A Few Useful Things to Know about Machine Learning [pdf]
When I first read this paper, I found it to be immensely helpful. I'm new to Machine Learning but I was so inspired by this paper when I first found it that I wanted to build up resources around it.<p>Here's the result: <a href="https://github.com/hangtwenty/dive-into-machine-learning" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hangtwenty/dive-into-machine-learning</a><p>I want this guide to be a good resource for other people like me, who are curious to get into Machine Learning by this process:<p>1) hacking
2) coming to understand what you hacked
3) more structured, in-depth learning<p>It can be intimidating to approach Machine Learning this way. For a long time it felt like I couldn't do steps 1 or 2... and had to start with 3. That's intimidating!<p>Pull requests welcome, I want this to be a good resource! Thanks all.
