Vizuara philosophy:

As we learn AI/ML/DL the material, we will share thoughts on what is actually useful in industry and what has become irrelevant. We will also share a lot of information on which subject contains open areas of research. Interested students can also start their research journey there.

Students who are confused or stuck in their ML journey, maybe courses and offline videos are not inspiring enough. What might inspire you is if you see someone else learning and implementing machine learning from scratch.

No cost. No hidden charges. Pure old school teaching and learning.
