Most classes teaching the algorithms, but a lot of ML is about the empirical intuitions that develop from experience. This class systemizes this process. Assessment is next experiment prediction. [引用 @tatsu_hashimoto]: Deep learning is often taught as a sanitized collection of facts and math. But work at the frontier of AI is messy and empirical. Our new class, Deep Learning Alchemy, aims to teach the art and science of deep learning in the hands-on spirit of Language Modeling From Scratch. Students build intuition by running experiments on small LMs, then test it through prediction quizzes: given an unseen c…
