Tanmay’s Advice to Learn AI | 6th | week 4 |.
There are lots of misconceptions, they feel like machine learning has its own independent, isolated subject, and if I learn it, I can go ahead and implement machine learning algorithms with these things. But really if you think about it, machine learning is just another algorithm in the toolbox of algorithms when it comes to programming. Albeit in some cases it can be much more powerful than other algorithms, and then on a very fundamental level, it is another algorithm. So before you get into the field of machine learning, before you get into the field of AI, it's very important that you understand how to code. Since machine learning is relatively complex technology, having a very advanced knowledge of how computers work; how exactly coding works. Then even sometimes a back-ends behind compilers, really does help you on your journey of learning how to code machine learning algorithms. The reason I say this is because machine learning isn't just a regular algorithm that you implement, its not just path finding or search or something of that sort. It's special because it requires intense hardware acceleration.
