I just started the fast.ai MOOC (practical deep learning for coders), and boy, I much prefer reading through a tutorial than sitting through hours upon hours of videos. I looked for transcripts and/or a written version of the content and came up empty-handed. Can anyone recommend a solid, written, introduction, covering similar material?
More on the intuition/theory side for NNs, but Michael Nielsen’s book is highly recommended: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com
For NLP, you can try this extremely slick interactive course on spaCy (highly recommended Swiss Army knife library for NLP) from package author Ines Montani: https://course.spacy.io
The Keras tutorials are solid, here’s one on seq2seq models: https://blog.keras.io/a-ten-minute-introduction-to-sequence-...
For more cutting edge NLP, it looks like the fast.ai course covers the Transformer model (the basis of BERT, GPT-2, et al. This is a great overview of that architecture: http://nlp.seas.harvard.edu/2018/04/03/attention.html
And PyTorch implementations of Transformer models can be found here: https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-pretrained-BERT/blob/...
LMK if anyone wants more, I have a learning resource hoarding problem.
