deep-learning-keras-tensorflow

I wrote a blog post exactly on that: http://p.migdal.pl/2016/03/15/data-science-intro-for-math-ph... (including the data science part). I strongly advice for: - using Python in the interactive environment Jupyter Notebook, - starting with classical machine learning (scikit-learn), NOT from deep learning; first learn logistic regression (a prerequisite for any neural network), kNN, PCA, Random Forest, t-SNE; concepts like log-loss and (cross-)validation, - playing with real data, - it is cool to add neural networks afterwards (here bare TensorFlow is a good choice, but I would suggest Keras).

Also, a very nice tutorial for Keras: https://github.com/leriomaggio/deep-learning-keras-euroscipy...

With that number you can train a model from scratch. Alternatively, you can retrain the last layers (it requires much less data). The easiest way is to use some well-known architecture (e.g. VGG16) and go. See: https://github.com/leriomaggio/deep-learning-keras-euroscipy...
