How do I level up my brain? (Studying AI for college exam)

AI Thread Summary
Studying AI independently poses challenges, particularly due to a lack of effective teaching resources and personal learning difficulties, including Asperger's syndrome. The course content is extensive, making it unrealistic to master every topic; instead, a basic understanding is the goal. Comprehension issues are exacerbated by difficulties in processing text, leading to a preference for slides and videos. Engaging with practical exercises like programming and calculations may enhance understanding, but time constraints limit this opportunity. Overall, finding effective study methods tailored to individual learning styles is crucial for success in mastering AI concepts.

I am studying AI for college exam. https://www.ioenotes.edu.np/ioe-syllabus/ioe-syllabus-artificial-intelligence-ai-378

The thing is here I am totally on my own as I don't have teacher due to some random reason. Even if I had, they were worst so it doesn't matter I have teacher or not.

I have noticed that I lack the mental capability to learn these concepts. I am guy who loves numericals ie solve everything using mathematics. But IDK why, I find it hard to comprehend. It is really taking a toll to my education. How do I level up my brain and make it ready to study these complex topics easily.

The problem that I find here is that I have hard time reading text as I have asperger's syndrome. I can read slides easily but there is no means to convert articles to slides so that I can comprehend as an aspie.

You can do slides. How about videos? This is an excellent series of videos on neural networks.

It looks like the course covers too much to spend enough time on each topic. So I guess the couse is supposed to only give a brief overview of the field, meaning you shouldn't realistically be expected to understand everying, only to know the basic idea.

To understand anyone of those topics, doing excersises (programming, proofs, calculations) would probably be the key to understanding. But with so many topics, I imagine you don't have the time to do much of that.

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
