Ask HN: How to get a tech job in AI/DL or similar

Hi, 30y/o here from germany. My advice would be to take a bachelor/master in computer science. During the bachelor degree you learn basic mathematical principles like linear algebra or discrete maths. This is not only important for implementing ML/DL/AI algorithms, it also helps you to read and understand research papers. Also, most universities in germany offer deep learning courses in their master degrees. So, take the bachelor for basic stuff and specialize in the master.

You could also try to learn more about ML/DL and AI by taking the various online courses out there on the internet, like Andrew Ng Coursera machine learning course. You can also take a look at kaggle.com, there are some ml challenges and code examples.

Thanks for the answer :) I'm gonna check the pages out ...

Without a bachelor's/master's degree, it seems difficult to get started, correct?

1.I was at the top engineering school in japan but the deep learning curriculum was heavily based on the popular on line one. Basically the top professor can not spare time to dive into making curriculum. So unless you go to the top tier universities in Germany, learning on line is the fastest.

2. I can not comprehend why you can't learn most of the stuff on the course. basic math stuff are also included in them.
