Hi Jeremy,

I think the non-beginner topic wasn’t created so I made one and updated the wiki-I hope that’s okay :smiley:

A bit of OT question: is it okay if we snapshot an image of the class at some point for a social media post? Given that it’s not yet public yet, I wasn’t sure

Jeremy says you learn best when you read the questionnaire first. Is this the questionnaire for lesson 1?

To anyone that might feel a bit uncomfortable with the top down learning methods:

I had written extensively about my struggles in “How not to do fastai”, I cover my pains of someone who studied in university-of how difficulty it was to learn something in top down fashion :smiley:

We had also shared this in a “reverse” interview where Jeremy kindly interviewed me. I hope this helps :pray:

The questionnaire is in the book. Check the fastbook repo notebooks for the Jupyter notebook versions of the book.

Here is the chapter for lesson 1:

Thanks for your introduction. I saw both ‘bird.png’ and ‘bird.jpg’ in the presentation earlier. Just wanted to point it out.

Is there somewhere I can get more info on the project which used recurrence plots as input to DL? (mentioned by Jeremy in the lecture just now; I missed if there was a reference)

On the the topic of frameworks: I would love to hear how you feel about the JAX ecosystem and if you had a chance to play with it.

Thanks in advance!
