Why learn stuff? I am real smart anyways!! to Lets Learn!

This transformation is what causes you to become from a blog-reader to a blog-writer. Reading blogs is useful for gaining short-term knowledge, and entertainment, yet for long-term memory, reading blogs is not enough. And before you go, here's how you can learn.

Coursera


Coursera is a non-profit site which provides the best education online. The world's top universities have made courses with their great educators. And you can access all of it. Compared to other online ed sites (like Udacity, Udemy and edX) the price is way lesser.
To be honest, a lot of tech content, like the Deep Learning blogs, has been written from the knowledge gained through Coursera courses & Specializations.
Now the question arises-

What should I learn?

That is something to ask yourself. Yet if you are interested in tech,( and you're on a tech blog, so chances are that you are,) then here are some courses that you gotta be interested in-

  • AI For Everyone by deeplearning.ai - This is the course if you're an entrepreneur interested in improving your business using AI, or just someone interested in it, and want to know more about it. And the teacher is no one other than the very Co-Founder of Coursera & Stanford Professor, Mr Andrew Ng. His way of teaching is excellent, and this course covers all non-technical parts of AI, so no code required. This course gives the learner the mindset of needed for AI.

    • Financial Markets by Yale - This course introduces finance and related topics to non-finance professionals or learners. Emphasis is given to finance leadership, and this is by Yale University, and thus no second thoughts needed!!
    Other great courses for Intermediate ML Enthusiasts are-

    Basics in Animation for Beginners in Flash 8 Now that you know about the basics of Flash 8 and the two basic types of tweening, get to know about the few basic tools that you will need to make a basic Flash 8 movie. If you're new around here, check out the Part-1 of the Basics in Animation for Beginners in Flash 8 .    Check out our blog LightSpeedAC for more amazing content.  Before we get started, even if you're not new around here, I would recommend you to revisit the Part-1 to revise the basic constituents of Flash 8.  Let Us Get Started This blog post will focus on the main basic tools that you need to use to make a simple, yet good Flash movie/animation.  1. Pen Tool - The Pen Tool is used to draw precise paths, like straight lines and smooth curves. You can draw straight lines or curves with this tool, and later adjust the angle and length of straight-line segments and the slope of curves.  The steps to use the Pen Tool are:...

    LightSpeed intro to ConvNets ________________________________________________ Unless you're experienced or have read the LightSpeed intro to DL, please see here before reading this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this post, you'll learn about- What are Convolutions? Why Convolutions work great (optional) Keras and TensorFlow (compulsory) How to make a Neural Network that can classify pictures depending on objects! What are ConvNets? Now, what are  ConvNets ? They are Neural Networks having Convolutions. Okay, so what are Convolution s ?  Convolutions, informally, are mathematical functions. Now, to convolve the above matrices, we take the second smaller matrix, then we imprint it on the first possible 2 by 2 chunk of the other as shown below. So, this will be the first value in the output matrix- = (4*1) + (2*0) + (0*0) + (3*1) = 7 Similarly, you may be able to calculate that the next ...

    Basics of Animation in Flash 8 for Beginners  This blog will focus on the introduction to Flash 8 for Beginners, uses of Flash 8 in this ever-growing technological world. This blog will also include basic things that you need to know as a beginner in Flash 8 and the basic types of animations in Flash 8. If you're reading this blog post, you must have Flash 8 installed. You can get your 30-day free trial on Adobe's website and need to later buy it. You will be given a serial code. What is Flash 8? Macromedia Flash is a program that is used in creating interactive, and animated media such as motion graphics, videos, presentations and websites. You can control an object’s actions and behaviors using the Behavior panel and the Timeline. For more advanced control you can use Actionscript, Flash's programming language that is very similar to Javascript. Flash 8 or Macromedia Flash 8 was developed by Macromedia. Macromedia was acquired by Adobe in December of 2005. Sinc...

      What is the TensorFlow: Data & Deployment Specialization? The TensorFlow: Data and Deployment specialization is deeplearning.ai' s new group of courses and is intended to teach you how to practically use your DL skills to make practical applications. It is co-taught by Andrew Ng and Laurence Moroney, both seasoned veterans in AI and DL. I will give a detailed review of the first course below. I am trying to keep the content coming while doing the course myself! 1. Browser-Based models with TensorFlow.jS This course is intended to teach you how to set up a browser-based model using TensorFlow's browser equivalent- TfjS.  It shows the necessary JavaScript required for training models. It must be noted that tfjs is not direct TensorFlow! It's a different version, and they have few differences, which are correctly taught in the course. If you are used to Andrew Ng lectures, this isn't like that. The course assumes that you know Deep Learning, so most talks...

    LightSpeed intro to DL In this post, you'll learn about- Basic necessities of DL theory Keras and TensorFlow (optional) How to make a Neural Network that can identify digits in a picture! Basic Necessities of Deep Learning Theory Now, what is Deep Learning ? It is, plainly the art of training Neural Networks . Okay, so what are Neural Networks? They are just another type of Machine Learning model, which apparently work like the brain. And now, two questions remain- 'What do they do?' and 'How do they work?' The answer to the first question is that they first predict some output for a problem using layers , with randomly initialized parameters. Then, after seeing how far they are from the actual truth, they change their settings to obtain lesser loss or distance from the truth.  Now for the second question, the answer is much less mystified and more mathematical. It computes a non-linear function (usually a ReLU of the (input if it's the fir...
