Join the Deep (Learning) Focus Community!
I teach readers about deep learning research via short, understandable overviews that are released a few times each week.
What is this?
Deep (Learning) Focus is a newsletter that I release twice a week that focuses on research in deep learning and artificial intelligence. I pick a single topic every month (roughly), and my newsletter provides a series of overviews explaining current research in this area. To make these overviews understandable, I distill the topics as much as possible and provide extensive references and explanations of all background information needed to deeply understand a concept. My goal is to:
Provide brief overviews of important ideas a few times a week.
Make these overviews understandable and comprehensive.
Focus on the same topic for some time so that readers begin to build an expertise on chosen topics.
Deep (Learning) Focus is my way to introduce readers to new topics, provide pointers for learning more, and indirectly inspire new ideas, inventions, and directions for research.
How is it different?
Most newsletters I read focus upon overviews of recently-published papers and oftentimes lack a cohesive topic. While this is useful for staying up to date with current research, truly understanding a paper’s method and contribution is difficult without understanding its context. The Deep (Learning) Focus newsletter changes this format by focusing upon a single, cohesive research topic in each series, providing relevant context, and overviewing several papers on the same topic, thus allowing the reader to gain a more comprehensive understanding of chosen topics.
Why should I sign up?
My newsletter is not focused upon keeping up-to-date with the most recent papers. Rather, it is focused upon expanding one’s expertise in the areas of deep learning and artificial intelligence. By following my newsletter over time, I hope that readers will gain a true, working understanding of a wide variety of topics. Despite their brevity, I aim to make the posts comprehensive, such that the reader can quickly and non-trivially increase their understanding of a particular topic in each post.
