DS&ML Learning Resources

Data Structures and Algorithms :

The following resources are for learning basic Algorithm/Data-Structures Stuff that is invaluable for any field of CS. We shall need lots of basic concepts from these domains and a strong base in this regard is required for serious research in any subfield of CS, especially math/computation intensive fields like Data Science and ML/DL.

• MIT OCW 6.006 (Introduction to Algorithms)
• Stanford Algorithms
• UC SD Data Structures and Algorithms

Test Yourself :

• Hackerrank Algorithms Track
• Hackerrank Data Structures Track

Visualization and Application using p5.js :

• Daniel Shiffman : Algorithms and Graphs
• Daniel Shiffman : Genetic Algorithms

For Deep Learning, trying to implement a basic 3 layer Neural Network in Numpy for solving the XOR problem proves to be a great kickstarting task. ( Refer to DL CheatSheet and other online tutorials, including YouTube if you get stuck) Additionally go over to Kaggle and try to solve a few problems, taking cues from solved ipython notebooks and kernels.
