You don’t start out by studying the theory of harmonics and how strings vibrate and the circle of fifths. Instead, you would take someone to a concert or get them to start playing an instrument.
Some of the take homes from lesson 1:
the more technical things:
Examples of deep learning:
Finally:
Start of your fast.ai journey! In today’s lesson you’ll set up your deep learning server, and train your first image classification model (a convolutional neural network, or CNN), which will learn to distinguish dogs from cats nearly perfectly.
