Hi zo_ey, welcome’s to fast.ai forum. I honestly don’t think it is worth buying a lot of textbooks (this is of course totally my personal opinion). If you would like to read something, go to http://arxiv-sanity.com which is a nicely curated list of the latest and most relevant papers on AI on arxiv.
Otherwise, better than reading is actually doing. This course provides you with all you need and including the fast.ai documentation you’ll have enough to work through. If you then want to become an AI researcher, you might want to dive deeper in the subject with textbooks ;). But for now I would suggest to use all this course offers and don’t overload yourself with additional information.

Hi there! It makes me wonder why 224 is used for image size. According to several sources the original 224 was probably a typo in the Krizhevsky et al. architecture, and should have been 227 instead. One of the most famous one is linked by v3 course as well:
http://cs231n.github.io/convolutional-networks/
As stated here, pytorch ignores the last padding:

Or is it a coincidence and 224 is actually a correct value?
Can someone help me to understand the details? Thank you.

Hi, I have been using Google Colab and I was able to use GPU for the last couple of months. Now, the GPU isn’t working. I was wondering what I do now. I have been using it and am using the same code and saving the GPU hardware accelerator. Maybe I have done something that Google didn’t like. I am a university professor who is just working through tensorflow 2.0 tutorials and using Google Drive that is sponsored by Utah State, which is where I teach. Please give me some guidance…

Hello! First post here. Having a lot of fun going through the deep learning course.

I have a question about the computation of the loss function in the collaborative filtering lesson 4. How do I go about creating a new topic on the forum? I don’t see a “create new” sort of button anywhere. Am I missing something?

Hi, I am new to this community. I wanted to try out fast.ai to attempt open images AI challenge by google. Can someone help me on how to get started. I was planning to use kaggle for training models. But Couldn’t get started due to the huge size of the data. Any advice on how to load data or which resources to use will be of great help.

Depending on your level of expertise, you can dive right in. For beginners, fastai tutorials are a great way to start.

Kaggle forums may be a better place to ask this question.

Sorry I cannot post this as a topic, can you help me?

Nowadays I am using graph databases more and more in jupyter notebook and there is a few ideas how to get the data in and out to use ans wrangle, and I am thinking about including it in nbdev.

The reasons are the following:

  • You do not need much for and initial data discovery you just have to connect to a graph database or convert a table into a graph. (https://www.kaggle.com/ironben/networkbased-eda-nlp-rec-engine)
  • I usually forgot I implemented one useful small function and I do not have the expertise to develop a nice package, but I think the user base and expertise around the nbdev could benefit and help me with it.
  • Using graph in machine learning is heating up it is good to be ahead of the curve.

What do you guys think?
