      There were videos that you post about Computer Science vs Computer Engineering in TUBerlin, where can I find them. I wanted to study CS at first but my NC is not enough, now i am thinking about Computer Engineering. But I want to focus on Software instead of Hardware or electrical side of things. But maybe it is better to get a job with knowing hardware side of things too.

    I took Deep Learning and Machine Learning subjects at the university last semester and now in the current semester. The Deep Learning professor would explain the theoretical process in plain English with graphical representations before even showing any math formulas. By that time, I get quite comfortable with what I'm learning or about to learn since I know the process and the end goal. The only thing I look for in the formulas is certain details or how exactly what is happening in each step if I'm too curious. On the other hand, my Machine Learning professor, if I attend the class, all I hear is math. When I go home, all I have to study from is the slides, which are again all math with no explanation in plain English. I ended up dropping the subject. It's crazy how a teacher can make someone love/hate a subject or make them feel good/bad at the subject

      You can do this for a few months, probably even years. I did that when I studied for university exams. Then you realize your body starts to weaken and your brain is not working as it should be (e.g. attention problems) and it takes months to fix that. I think you can do this realistically for a few weeks, however, it is not maintainable in a long term. What is much better is to create a robust long-term daily regime you can follow for a longer period of time in what you can maintain your health and productivity. I would advice this to a younger myself.

I can relax while going through derivations knowing that it is pure mathematical realm and i can tackle it separately.

    The thing that gets me about Deep Learning are RNNs, then going through LSTMs and GRUs. I try to memorize what happens throughout the entire RNN with activation layers and backwards propagation through time. It is just a lot of over-convoluted complex stuff. I just started learning Machine Learning and Deep Learning in August of 2023.

    Pretty good points. A couple comments from a 16+ year software engineer with a Master's in CS:
    - Understanding that a sum corresponds to a for loop is great, but in practice, it should still almost always be thought of as a function. You should think in self-documenting ways, and this will also lead to easier optimization later. For example, libraries that can vectorize functions like sum can perform operations on large datasets much faster than a for loop would.
    - Good advice for examining ML codebases, but more generally _follow the data flow._ Knowing how data flows through a system makes understanding the pieces along the way much easier. This is also a good way to estimate code quality. If the data flow of the system is easy to follow, it might be good code. If it's hard to follow, it's almost certainly poorly structured code, and changing or adding anything will be a struggle without refactoring first.

    Thinking of different degrees. I saw and experienced statistics, computer science, physics, and cognitive science and contemplated the curricula at my university (Helsinki). Many times I felt these fields to go deep in their own direction, if one wants to go primarily towards ML or AI. Then the internet is full of learn X quickly types of content.
    However, what I get from your experience is, that perhaps your/some ML curricula is streamlined in a way to get optimal amount of depth and breadth specifically for ML. For me the big question is, how deep into math one should go, because prioritization gives you other skills too...

  • @mariyanzarev6423
    @mariyanzarev6423 Před měsícem +1

    You speak some straight up truth in this video, these are super helpful insights into how to learn. One thing I would say is for programming you kind of go against the super good advice you give for learning maths. When trying to understand a big codebase, the debugger will not help -- the debugger is there as a magnifying glass into all the details. But just like your example in maths, code is just human ideas expressed a certain way, so understand the higher level ideas of functions or modules, and go deeper as your understanding improves. The debugger is great for when you are debugging the behaviour of your code, or if you are very familiar with the code someone else wrote.

    • @borismeinardus
      @borismeinardus  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you!
      I definitely see your point! Perhaps I should have better described the scenario where the debugger is very useful to understand a code base or model.
      When I e.g. wanted to better understand a certain Transformer model, I understood the high level idea, but then wanted to understand the details. I then imported the huggingface implementation, set my breakpoint, and went into the code. I got to see the data preprocessing, data flow through the model, and so on. That‘s where I fell in love with using the debugger to understand code/ large code bases.
      But yes, you will most likely not want to have a certain high level idea of what you are looking at, but I still believe the debugger is one of the best ways of learning to understand code :)
      I hope this makes sense ☺️

  • @sloanlance
    @sloanlance Před 25 dny +3

    I'm enjoying your video thus far. Some constructive criticism: The summation code shown at 02:25 is wrong. It modifies the loop index variable, "i" and the "range(n)" function stops before 10, giving only 0-9. Your code has a value of "10" in "i" after the loop completes. However, if you change the variable "i" to "x" on lines 3 and 4 and increment the value passed to "range()", "i" ends up with the value "10". An equivalent one-liner: "print(sum(1 for i in range(n+1) if i != 4))".
    Although my advanced math is VERY rusty, I'm certain that answer is incorrect. You must add the value of the loop index variable with each iteration, NOT 1. That is: "print(sum(i for i in range(n+1) if i != 4))".

