The discussion centers on overcoming a lack of motivation to learn, particularly in the context of studying big data and machine learning. Participants emphasize the importance of finding a passion project that excites the learner, comparing the experience to engaging in enjoyable sports rather than mundane exercise. Specific projects mentioned include employee promotion prediction and image caption generation using LSTM and CNN models. The consensus is that intrinsic motivation can significantly enhance the learning process.
PREREQUISITESStudents, data scientists, and machine learning practitioners seeking to enhance their motivation and engagement in learning complex topics like big data and deep learning.
the dataset for employee promotion prediction was wrong. so we decided to go with image caption generator...using lstm and cnn (deep learning)...Jameson said:Hi again. Like I've said in other posts I think you don't seem to have a passion project or something that excites you to build/study/learn. If you can find something that sounds just "cool" to do, then learning the topics needed to accomplish will become tools you need to do so. It's like exercising on a treadmill versus playing a fun sport. Sometimes when I'm playing a sport like tennis or basketball, I forget I'm exercising. Same idea here.
What is the latest with your machine learning project?
I see. I will try to look at big data projects.Jameson said:Hi again.

But do you like that idea? Does it make you excited?shivajikobardan said:the dataset for employee promotion prediction was wrong. so we decided to go with image caption generator...using lstm and cnn (deep learning)...
we decided to go with employee promotion prediction again lol. teacher recommended this to us.Jameson said:But do you like that idea? Does it make you excited?
I work with LSTM and CNN models. Each of those is something you could study for years. It's not just like learning a few rules. I think my main point still applies - find something that makes you smile or get excited to do and the learning will follow.
