\n\nbut professor andrew ng showed me like what is backpropagation and what is chain rule of derivatives and how those equations work under the hood to make neural net working for solving real life problems <3 and that is when i felt in love with math for the first time\ni know it is too late,if i had teacher like this in school college then i could be the most attentive student like i was in andrew ng's class.
\n\nwhen i first started my ML journey at that time in my university every CS student was busy solving competitive programming problems but i found machine learning very interesting so wanted to learn ML but i saw no one around me has got even basic ML knowledge, so no one around me could guide well for machine learning. i remember these are the sentences that i received back then for my question about ML career :
\n\nmy question : \"i am loving machine learning,i want to become a data scientist, is it a wrong idea / decision?\"
\n\nanswer 1 : \"mobassir,machine learning is the hottest subject now but what happens if after 10 years some other technology replaces machine learning? what will you do? so do codeforces competition\"
\n\nanswer 2 : \"in Bangladesh very very less companies work on machine learning problems, you won't get job with this skill so learn web/android framework and regularly solve competitive problems only\"
\n\nanswer 3 : \"if you don't have math/statistics knowledge then don't go for machine learning\"
\n\ni got a lot of answers like those and became extremely frustrated about my career and very worried about the decision that i should make,i mean i had to answer these questions : \n1. mobassir you are not gonna get any help from your surroundings as they don't have ML skills,so you still want to take risk?\n2. mobassir ML job market is almost empty in bangladesh,what if you don't get any job with this skill?\n3. you were among top 50 poor students in school,college who has lots of lacking,with such poor math/statistics knowledge you still want to learn ML? what if after few months you find it extremely difficult?
\n\ni answered everything like this : \n1. i will learn from zero and ready to spend as much time as it requires\n2. i don't need anyone,internet is my friend\n3. passion shouldn't get beaten by job market(i don't care about money,job and for me :\"passion matters\" and there should always be way of earning little money for survival and that's more than enough for very simple person like me).\n4. why am i asking about my career decision to nearby people? they will always tell me what to do based on what they are doing (they all tried to convince me that nothing is more important than competitive programming and without it you are nothing :) because they were all following the same path)so i should listen to \"MYSELF\" only and that is what i learnt from the alchemist book by Paulo Coelho :)
\n\nand then this frustrated kid got lots of motivation from professor andrew ng(only teacher who could make me understand that ML matters,no matter where you are from) so thanks to my most favorite teacher :)
\n\nafter finishing that i was like \"i know basic ML,i will do kaggling now\"
\n\ni signed up in kaggle and found interest for computer vision but i saw now i need to learn a lot of new things that i didn't learn in andrew ng's machine learning class but i saw even a lot of people from non coding background here in kaggle and doing great job already,so i was extremely motivated and told me that \"you spend 3 years on C programming and finished teach yourself c book\" and solved few competitive problems as well,you at least know C,look a lot of people here came from physics,BBA etc background,if they can then you should do even better :)
\n\ni see a lot of great teacher like andrew ng here and i also can always ask silly questions to them(if i don't understand and they never mind replying)\nthey are people like sir chris deotte,heng,andrew etc etc so i have nothing to worry about now :)
\n\ni started kaggling less than 2 years ago
\n\nThank you so much brother @mdfahimreshm and everyone here for your wishes! Without the support and guidance from the kaggle community, I wouldn't be where I am today. So thank you very much! :)
\n\nToday i am very proud that i rejected all surrounding people's guidance and followed my own, which was toward \"my passion\" \nThe best decision i ever made is when \"i listened to myself\", otherwise i couldn't meet with so many awesome people like i have had in kaggle, thank you for teaching me \"Machine Learning\" :)

\n\ni just wanted to pass HSC otherwise whole society will blame my family,i did pass HSC by copy pasting neighbour students papers and that time i learned that how important it is to help others,without their help i would surely fail in all subjects and never could enter in any university also could commit suicide for that like a lot of students do every year. so in university i also helped a lot of students so that they don't fail :) i knew that i was worst in college not because i am a worst student,it is because i didn't study at that time and it was all about interest and i had full interest for cricket,so that time i invested full time in cricket field and busy practicing and i also played 2nd division cricket from my cricket academy, my full interest was on cricket and not on study and that was my fault :) society doesn't care if you are a cricketer and not playing for national team, everyone around me said that \"you won't be able to catch up engineering in university as you missed even HSC basics,so better take very simple subjects for university\"\ntrust me,no one said you can do it except my mother and a lot of trolled whenever i said \"i want to go for engineering\".
