Copilot - (my Coach):

  • AI Engineers aim to create systems that mimic human intelligence and interact with the world.
  • ML Engineers aim to build models that learn from data and improve over time.

:pushpin: Annotation for AI Engineer Roadmap: Deep Learning Specialization

  • “To strengthen this roadmap for aspiring Artificial Intelligence Engineers, consider including the Deep Learning Specialization by DeepLearning.AI. It covers essential neural architectures—CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, Transformers—and techniques like Dropout, BatchNorm, and Xavier/He initialization, using Python and TensorFlow to solve industry-relevant tasks in NLP, speech recognition, and more. These competencies are foundational for building intelligent systems that go beyond statistical modeling and interact meaningfully with the world. While this specialization is indispensable for AI Engineers, it can remain optional for Machine Learning Engineers, depending on the scope of their work. If their focus stays within classical models like regression and tree ensembles, excluding deep learning is reasonable—but the line blurs quickly when applications expand into real-world domains.”

ML methods are in general good for tabular data. DL is a great place to start for unstructured data like audio, text, and images.

Which method to use depends on the actual problem and the constraints enforced (memory & availability of gpu to name a few) on the model.

:sparkles: “Education is a great equalizer.” — Horace Mann

We cannot choose who we are, but through education;
we can choose who we become.
