I am exploring some frontiers in machine learning techniques for gaze / visual behavior classification. I am really interested in how Deep Learning yields sophisticated results for complex tasks. Listed below are some references I used to read :

  1. What’s the difference between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning ?
  2. What is deep learning : A Pete Warden article in O’Reilly
  3. NVidia Deep Learning page
  4. MIT Press Deep Learning Book
  5. Deep Learning Dot Net Reading List
  6. Quora’s : What’s Deep Learning ?
  7. The Extraordinary Link Between Deep Neural Networks and The Nature of Universe

Useful links from academia :

  1. Homepage of Geoffrey Hinton
  2. University of Toronto Machine Learning Group

Some readings in progress :

  1. Kevin P Murphy’s : Machine Learning – A Probabilistic Perspective
  2. Rogers and Girolami’s : A First Course in Machine Learning 1st Edition

Learn deep learning, from novice to advanced, self-paced
See the original post here

Tutorials have been chosen to maximize learning curve, i.e. learn the most in the shortest amount of time. Tutorials cover topics from basic deep learning all the way to research done within the last 1 year! They cover significantly more material than a typical deep learning course and take lesser time.

Expected time to completion: 4-6 weeks (20-30 sessions)

Pre-requisites: Calculus (specifically, differentiation)

We’ll cover the following topics:

  • Machine Learning basics (what it is, gradient descend)
  • Deep Learning basics (what it is, neural networks, computational graphs, back-propagation)
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (mostly applied to computer vision)
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (mostly applied to natural language processing)
  • Generative Adversarial Networks and Variational Auto-Encoders (mostly applied to image generation)
  • Deep Reinforcement Learning

Pro-tip: If you want to skip sections or tutorials, mark them as completed.