\n\ni entered in university and took \"software engineering\" and trust me within 3 months i lost all my friends,because i started topping in university and my all friends started hating me and gossip like \"how he is getting marks like that? it must be very easy to get marks from his university\"\naccording to their speech it was very difficult to get good CGPA from their university where it is very easy from my university \"even though my university is among top 10 in Bangladesh and in qs asia university ranking 2019 it achieved 6th place : http://m.thedailynewnation.com/news/194328/diu-in-qs-asia-university-rankings--2019
\n\npeople who said to me \"don't do Machine Learning\" are the people that never did machine learning and of course not from silicon valley :) so why should i care much?
\n\npeople who said don't go for engineering because you know nothing about HSC subjects are the friends of mine that doing BBA,math,physics,bangla course in national university and struggling to pass even though they were among top 30 students always in school college,so what's the point?
\n\nthose who said \"don't invest time on ml,instead focus on competitive programming problems\" are the ones that always message me now and ask \"how do i start machine learning?\" because they saw my little success in kaggle :)
\n\nmy advice : \nwork hard so that your friends can hate you otherwise you are not doing something special :)\na good teacher will never disappoint you like that,have a look at teacher like chris deotte here in kaggle :)\nyou are seeking motivation from a wrong teacher and that's your fault\nwhen people says you can't do it , that is when you need to do it efficiently and prove otherwise you are doing self insult and proving that \"you really can't\", \"forget about others opinion, the moment you personally think you can't do it,you really can't then\"
\n\nhave a look at virat kohli,when any bowler shows aggression then he replies back with 4 or 6/sixes

\n\nbut professor andrew ng showed me like what is backpropagation and what is chain rule of derivatives and how those equations work under the hood to make neural net working for solving real life problems <3 and that is when i felt in love with math for the first time\ni know it is too late,if i had teacher like this in school college then i could be the most attentive student like i was in andrew ng's class.
\n\nwhen i first started my ML journey at that time in my university every CS student was busy solving competitive programming problems but i found machine learning very interesting so wanted to learn ML but i saw no one around me has got even basic ML knowledge, so no one around me could guide well for machine learning. i remember these are the sentences that i received back then for my question about ML career :
\n\nmy question : \"i am loving machine learning,i want to become a data scientist, is it a wrong idea / decision?\"
\n\nanswer 1 : \"mobassir,machine learning is the hottest subject now but what happens if after 10 years some other technology replaces machine learning? what will you do? so do codeforces competition\"
\n\nanswer 2 : \"in Bangladesh very very less companies work on machine learning problems, you won't get job with this skill so learn web/android framework and regularly solve competitive problems only\"
\n\nanswer 3 : \"if you don't have math/statistics knowledge then don't go for machine learning\"
\n\ni got a lot of answers like those and became extremely frustrated about my career and very worried about the decision that i should make,i mean i had to answer these questions : \n1. mobassir you are not gonna get any help from your surroundings as they don't have ML skills,so you still want to take risk?\n2. mobassir ML job market is almost empty in bangladesh,what if you don't get any job with this skill?\n3. you were among top 50 poor students in school,college who has lots of lacking,with such poor math/statistics knowledge you still want to learn ML? what if after few months you find it extremely difficult?
