Redox looks awesome, my impression is that this is more about learning by implementing from scratch. I could imagine feeling more comfortable contributing to something like Redox after working with this course.
I took it several years back and enjoyed it. I liked that the course had you implement the whole training pipeline yourself rather than using a framework (not sure if the newer class does the same). While you would likely not do this in practice, I felt it helped my intuition when using the frameworks since I had a sense of how the internals were working.
Thanks for this. I'm excited about this course. Personally I never really liked the course material in the developer docs. It seems structured, but you can go into way too many directions at once. At least that's what happened to me
Looks promising, signed up. Like how it offers a bridge between basics and advanced. Lots of courses offer an introduction but you're left to work out the rest yourself.
Looks like a good course.
I think it would benefit if they added some module on implementing some basic Linear system of equations solvers, like gradient or steepest descent. Or even GMRES/MINRES or so.. The amout of knowledge that i gained from trying to implement these was remarkable.
Completely agree. I love the pragmatic nature of the course and the general attitude (anyone can do DL). It's probably the one MOOC I'd recommend to every developer or CS student. It's really mind blowing how good you can perform compared to what was state of the art not too long ago. Not quite finished with #1 either but can't wait for part 2. The pitch/promise for part 2 is that it'll basically take you to the bleeding edge of current (2017) research...that sounds rather exciting.
The course sounds brilliant, the right mix of technical and crafty. I'm not sure I'm capable of actually doing it though - I struggle with most hardware stuff.
