6 Years of Studying Machine Learning in 26 Minutes

I spent the past 6 years studying ML. I went from not knowing that it even existed to landing my dream job as an ML researcher! In this video, I want to summarize what I did each year, talking about all the mistakes and failures and occasional successes.
Enjoy 💛

Literally 2 minutes in and he's describing my CS degree "you don't know why you're learning it", but just a "it has a reason" gives me hope.

[RickGladwin]

I finished my Physics degree over 20 years ago, and I’m starting an MSc in AI this year, after almost 2 decades in software engineering. Thanks for telling us about your journey and your work!

[PhotoninDark]

I'm going to start my sem 5 at my uni, and my academic journey has so far been similar to yours. Thanks for the inspirational content, Boris.

I graduated from my Computer Application Degree in 2021. Right after that I started working in IT Support to be financially independent. Now after 2.5 years, I feel very lost and believe that I am not using my full potential anymore. I have started coding in my free time and found my passion for it again. I wish to be a ML Engineer. This video brings motivation. Thank you

Hey Boris, It was so nice hearing about your journey into the world of ML. I am in my third year(5th semester) of engineering and pursuing electronics and communication engineering (somewhat similar to your computer engineering), interested in AI, embedded systems, and Machine learning. I found your story quite relatable...kudos man! love your content !

Your video inspired me. I shifted careers and I know ML is hot right now. That's why I plan on differentiating myself by applying ML to what I finished in college: Chemistry. I think it's still an uncharted territory with very little literature. So I am excited. And just like you, RL does something to me. There's something interesting and awesome in building agents that can decide on their own. I will probably specialize in this part of machine learning. 😀Hoping for the best!

Hey boris congratulations and all the best, Thanks for video man
I'm halfway through in the domain and had lots of doubts and needed a perspective to see things which you gave so nicely and really well presented. Learnt a lot I mean this is what I actually wanted and needed
I just want to say imma be so grateful for this tysm

[Atlas]

Man you’re such a down to earth and personable guy, and Its great how you discuss the emotions and failures along the way. It makes things more relatable even though you’re at such a level ahead of the majority of people

[fabriai]

Congratulations, Boris. Your first hand experience and advice is useful, and your determination is admirable.

Damn Bro, was ist passiert? Das erste mal, als ich deinen channel entdeckt habe hattest du noch 23 Abonnenten?! Und siehe da fast 53.000! Hast du dir verdient, toller content! Beste Grüße fellow TUBler :D

[ericfiumano]

Congrats for the channel Boris.

Here a 6y experience Business Analyst who's graduated in Bachelor Economics and he's starting Master in Data science this year cause I want to get more into depth of IT stuff and I'm literally learning many different things from anywhere before even starting the university.

As I work 80% remotely and the company I work for accepts well studying workers, I'm investing my "spare time" to build something that could allow me a better future, like working as Business Analyst/Project Manager on ML/AI fields.

I already developed some skills in data managing using SQL and attending several online courses such as Data Analytics and IBM Data engineering (Coursera) thus I'm very eager to start.
Even if I got Python basics and tried some ML scripts, I don't feel much proficient to start by my own without external help but I'm gonna learn

[AmanAgarwal-gvil]

I've had a similar journey, the video inspired me it's never too late to learn anything new. Thank you ❤

[rosau]

I really appreciate that you put emphasis on your trials and tribulations before ending up where you wanted to. As a second year CS student at a top university, I often feel the pressure to do everything at once. However I agree with you and the message I got from all of my academic mentors: Building real expertise in a research field takes time!

Grüße aus München;)

[rasmusfoy]

You are awesome and have the attitude that will get you to where you want to Bex

[divyanshpandey]

If I had a senior like you, I might have excelled much earlier. Kudos to your explaining and your journey till now. Much success to you.

[AnweshaChowdhury-wrtt]

Best wishes for your future Boris🔥
Thank you for your videos and advice.
They have motivated me tremendously and have lead me to finally get a freelance job as a ML Engineer😊
I wish you even more success in life!

[davidc]

So much good work you''ve done, congrats, really keen to see what will happen in the next couple years

[Harish_Prince_]

Bro is humble and brilliant at the same time.

[kshitijk]

Really Insightful!!, All the best for your future journey mate!
