I want to learn artificial intelligence and machine learning. Where can I start?
Starting your journey in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can be exciting and rewarding! Here’s a structured approach to help you get started:
1. Understand the Basics
Mathematics: Brush up on essential math concepts, including:
Linear Algebra (vectors, matrices)
Calculus (derivatives, integrals)
Probability and Statistics (distributions, Bayes' theorem)
Programming: Learn a programming language commonly used in AI/ML:
Python is the most popular choice due to its simplicity and extensive libraries.
