I'm still wrestling with the resources for the DL sub-fields. So much has changed, and there's been an explosion of resources. I'm going to dump my notes here in case it's valuable; and I'll incorporate them as gold-standard picks above over time.

Stanford Courses

https://www.youtube.com/@stanfordonline/playlists. I'm still trying to figure out their system. Stanford had the best YouTube lecture recordings for a while, but they started pulling some resources due to legal battles. And they started becoming disorganized. They have dedicated YouTube channels for Stanford, Stanford Online, and Stanford Engineering. If you figure out their system, please let me know.

MIT Courses

Similar to Stanford, I'm having trouble groking their organization. Here's one playlist as a starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alfdI7S6wCY&list=PLtBw6njQRU-rwp5__7C0oIVt26ZgjG9NI. And again, if you figure out their organization strategy, please let me know.

Deep Learning for Computer Vision - Michigan Online

General Computer Science Master's degrees is recommended, even for students primarily interested in ML / AI / DS.

Foundational Strength & Future-Proofing: This is a major factor. Core CS principles (algorithms, data structures, systems, theory) are the bedrock upon which ML/AI is built. Understanding these deeply allows for better comprehension of why ML algorithms work, how to optimize them, how to integrate them into larger systems, and critically, how to adapt when the AI landscape inevitably shifts. A strong CS foundation makes you a more versatile and resilient engineer/scientist.
Industry Perception: Many top tech companies and research labs still hold a traditional, rigorous CS education in very high regard, even for specialized roles. They often prefer candidates with strong fundamental CS skills, knowing they can train them on specific ML libraries or techniques. A degree from a top-ranked CS department like Georgia Tech or UT Austin carries significant weight. While specialized degrees are gaining acceptance, the prestige and recognition of a core CS degree from these institutions are arguably still more universally acknowledged, especially outside niche AI startups.
Specialization Within the Degree: Crucially, these are not just generic CS degrees. Both OMSCS and MSCSO offer specific specializations or sufficient elective flexibility to create a deep focus in Machine Learning, AI, Robotics, Data Science, etc. Students can tailor their coursework heavily towards their interests while still benefiting from the broader CS context and degree title. For example, the OMSCS ML specialization is very comprehensive.
\"De-Facto\" Status & Value Proposition: OMSCS and MSCSO have established themselves as the benchmarks for affordable, high-quality, online graduate CS education from top-tier universities. While reputable online Master's programs specifically titled \"Data Science\" or \"Artificial Intelligence\" do exist now (e.g., programs from UIUC, Stanford, Berkeley often have online components or related degrees, though often much pricier or with different structures), none have quite achieved the unique combination of low cost, widespread recognition, and established track record that OMSCS and MSCSO possess in the online space. They remain the clearest \"de-facto\" choices when balancing quality, cost, and reputation for an online Master's relevant to ML/AI.
Avoiding Over-Specialization Risk: Sometimes, hyper-specialized degrees can be perceived as narrower or potentially fad-driven (though ML/AI is hardly a fad, the specific focus of a degree might age). A CS degree signals broader capability.

While good specialized online ML/AI/DS Master's programs are emerging, the general CS Master's from top-tier, affordable online programs like OMSCS and MSCSO currently represents the most robust, widely respected, future-proof, and high-value \"de-facto\" recommendation for someone seeking a formal online graduate credential to enter or advance in the field. They provide the essential foundations and the opportunity to specialize deeply.

Excels at creating short (often slightly longer than two minutes, despite the name!), digestible video summaries of cutting-edge scientific research papers, with a strong focus on AI, machine learning, computer graphics, and robotics. Its major strength and defining characteristic are the visuals. Dr. Zsolnai-Fehér uses clips, diagrams, and results from the papers he discusses to make complex concepts much more understandable. The visual component is integral to the experience. While you can listen to YouTube videos as audio-only, Two Minute Papers doesn't have a dedicated, official audio podcast feed. Furthermore, listening without the visuals would mean missing a significant part of the explanation and context, especially for papers dealing with visual results (like image generation, simulation, or robotics). Some sources specifically state it's not a podcast but include it in lists due to its value for staying updated efficiently.

This book by Aurélien Géron is widely considered the golden standard practical companion for learning ML. The 3rd edition (late 2022) is crucial as it updates the second half to use Keras 3, which can run on TensorFlow, PyTorch, or JAX backends, mitigating concerns about being locked into TensorFlow. The first half provides an excellent practical tour of fundamental ML concepts using Scikit-Learn, complementing Ng's course perfectly. It teaches how to build, train, and evaluate models using industry-standard tools. Essential for bridging theory and practice.

