Hi mates,

I am working in computational physics for condensed matter. I have noticed that there are already some articles using deep learning for computational physics. I want to try this method but I do not have any experience with deep learning or machine learning. The first question is that there are many packages for deep learning, such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and MxNet. Could I get some recommendations about the choice of deep learning packages?Lu

It would seem you really need to step back a bit and read a couple of books on ML and DL.

The 100 page Book on ML by Burkiv is a good start as is the Hands-on book by Geron

http://themlbook.com/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1098125975/?tag=pfamazon01-20

The hands-on book has a project template at the end and talks about cleaning your data which is an important aspect of ML and DL.

Both books cover the various strategies and the core packages in Python and Tensorflow.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
