I've been trying to get into AI/ML/Deep learning because I feel like it will broaden the types of side projects I can undertake. I have one project in mind which involves analyzing written communication.

I've looked online for resources and I've found a bunch of Youtube videos that go over the high level concepts:

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwIo3gDZCVQ

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njKP3FqW3Sk

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPYj3fFJGjk

For reference, I have 0 AI/ML/DL experience but I having been coding for awhile and I'm familiar with Python. These videos are quite long but I plan to start building a small toy app to validate my understanding. I'm just not sure if I'm taking the best approach to learning these concepts. I want to start working with the various tools ASAP because I believe that I learn better by doing.



I would advise you to follow this free course :

The associated (free) book is a go to reference too.


Thanks for the reference! It's been awhile since I've taken statistics so this will be a good refresher.
