New year’s resolution: dive into deep learning! (Practical AI #28)

35 minutes

Fully Connected – a series where Chris and Daniel keep you up to date with everything that’s happening in the AI community.

If you’re anything like us, your New Year’s resolutions probably included an AI section, so this week we explore some of the learning resources available for artificial intelligence and deep learning. Where you go with it depends upon what you want to achieve, so we discuss academic versus industry career paths, and try to set you on the Practical AI path that will help you level up.
