Ask HN: Resources to Learn AI/ML Fundamentals

4 points by anonymzz 1 year ago | 3 comments

I'm interested in learning the fundamentals of AI and machine learning—especially the core concepts like vectors, linear algebra, and foundational intuition behind how things work.

Can anyone recommend a solid books, article series, or lecture series that covers these topics well? Ideally something beginner-friendly but rigorous.

Karpathy's book is very good. I learned Pytorch from it.

If you don't know Linear Algebra at all you might want to get a textbook (I learned from Anton's, I'm not sure it matters.) You'll also want to have a rough understanding of vector calculus if you never took that (but you wouldn't need to be good enough to pass a class.)

This might sound crazy but I've had good luck asking AI to write me a lesson plan for learning things, topics and etc.

Not a bad idea. Thanks
