Earlier this month, I've started learning from a couple of Deep Learning tutorials/courses/books. I had been thinking of picking up Deep Learning again for some time, but could not push it into my schedule. I do have a background in Machine Learning and Data Science, but I have never used Deep Learning methods in production applications yet. I have studied them in the past.
