It’s two years after I graduated with a master’s degree, I need to do deep learning based object detection in my work. But I have no foundation. I learned a lot of basic courses, Andrew Ng’s machine learning and deep learning courses, Taiwan’s Lee Hongyi’s machine learning. After leaning the two courses of Andrew Ng, I have not gained much, and it is very difficult to absorb the content of pure English courses. I even started copying the matlab code in an attempt to strengthen my understanding. But soon forgotten all of my notes.
I found an answer in Zhihu (China’s quaro) and recommended fastai course at the end.

I started watching fastai videos in bilibili, and fortunately there are Chinese subtitles. Learning English courses is really not easy, even though I scored 500 points in CET6.

https://github.com/HaronCHou/fastai-notes this is my notes
My stupid way to learn fastai:
① Download English subtitles from YouTube first (it was uploaded by users at first, and then automatically generated in English)
② Subtitles in srt format, after downloading, remove br (word: ctrl+H ^p → space)
③ googel translate translates all subtitles into Chinese
④ Copy all the jupyter note book to the md file.
⑤ While listening to the lesson, pause and record the important content (the key points in Jeremy’s lecture) in md.
⑥ While taking notes, I can also refer to the published English notes and Jeremy’s notes links are really useful. Of course, Ican use Google’s translation in the browser to translate these notes into chinese.
⑦ Review the md notes over and over again, and mainly doing code practice in the later period. debug, experiment, change a line of code, plot a figure etc.

After reading the fastai course, I feel that I finally get started with deep learning! !!! Learn alone is so lonely, learn by myself is so sad!
After three years, I finally entered the part I wanted to study (I don’t like the master’s topic, but because the thesis requires it to be done, I don’t have time to learn deep learning by myself. And if Iwant to work in the image direction, I must do the thesis work well. )

Thanks for this generous course !

That’s all about me now!
