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks is an IDE just like VS code or Sublime. The special thing about jupyter is that you can parts of code in mini code editors called cells. This is great for prototyping and testing code.

Everyone tells you how important math is in machine learning.

But I believe that if you want to learn machine learning today, there are things more important than math which very few people will tell you about.

Here are 5 of them.

🧵 👇🏻

The field of machine learning has been very academic which is why there is so much emphasis on learning math for it.

But, today with the frameworks that we have, not knowing how to multiply matrices is far less of an issue than knowing how to use the tools in this list 👇🏻

Yes, I know; you have R, Julia, and whatnot for machine learning but as of today, Python is the industry standard.

Get your data structures and algorithms right in Python because you will need them, here are some concepts worth learning 👇🏻

Let's say you're building the next big GPT-3 powered app that's going to take over the world.

You add a new feature to your app but it breaks the entire thing, what do you do now?

Learn Git, the ultimate version control tool.

I use this cheat sheet for all my git needs 👇🏻

You will be constantly be working on multiple packages which specific python version requirements 🐍

Virtual environments like Anaconda or Poetry will make this process much easier for you.

Who likes to see broken dependencies while running code?

We hear a lot about Facebook as a platform for manipulation - using machine learning to bypass our critical faculties and trick us into believing things that are bad for us - but the real show is in Facebook's ability to target, not manipulate.

1/

People who hold disfavored views struggle to find one another and mobilize. To find other people that feel the same way as you and make common cause with them to effect political change, you have to reveal your views and suffer social sanction.

2/

Search allows people who hold these views to find one another. If you have a deep feeling about your gender being nonbinary but don't know the words for it, you can search for communities of people who have those words, join them, and discover who you've been all along.

3/

This is why, in this moment, so many ideas are migrating from the fringe to the center: ideas about racial justice, gender identity, alternatives to market systems, etc. People have harbored these views all along, but have held back on expressing them.

4/

Being able to express yourself in private, among people who share your views, is a prelude to going public and putting your case to the wider world in hopes of effecting change.

1/🧵 Good #DataScience advice that breaks pretty much every rule you learned in class... a thread. (+full blog post linked)

2/🧵 Allow your approach to be sloppy at first and burn some of your initial time, energy, and data on informing a good direction later. That's right, you're supposed to start sloppily ON PURPOSE.

3/🧵 Have a phase where the only result you’re after is *an idea of how to design your ultimate approach better.*

4/🧵 In other words, start with a pilot phase where the objective isn't finding answers, it's finding a good approach to finding answers.

5/🧵 That means you're encouraged (ENCOURAGED!) to start with everything your stats classes told you not to do:
