How to start learning neural network programming?

Question

IT education

A new topic for me, I don’t know what to grab onto ... I would also like to hear advice on mathematics, which sections to pay attention to?

Answer 1

methodically, seriously and for a long time to immerse yourself in the topic

Dive)) There is nowhere more methodical)

Answer 2

Why neural networks? Anecdote on the subject:

- And why do you have a village called Astafyevo?
“They say that once Peter the Great and his retinue stayed with us, and at night one soldier fell asleep on guard duty. In the morning the head of the guard asked the king how to punish him. But the king was in a good mood and said: "Leave him!". Since then, the village has been called Astafyevo.
- Ah, now I understand why the neighboring village is called Ipatyevo.
And on the case:

1. Learn the programming language Python or R (or both)
   
2. Remember high school math
   
3. Learn linear algebra, statistics, combinatorics and probability theory
   
4. Finally, start reading about machine learning and data science. You can learn from books, or you can take material on the Internet - it depends on you, whichever is more convenient for you.
   

Answer 3

seriously and for a long time is to choose and complete a training program.
Alternatively, Yandex School of Data Analysis . Look at the introductory tasks (for example, 2016 )
In English, the choice is wider - there are ML programs on Coursera, Udacity.

Answer 4

For acquaintance and general understanding, you can watch these lectures - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPk8m_r6fkUSYmvgC... (Even if the second part is completely about computer vision)
And then. for example, open contests on Kaggle, see which ones are designed for neural networks, look at the proposed solutions, understand, write / modify it yourself, send.
Another option is to look and choose courses on udemy.com, where there are courses on Theano\TensorFlow\PyTorch\Keras.

Answer 5

You can start with a book written by the author of Keras Francois Chollet "Deep Learning with Python"

This book focuses specifically on neural networks.
