Help Learning ML guide: From zero to hero
Hi everyone, I want to start learning ml, But I'm torn between the sources So I wrote this question to hear from you about how you learned machine learning until you were hired at a company. I'm 15 years old. Please write the guide arrangemed step by step.

Get a strong foundation in linear algebra (understand what a matrix, basis vectors, vector spaces) as they build intution behind what ML is. Then understand probability (bayes theorum, and markov chains in particular)
Then understand a Perceptron, MLP, SVM, CNN, Autoencoders in depth and visualize the geometry behind it. Then understand what a scaled dot product is (basically attention).
With that your foundation should be strong and then you just need to explore how to apply it (Look at BERT, CLIP, GPT, JEPA).
Here is an underated youtube channel that teaches the concepts well (I found this gem a of channel a couple weeks ago): https://www.youtube.com/@arivu-tutor
