"I've been teaching myself the requisite maths for about a year and a half now and am finally getting where I can understand/apply most ML papers and ideas."
This sounds awesome and fast. I'm curious to know:
1) What background did you have at the start?
2) What resources did you find most valuable, and how did you use them? (e.g. did you just get a book per topic, and work through chapter-by-chapter, doing the exercises?)
3) Did you get help from friends/colleages, or were you able to work through all the materials independently?
