AI/ML Engineer Roadmap (Super Short)
1. Basics
- Learn Python very well.
- Master Math: Linear Algebra, Probability, Statistics, Calculus.
- Understand Data Structures and Algorithms.
2. Core AI/ML Concepts
- Study Machine Learning algorithms (Supervised, Unsupervised, Reinforcement Learning).
- Learn Deep Learning basics: Neural Networks, CNNs, RNNs.
- Get familiar with libraries: NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch.
3. Projects
- Build small ML projects (e.g., house price predictor, digit recognizer).
- Work on Deep Learning projects (e.g., image classification, text generation).
4. Advanced Topics
- Study NLP, Computer Vision, Generative AI (GANs, Diffusion Models).
- Learn about MLOps (Model deployment, monitoring, CI/CD).
5. Real-World Skills
- Deploy models using Flask/FastAPI + Docker + Cloud (AWS, GCP).
- Understand Data Engineering basics: Big Data, Data Pipelines.
6. Consistency
- Solve challenges: Kaggle, LeetCode (ML).
- Stay updated: Read AI papers, follow top GitHub repos.
