Started with Machine learning. It has been on my mind since quiet some time.
Though I did pretty well with Machine Learning course from Coursera two years back, I have almost forgotten it.
My interest in it again kindled by Deep learning. I felt I should give a shot to it. So, I am back!
I have spoken to few people to find out if I should again go back to Machine learning in order to learn Deep learning. By the time they answered the question, I got what I wanted to do!
It's better to start with Machine learning and then move to Deep learning. And the reasoning behind it is, Deep learning is just one of the tool from the tool box of a mechanic.
If we just learn about this one tool, we tend to look at all the problems from the this tool perspective. It's like you only know how to work with a screw driver and hence, you try to fix any work with a screw driver. It's good to know one tool really well, but before that it is important to have an overview of all other tools as well!
With that clarity in mind, I have started with a book called Machine Learning with R. I am on the third chapter now. Will keep writing whatever I learn from now on!
I haven't got any interesting data to work on till now. I need to file some RTI and get data.
