How I got into deep learning

I ran an education company, Dataquest, for 8 years. Last year, I got the itch to start building again. Deep learning was always interesting to me, but I knew very little about it. I set out to fix that problem.

Since then, I’ve trained dozens of models(several state of the art for open source), built 2 libraries that have 5k+ Github stars, and recently accepted an offer from answer.ai, a research lab started by Jeremy Howard. Understanding the fundamentals is important to training good models Finding interesting problems to solve is the best way to make an impact with what you build You don’t need a lot of GPUs I feel strongly that the more widely you can distribute high quality training data, the lower the risk of 1-2 organizations having a monopoly on good models.
