# Suggested Readings for Learning "Deep"

Abstract

This document lists some on-line resources for the readers who are interested in learning machine learning and deep learning.
As per my experience, taking a well arranged on-line course, i.e., this one, would be the most efficient way to solidly learn machine learning.
In addition, here also lists some advance materials for well understanding deep learning in terms of practical and theoretical aspects.

# The Basics

This is a prerequisite for machine learning.

• Machine learning: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/
If you decide having a solid knowledge of ML, taking this course will be an efficient way to do so. During this course, the assigned matlab homeworks are suggested to be done for a better understanding.

• Deep learning with less material: http://ufldl.stanford.edu/tutorial/
If you already have some basic knowledge of machine learning and desire moving to deep learning earlier, one of a great choices is to follow this tutorial which focuses on only the prerequisite of deep learning. In addition, I also suggest you to finish the related matlab assignments.

• Deep learning with rich material: http://deeplearning.net/tutorial/contents.html
This website also teaches the deep learning but with a different programing language python for implementation. This place also contains rich details of deep learning structure and relevant theories.
