Show HN: Comprehensive and Intuitive Introduction to Deep Learning

3 points

2 years ago

Dear HN -- I am doing a multi-part web series on teaching AI, specifically Deep Learning. Learning AI is not easy. The topics are highly technical and cover a broad range of areas without offering any intuitive or clear entry point for someone new to the field. I find that most tutorials focus on heavy math making them inaccessible to most people; or treat topics only superficially; or cover concepts in a bespoke manner without a clear framework for tying them together.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to learn the depth and breadth of AI in an intuitive and digestible way? It is with this goal that I am conducting a multi-part web series titled -- "A Comprehensive and Intuitive Introduction to Deep Learning" (CIDL). The first web series is made of 4 seasons, with each season having 3-4 episodes.
