Realistically, it takes five steps. At a glance, the five steps are simple. But when you dig in, you realize that people have 15+ years of experience in each of the individual steps. At a glance, their insight into the individual problems will seem way too big to actually use, but as you dig deeper, you’ll find edge case after edge case that uses those insights.
So, it’s really five steps, but very smart people have devoted their lives to figuring out each one of those. We’re lucky to live in a time where we can stand on those shoulders, but it can take quite the leap to get up there in the first place.
And of course, at each point you’ll get some nice rewards. It feels good. It’s exciting. And my inner twelve year old feels like this is why we fell in love with tech in the first place.
So, it is quite hard but the fact it exists means it’s obtainable. If you get into it, I have a lot of respect for you and hope you have a ridiculous amount of fun. On the other hand, if you get into it and just don’t enjoy it, who cares? There are many other interesting fields!!
As someone who hasn't really done much deep learning, I've always wondered if the work itself is fullfilling or if it is just the fact that there is absurbly cool outcomes? The math isn't super complex, it seems the majority of the effort is data cleaning and tuning. Is it just a massive labor of love? I also worry that the labor itself doesn't build on itself and becomes obsolete knowledge like a web framework.
