Day 91: It’s Not Easy Being ‘Self-Taught’

Still studying Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). I made a bit of progress but I am still only at the stage of understanding the model. I am not sure how the code would look.

Thankfully, I found an example but it is using frameworks which don’t thoroughly break down the code. It is tough but that is just part of the ‘Self-Taught’ game. When you go ‘Self-Taught’ you never really get material packaged nicely for you with exactly what you are trying to learn. You have to dig and scavenge for the material you need to connect the dots. I can’t even imagine tackling this without the use of a search engine. What a great time to be a student of knowledge.

I use the “Self-Taught” terminology because of it’s popularity. In reality I have many teachers but they just don’t know I’m their student. I’m truly thankful for the resources I have available to me. The road is not paved but there are clearly tracks from those who have walked this path before me.
