avcontentteam 12 Jul, 2020 • 10 min read

Introduction

One of the best way to get better at machine learning and deep learning is to watch a lecture from an expert and work your way along with it. If you do so, you get the best of both the worlds – you learn from the experts across the globe and also get hands on knowledge.

In this article, I have provided a list of YouTube videos, which you can use to improve your knowledge in these areas.

 

How should you watch them ?

You’ve got to follow a ritual (Just Kidding!). For your ease, I have created a ‘to be followed’ sequence / order of these videos. I have categorized the videos into: Machine Learning, Neural Networks and Deep Learning. If you are new to this, I’d recommend you to follow the sequence for better understanding. If not, feel free to follow your own route and let me know, how it turns out.

If you feel that the list is overwhelming, take one byte at a time! Consider this as a collection of references to be consumed over time. These videos range from a few minutes to hour long videos. For your convenience, I have also mentioned the summary against each video for the overview purpose. Go ahead and check them out.
