Material: Machine Learning Basics #4

Open mictebbe opened 3 years ago

mictebbe commented 3 years ago

Here are some Resources to get you started on Machine Learning. Some I have consumed myself, some I have picked because of their reputation. One important thing to note is that there is an abundance of material on ML and a topic can be explained in different ways, using different metaphors and with different outcomes in mind. Find the one that fits you best!

Books:

https://www.amazon.de/Hands-Machine-Learning-Scikit-Learn-TensorFlow/dp/1492032646 (The first book I read on ML. Very well explained)

https://www.deeplearningbook.org/ (a classic)

Courses:

Deep Mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOh7QUZGyiU&list=PLqYmG7hTraZCkftCvihsG2eCTH2OyGScc (especially Deep Learning for NLP is potentially relevant for us)

Coursera https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

Stanford http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/

probably some course from MIT :)

A lot of stuff on Youtube.

3Blue1Brown has 2 videos on Neural Networks, that might help you build an intuition

Important technical concepts:

Natural Language Processing, especially:

(Topic Modeling (Latent Dirichlet Analysis))

Depending on your Topic possibly:

Clustering (https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/clustering.html)

Transformer, Attention, BERT (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762)

Dimensionality Reduction (especially T-SNE, UMAP, PCA, MDS, maybe Self-organizing Maps)