\n\ni answered everything like this : \n1. i will learn from zero and ready to spend as much time as it requires\n2. i don't need anyone,internet is my friend\n3. passion shouldn't get beaten by job market(i don't care about money,job and for me :\"passion matters\" and there should always be way of earning little money for survival and that's more than enough for very simple person like me).\n4. why am i asking about my career decision to nearby people? they will always tell me what to do based on what they are doing (they all tried to convince me that nothing is more important than competitive programming and without it you are nothing :) because they were all following the same path)so i should listen to \"MYSELF\" only and that is what i learnt from the alchemist book by Paulo Coelho :)
\n\nand then this frustrated kid got lots of motivation from professor andrew ng(only teacher who could make me understand that ML matters,no matter where you are from) so thanks to my most favorite teacher :)
\n\nafter finishing that i was like \"i know basic ML,i will do kaggling now\"
\n\ni signed up in kaggle and found interest for computer vision but i saw now i need to learn a lot of new things that i didn't learn in andrew ng's machine learning class but i saw even a lot of people from non coding background here in kaggle and doing great job already,so i was extremely motivated and told me that \"you spend 3 years on C programming and finished teach yourself c book\" and solved few competitive problems as well,you at least know C,look a lot of people here came from physics,BBA etc background,if they can then you should do even better :)
\n\ni see a lot of great teacher like andrew ng here and i also can always ask silly questions to them(if i don't understand and they never mind replying)\nthey are people like sir chris deotte,heng,andrew etc etc so i have nothing to worry about now :)
\n\ni started kaggling less than 2 years ago
\n\nThank you so much brother @mdfahimreshm and everyone here for your wishes! Without the support and guidance from the kaggle community, I wouldn't be where I am today. So thank you very much! :)
\n\nToday i am very proud that i rejected all surrounding people's guidance and followed my own, which was toward \"my passion\" \nThe best decision i ever made is when \"i listened to myself\", otherwise i couldn't meet with so many awesome people like i have had in kaggle, thank you for teaching me \"Machine Learning\" :)

\n\ni just wanted to pass HSC otherwise whole society will blame my family,i did pass HSC by copy pasting neighbour students papers and that time i learned that how important it is to help others,without their help i would surely fail in all subjects and never could enter in any university also could commit suicide for that like a lot of students do every year. so in university i also helped a lot of students so that they don't fail :) i knew that i was worst in college not because i am a worst student,it is because i didn't study at that time and it was all about interest and i had full interest for cricket,so that time i invested full time in cricket field and busy practicing and i also played 2nd division cricket from my cricket academy, my full interest was on cricket and not on study and that was my fault :) society doesn't care if you are a cricketer and not playing for national team, everyone around me said that \"you won't be able to catch up engineering in university as you missed even HSC basics,so better take very simple subjects for university\"\ntrust me,no one said you can do it except my mother and a lot of trolled whenever i said \"i want to go for engineering\".
\n\ni entered in university and took \"software engineering\" and trust me within 3 months i lost all my friends,because i started topping in university and my all friends started hating me and gossip like \"how he is getting marks like that? it must be very easy to get marks from his university\"\naccording to their speech it was very difficult to get good CGPA from their university where it is very easy from my university \"even though my university is among top 10 in Bangladesh and in qs asia university ranking 2019 it achieved 6th place : http://m.thedailynewnation.com/news/194328/diu-in-qs-asia-university-rankings--2019
\n\npeople who said to me \"don't do Machine Learning\" are the people that never did machine learning and of course not from silicon valley :) so why should i care much?
\n\npeople who said don't go for engineering because you know nothing about HSC subjects are the friends of mine that doing BBA,math,physics,bangla course in national university and struggling to pass even though they were among top 30 students always in school college,so what's the point?
\n\nthose who said \"don't invest time on ml,instead focus on competitive programming problems\" are the ones that always message me now and ask \"how do i start machine learning?\" because they saw my little success in kaggle :)
\n\nmy advice : \nwork hard so that your friends can hate you otherwise you are not doing something special :)\na good teacher will never disappoint you like that,have a look at teacher like chris deotte here in kaggle :)\nyou are seeking motivation from a wrong teacher and that's your fault\nwhen people says you can't do it , that is when you need to do it efficiently and prove otherwise you are doing self insult and proving that \"you really can't\", \"forget about others opinion, the moment you personally think you can't do it,you really can't then\"
\n\nhave a look at virat kohli,when any bowler shows aggression then he replies back with 4 or 6/sixes
\n\nthat's the power of \"positive attitude\" :)

\n\nas a software engineering background i only had knowledge of basic coding but not much in ml/dl field, if people like you never answered my simple questions then i could leave kaggle 1 year ago and a lot of other mobassir could leave too :)
\n\nmost of the times i wake up from sleep and in kaggle i see 5/10 notifications already saying \"chris deotte posted/commented\"
\n\nthank you for teaching me machine learning everyday sir :)
\n\ni hope someday you will master pytorch and teach a lot of pytorch to pytorch lovers in kaggle, tensorflow lovers getting most benefits from your top works(that's why i also forcefully use your tensorflow kernels sometimes because very few people can write better pytorch models than your tensorflow models and you leave very small amount of room for improving your models :) )
\n\nit will be of great help if you try pytorch, you are already a tensorflow geek,why not do pytorch now? :)\ni am desperate seeing you using pytorch in near future and teaching us pytorch :)
\n\na lot more to learn from you sir, not only as a kaggler but also as a human.