    @9:46. I agree that memorizing or coding opimtization is overkill. I wanted to learn everything by scratch and learnt that's a fool's errand. I learnt that the hard way. In deep learning, learning back propagation for FNNs, CNNs, RNNs are good ideas. But it is better to concentrate on the matrix algebra aspects of the forward prop than focus on the optimization part since most of the back prop is efficiently done in Tensorflow or PyTorch or for any ML algorithm in Scikit-learn. The mathematical derivation of any algorithm is more important than the cumbersome calculations. I took the Google's Tensorflow certification exam last year. What I learnt from the exam is the core idea of fitting the inputs and outputs in the correct matrix or numbers or any data augmentation or manipulation that better fits the model than raw data. To sum up, the practical aspects of the ML is all about how we frame the problem and how efficiently we solve the problem for real life use and debug our model when it goes crazy or throws up errors.

      So, in any case you should learn the fundamental ML techniques (ideally before delving into deep learning). Now, when it comes to data science, then you would probably want to indeed focus a bit more on the classical algorithms and xgboost, since when it comes to DS, your main job will often be to work with tabular data and analyse that so that you can then potentially apply a rather simple ML algorithm (e.g. xgboost).
      P.S. I will soon publish a video on the different ML jobs. Perhaps that might give you some more insights :)

    Best advise is actually the last one. I hate how the first few are not so useful because it's already obvious that the key to understanding machine learning is understanding the math and the implementation. could use some discussion about the best beginning topics such as understanding of some functions that are widely used

    • @borismeinardus
      @borismeinardus  Před měsícem

      The last one was also really important to me.
      It's often difficult to intuitively asses what is obvious to others when one falls into the "curse of knowledge" where those things are obvious and trivial to oneself.
      The other 4 tips are there to help people be less scared of math and code (which many are) and realize that it still requires practice, but is less "impossible" than you might initially think (before knowing these tips).
      I hope this makes sense :)

    I am a college student and has already join some ML/DL courses. But I always think that the college resource cannot compare to some big companies like OpenAI, Google, Meta and so on. Lots of ML techniques have been mature by them. What could we do as just a college student? Thank you !

    • @borismeinardus
      @borismeinardus  Před měsícem +3

      That is very true. The college courses can't really keep up because everything is moving so fast. It is very hard for them to update the whole curriculum of a course each semester. Nevertheless, there should exist seminars at college where you discuss recent research in smaller groups. That could be one option. Otherwise, it is up to yourself to keep up :/
      College teaches the fundamentals of ML and DL, which you definitely need. But beyond that, you need to keep up on your own, which college will hopefully have prepared you for by providing a good fundamental understanding.
      That said, it's just moving so fast, you can't feasibly keep up with everything. Try to find a domain that interests you where you can dive deeper and also work on respective projects.

    I’m a bachelor college student and I wanna start with research (as long term goal) in the field of ml. I learned the basics and did a few projects. As I said, my long-term goal is to provide truly new insights in this field. Do you have any advice to get there and maybe how to find a person that could help on my way? Are there any contact persons or institutions in German universities?

    • @borismeinardus
      @borismeinardus  Před měsícem +1

      I would say, your best bet is to look around your college (or other ones if you want to relocate) and find departments that do research in a domain that interests you. Get to know other PhD students or even professors that can be your advisors.
      Your bachelor thesis can be the first step of doing research. In your masters, you can then work as a part-time student researcher and/ or on cool projects as part of your program (that give credit points).
      Either way, it always comes down to how much effort you put into your work, but I can highly recommend to find people who are ahead of you who can mentor/ advise you. At college, you should be bale to find such people :)
      Good luck and have fun learning! 💛

E.g. when looking at LLMs, you could want to fine-tune a model on your native language where you might need to collect your own data!

      it‘s difficult to give specific advice without much context. But the best advice I can give is to keep trying. Learning an algorithm and don‘t understand it? look at other resources. Watch 5 different videos explaining the algorithm or read blog posts until you have understood it. Every person learns at a different pace and has a different starting point. You might need to recursively learn each mathematical concept used for the algorithm, but you won‘t be able to avoid that.
      As described in the video, the math (for ML at least) ist not the most difficult one. It is hard, but not rocket science.
