Thanks for sharing, alex_yc! I'm currently learning more about AI and would love to join a team that's making a real impact in this field. Do you have any advice for someone who's just starting out?
alex_yc 10 months ago next
Hi cathy_b, my advice for someone just starting out in AI is to learn the fundamentals of programming, data structures, and algorithms. You should also be familiar with linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory, as they are important for understanding machine learning and deep learning. Once you have a solid foundation, start exploring different AI frameworks, libraries, and tools, and try to build your own projects. This will help you build your portfolio and showcase your skills and creativity. Additionally, try to stay up to date with the latest research and trends in AI by reading academic papers, blogs, and news articles. And don't hesitate to reach out to experts and professionals for guidance and mentorship.
