For the last couple of months, I have been doing some research on the topic of machine learning (ML) in production. I have shared a few resources about the topic on Twitter, ranging from courses to books.  In terms of the ML in production, I have found some of the best content in books, repositories, and a few courses. Here are my recommendations for learning machine learning in production.  This is not an exhaustive list but I have carefully curated […]

Before you jump into deep learning, I would strongly advise you to do a few introductory machine learning courses to get up to speed with fundamental concepts like clustering, regression, evaluation metrics, etc.  Here is a thread including a few recent courses you can explore: This is a crosspost of a Twitter thread I published earlier this week.  Elements of AI by University of Helsinki Note: I have taken many machine learning courses online. I do some courses for fun […]

I have been studying natural language processing (NLP) since 2013, back when manual feature engineering was very popular in the world of machine learning. We have come a long way since then. I actually specialized in information retrieval and machine learning techniques for my Ph.D., particularly how they apply to social computing and computational linguistics, while at the same time developing approaches for efficient information extraction from large scale text-based data. I am fortunate to have experience with classical machine […]

Transformers have accelerated the development of new techniques and models for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. While it has mostly been used for NLP tasks, it is now seeing heavy adoption to address computer vision tasks. That makes it a very important technique to understand and be able to apply. I am aware that a lot of machine learning and NLP students and practitioners are keen on learning about transformers. Therefore, I am motivated to prepare and maintain a recipe […]

I have been doing NLP/ML research for the last 6 years. I have come across a lot of machine learning resources and papers. Today, I kept thinking about the machine learning / NLP / deep learning related blog posts (not papers) that have been transformational for me. In this blog post, I provide a short collection of a few high-impact blog posts that come to mind. This post was originally a Twitter thread. 1) The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural […]
