Hi @moein,
We are also starting on chapter 1 of the deep learning book this week!
We just completed reading the article “The Matrix Calculus You Need for Deep Learning” in preparation for reading the deep learning book and we’ve been meeting regularly every Wednesday at 6PM-9PM PST (since March 2020) over at the fastai discord server.
We’d love for more people to join!
We basically start at 6PM just to check in and spend 2.5 hours reading followed by a discussion for 30-45 minutes starting at 830PM. We usually try to prepare questions while reading and go around the group discussing the answers.
Here’s the link to the fastai discord server
Hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Butch
