Ask HN: Resources to Learn AI/ML Fundamentals

4 pointsanonymzz9mo ago3 comments

I'm interested in learning the fundamentals of AI and machine learning—especially the core concepts like vectors, linear algebra, and foundational intuition behind how things work.

Can anyone recommend a solid books, article series, or lecture series that covers these topics well? Ideally something beginner-friendly but rigorous.

Karpathy's book is very good. I learned Pytorch from it.

If you don't know Linear Algebra at all you might want to get a textbook (I learned from Anton's, I'm not sure it matters.) You'll also want to have a rough understanding of vector calculus if you never took that (but you wouldn't need to be good enough to pass a class.)

This might sound crazy but I've had good luck asking AI to write me a lesson plan for learning things, topics and etc.

Not a bad idea. Thanks
