The Wall of Neural Networks and Relentless Challenge

Hello, this is Haruta Watanabe.

First, I apologize for the delay in this post.

While I usually develop mobile apps and websites, I have now completed the 30th week of my studies with a view towards a career as a software engineer and data scientist. This week was one that approached the more advanced core of machine learning.

Week 30 Reflection

This week, continuing from last week, I learned deeply about neural networks.

Including the concepts and mathematical approaches, the difficulty level was extremely high compared to what I have learned so far, and there were times when I hit a wall in my understanding. However, considering this to be a major climax in mastering data science, I am proceeding with my studies with the determination to never give up and firmly grasp the knowledge.

Week 31 Goals

In week 31, I will powerfully drive both the consolidation of basics and advanced specialized learning.

• Continued Study of Algorithms and Data Structures As an unwavering foundation for software engineering, I will focus on learning algorithms and data structures, continuing from last week.
• Energetically Tackling the Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab Lectures In the Matsuo Lab lectures (DL Fundamentals course) I am currently taking, I will boldly challenge the highly difficult areas and thoroughly carry out my input and assignment completion.

Going Forward

I will continue to post a summary of my previous week’s reflection and my goals for the current week every Monday.

Thank you for your continued support.
