I'd like to see more discussions of "fake learning" vs "real learning" in AI/ML fields.☺

Do you think one should get completely comfortable with all the prerequisites of a method discussed in the paper? Sometimes there is too much of that (for a not-so-experienced reader)? What kind of code implementation details should you care about, if any, aside from reading the paper?

Thanks for teaching us. These type of content is really rare in on YT.

Would you use similar steps in finding your own topic to research about for a dissertation?