\n\ni have discovered long ago that the secret of your success is \"Ego free mind\" which let's you learn a lot by sharing and teaching.\nthank you for everything sir :)

they call it passion,yes they are right :)\ni was always poor student in school college(precisely : top 30 worst students), why? in school college i was always asked to solve mathematical equations,memorizing graphs but i didn't know how we can use those maths in real life for problem solving so i never got interest solving those because i was like \"if i don't know what i am going to do in life with this math then i am not gonna store them in my head just for getting marks\" (no school/college teacher could teach me why those equations are important in real life and how do we use them in problem solving)\n\nbut professor andrew ng showed me like what is backpropagation and what is chain rule of derivatives and how those equations work under the hood to make neural net working for solving real life problems <3 and that is when i felt in love with math for the first time\ni know it is too late,if i had teacher like this in school college then i could be the most attentive student like i was in andrew ng's class.\n\nwhen i first started my ML journey at that time in my university every CS student was busy solving competitive programming problems but i found machine learning very interesting so wanted to learn ML but i saw no one around me has got even basic ML knowledge, so no one around me could guide well for machine learning. i remember these are the sentences that i received back then for my question about ML career : \n\nmy question : \"i am loving machine learning,i want to become a data scientist, is it a wrong idea / decision?\"\n\nanswer 1 : \"mobassir,machine learning is the hottest subject now but what happens if after 10 years some other technology replaces machine learning? what will you do? so do codeforces competition\"\n\nanswer 2 : \"in Bangladesh very very less companies work on machine learning problems, you won't get job with this skill so learn web/android framework and regularly solve competitive problems only\"\n\nanswer 3 : \"if you don't have math/statistics knowledge then don't go for machine learning\"\n\ni got a lot of answers like those and became extremely frustrated about my career and very worried about the decision that i should make,i mean i had to answer these questions : \n1. mobassir you are not gonna get any help from your surroundings as they don't have ML skills,so you still want to take risk?\n2. mobassir ML job market is almost empty in bangladesh,what if you don't get any job with this skill?\n3. you were among top 50 poor students in school,college who has lots of lacking,with such poor math/statistics knowledge you still want to learn ML? what if after few months you find it extremely difficult?\n\n\ni answered everything like this : \n1. i will learn from zero and ready to spend as much time as it requires\n2. i don't need anyone,internet is my friend\n3. passion shouldn't get beaten by job market(i don't care about money,job and for me :\"passion matters\" and there should always be way of earning little money for survival and that's more than enough for very simple person like me).\n4. why am i asking about my career decision to nearby people? they will always tell me what to do based on what they are doing (they all tried to convince me that nothing is more important than competitive programming and without it you are nothing :) because they were all following the same path)so i should listen to \"MYSELF\" only and that is what i learnt from the alchemist book by Paulo Coelho :)\n\nand then this frustrated kid got lots of motivation from professor andrew ng(only teacher who could make me understand that ML matters,no matter where you are from) so thanks to my most favorite teacher :)\n\nafter finishing that i was like \"i know basic ML,i will do kaggling now\"\n\ni signed up in kaggle and found interest for computer vision but i saw now i need to learn a lot of new things that i didn't learn in andrew ng's machine learning class but i saw even a lot of people from non coding background here in kaggle and doing great job already,so i was extremely motivated and told me that \"you spend 3 years on C programming and finished teach yourself c book\" and solved few competitive problems as well,you at least know C,look a lot of people here came from physics,BBA etc background,if they can then you should do even better :)\n\ni see a lot of great teacher like andrew ng here and i also can always ask silly questions to them(if i don't understand and they never mind replying)\nthey are people like sir chris deotte,heng,andrew etc etc so i have nothing to worry about now :)\n\n\ni started kaggling less than 2 years ago\n\nThank you so much brother @mdfahimreshm and everyone here for your wishes! Without the support and guidance from the kaggle community, I wouldn't be where I am today. So thank you very much! :)\n\nToday i am very proud that i rejected all surrounding people's guidance and followed my own, which was toward \"my passion\" \nThe best decision i ever made is when \"i listened to myself\", otherwise i couldn't meet with so many awesome people like i have had in kaggle, thank you for teaching me \"Machine Learning\" :)", "955571": "Congratulations @mobassir , I have learned from your notebooks many times.