Note: PyTorch has gained significant popularity, especially in the research community, due to its Pythonic feel and dynamic computation graphs. But HOML remains a the top pick here for the following reasons.

Foundational ML (Part 1): Scikit-Learn is King: The first ~10 chapters of HOML, which cover the core \"Basics\" of machine learning (linear/logistic regression, SVMs, trees, ensembles, dimensionality reduction, clustering), primarily use Scikit-Learn. Scikit-Learn is the industry standard library for these algorithms and is completely framework-agnostic. Whether you use TensorFlow or PyTorch for deep learning later, you will use Scikit-Learn for these foundational tasks. This crucial part of the book is unaffected by the TensorFlow/PyTorch debate.
Deep Learning (Part 2): Keras 3 is Multi-Backend: This is the key change in the 3rd edition. The second half of the book, which introduces neural networks and deep learning, uses Keras 3.
- Keras 3 is Framework-Agnostic: Unlike earlier versions that were tightly integrated with TensorFlow, Keras 3 is designed to run on multiple backends, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX.
- You Choose the Backend: You can configure Keras 3 to use PyTorch as its backend. While the book's code examples might originate from a TensorFlow context (since Keras was historically TF-based), the Keras API itself is consistent. Learning Keras 3 allows you to leverage its user-friendly API while having the option to run it on a PyTorch backend.
- Benefits: This means the deep learning concepts and Keras API skills you learn are transferable. You are not locked into TensorFlow. You can write Keras code and execute it using PyTorch.

While Ng provides intuition and HOML provides practice, ISLR offers the most accessible yet rigorous theoretical grounding in fundamental ML concepts from a statistical perspective. It's considered a more approachable version of the classic \"Elements of Statistical Learning\" (ESL). The 2nd edition includes updated topics and labs available in both R and Python. Understanding the 'why' behind the algorithms is crucial, and ISLR is arguably the best resource for this at the foundational level without being overly mathematical like ESL or PRML. Often used as a university textbook. The authors also provide video lectures.

While not a primary structured learning path, StatQuest is the gold standard for intuitive video explanations of specific ML algorithms and statistical concepts. When you hit a wall understanding concepts like PCA, Gradient Boost, Logistic Regression, etc., from Ng's course or ISLR, StatQuest videos provide incredibly clear, visual, and memorable breakdowns. Use this as an essential supplement to clarify concepts as needed. Its popularity and clarity make it a must-have tool in the learning arsenal. There are multiple playlists for various topics, so I'll break out a few in their relevant locations in the resources subtrees.

Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) - Georgia Institute of Technology. Launched in 2014, OMSCS remains arguably the pioneer and benchmark for affordable, rigorous, and reputable online Master's degrees in Computer Science from a top-tier university. It offers a Machine Learning specialization track alongside others (Computing Systems, Computational Perception & Robotics, Interactive Intelligence). Its low cost (~$7,000 total) combined with Georgia Tech's strong CS reputation makes it incredibly high value. While rigor is high and requires significant self-discipline (common to all online programs), its graduates are generally well-regarded. A CS degree provides broad, future-proof foundational knowledge, highly valued even for specialized ML/AI roles.

Online Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCSO) - The University of Texas at Austin. Launched a few years after OMSCS, UT Austin's MSCSO quickly established itself as a direct peer and top alternative. It offers a very similar model: affordable (~$10,000 total), fully online, rigorous coursework from a highly-ranked CS department. It also offers flexibility in course selection, allowing students to effectively create an AI/ML focus. It shares the benefits of a foundational CS degree.

Rather than writing your own server-code with FastAPI (the traditional ML deployment path), learn AWS nuts-to-bolts. They offer not only hosted server modules (like auth via Cognito, storage via S3, and security via IAM / VPC) - but also the full end-to-end machine learning data-prep, training, and deployment lifecycle. I loved aCloudGuru, but my company paid the hefty subscription fee. Follow the certification paths, even if you don't take the cert tests.

While the certificate market has become saturated since 2017, and no certificate carries the weight of a reputable Master's degree as a formal credential for securing top-tier ML/AI roles, certain programs excel at delivering foundational knowledge. The primary strength of certificates like Andrew Ng's highly-regarded Machine Learning and Deep Learning Specializations lies not in the credential itself for job hunting, but in the quality, structure, and recognition of the education provided by a leading figure. They form an essential learning path for self-starters needing to grasp core concepts. While many other certificates exist (e.g., platform or framework-specific), these DeepLearning.AI specializations remain the most universally recognized choices for demonstrating foundational ML and DL understanding.
