EDIT: Also, I strongly concur with the fast.ai recommendation for deep learning, especially if you're starting from a background in software.
Some stats about our mentors:
- There are about 60 of them now
- Geographic distribution is ~1/3 in the Bay Area, ~1/3 in the Toronto region, the rest across the USA and Canada
- About 50% are deep learning engineers, the other half are a combination of ML devops, data eng, traditional ML (clustering, boosted trees, etc.)
- About half work in (or are alums of) the AI labs of major companies such as the ones whose logos are on the website
Why we haven't listed some of them on our website yet: no good reason. We'll probably do this soon. It's a good idea.
