Deep Learning

- Videos:

• Ng’s deep learning courses: Coursera. This specialization is so popular but only the first three (4 by Oct 31) courses are open. Prof. Ng covers all a lot of details and he is really a good teacher.
• Tensorflow. Stanford CS20SI: Youtube
• Stanford 231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (Spring 2017): Youtube, Couse page
• Stanford 224n: Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning (Winter 2017): Youtube, Course page The self-driving car is a really hot topic recently. Take a look at this short course to see how it works. MIT 6.S094: Deep * Learning for Self-Driving Cars: Youtube, Couse page
• Neural Networks for Machine Learning by Hinton: Coursera. This course is so hard for me but it covers almost everything about neural networks. Prof. Hinton is the hero.

- Books:

• Deep learning book by Ian Goodfellow: http://www.deeplearningbook.org/. Very detailed reference book.
• ArXiv for research updates: https://arxiv.org/. I found it the mobile version of Feedly is useful to follow ArXiv. Also, try https://deeplearn.org/ or http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/top.
