I'm now in week 4 of the first round of this MOOC (here: http://course.fast.ai/ ) and it's incredibly intuitive, highly recommended. It's less about the mathematics, more about what has been proven to work, and based on these scores I've gotten quite high in the Kaggle competitions the classes go through (Cats & Dogs, State Farm, Titanic) The Jupyter noteboks are sometimes still quite messy and deserve some cleanup,…

How high have you gotten on dogs VS cats? Just curious, am submitting there as well.:)

I was #150 but moved down a bit, one guy I'm doing the course with got into the 90s (but I think moved down a bit too)

excited. cant wait. literally. you got a source for this?

"This 7-week course is designed for anyone with at least a year of coding experience, and some memory of high-school math. You will start with step one—learning how to get a GPU server online suitable for deep learning—and go all the way through to creating state of the art, highly practical, models for computer vision, natural language processing, and recommendation systems. There are around 20 hours of lessons, and…
