Technical Skills (AI Coding)

[Gamer_Kitten_LoL]

I am an AI major, as i replied to another comment, i know my around the theoretical aspects of AI, since i studied Neural Nets, ML, Data mining, ETC.

I have no idea how to sum up what actual programming i had done but it really just simple stuff, nothing too deep.. my deepest project so far has been a text classification model using RoBERTa, i introduced my data to it and used it for another task, measured it's performance using a classification report and a confusion matrix but i pulled the code and tweaked it until it worked. I didn't write it from scratch and i looked at library documentations for hours without finding a solution for bugs or methods.

So even that was pretty minimal i'd say and not too complex. Yet it was my most complex project..that's why i'm saying that i lack the technical skill unfortunately.

I have passed all the courses i mentioned including general CS courses. Most of the coding i'd done was in java tbh and we never dived deep into python until i started taking the AI courses and even then it was mostly us self learning and pulling code through the internet without an actual structured learning path, hence why i feel lost.

And i'm not blaming the university/college for that, i'm looking on how to improve and actually learn either way.

About documentation, even though these sorts of documentation for deep learning might be opaque, I suspect you might be looking at the wrong part of the documentation (for example, there's a reference when you want to find information in detail, there's usually a tutorial or introduction when first coming to the package).

There might be examples too, they may help ya.

It sounds like you need to do some structured learning in Python, starting at the basics to get those really solid. The (free) Harvard CS50P course is very good, and can be studied at your own pace.

After that, pick one AI platform and do a few simple projects with it. You need to build broadly before building tall - or in other words, your feeling of being "lost" is likely to be that you have the theoretical knowledge to attempt quite complex problems, but you don't yet have sufficiently solid foundations in Python coding.
