A Collection of resources I have found useful on my journey finding my way through the world of Deep Learning.

Courses

Stanford CS231n Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition

Coursera: Neural Networks for Machine Learning

Even though Deep Learning is a small but important subset of Machine Learning, it is still important to get a wider knowledge and understanding of Machine Learning and no course will give you a better understanding than the excellent course by Andrew Ng.

What is the next likely breakthrough in Deep Learning

Looking at The major advancements in Deep Learning in 2016 gives us a peek into the future of deep learing. A big portion of the effort went into Generative Models, let us see if that is the case in 2017.

Do machines actually beat doctors?

Competitions

Kaggle is the place to be for Data Scientists and Deep Learning experts at the moment - but you don't have to be an expert to feel the adrenalin of a $120000 competition

Kaggle competitions perfect for deep learning:

MatplotLib

Deep Learning is far from being an exact science and a lot of what you do is based on getting a feel for the underlying mechanics, visualising the moving parts makes it easier to understand and Matplotlib is the go-to library for visualisation

NumPy

NumPy is a fast optimized package for scientific computing, and is also the underlying library a lot of Machine Learning frameworks are build on top of. Becoming a NumPy ninja is an important step to mastery.
