How to get a job in Google DeepMind or How to excel in Machine Learning from scratch!

Learn ML (high-level intro):

INPUT MODE -

( ingest knowledge that you do not know)

✅ course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machin...

✅ course: https://www.coursera.org/specializati...

OUTPUT MODE -

+ at least 1 open-source project (on github or some website as public artifact)

+ 1 blog ( output something practical by structuring your knowledge)

TIME : 2 MONTH INCLUDING PRACTICE (INTENSIVE)

We are getting deeper into the mid level of knowledge pyramind for ML learning.

Learn ML (middle-level intro)

✅ course: https://course.fast.ai/

✅ course: https://course19.fast.ai/part2

Again code, code, code. Open-source some projects on GitHub. Focus on one specific DL framework.(PyTorch)

TIME : 6 MONTH INCLUDING PRACTICE (MODERATE)

• You may need to read papers before or go back to basics after reading a paper, this is not a linear process.
• This is tough and its gonna suck but learning how to read paper is important for ML engineers and researchers a lot.
• Start reading research papers and implement 1 paper from scratch. You will learn so much.
• use https://arxiv.org/

TIME: life long, gets easier with time.

You need somebody in your team who knows math for real.
