To become an AI programmer, candidates should focus on developing a strong foundation in several key areas: programming skills, mathematics and statistics, and data processing and handling.
-
Focus on programming languages, such as Python.
-
Get familiar with libraries, such as TensorFlow, Keras, or Pandas.
-
Acquire a strong mathematical background, particularly in linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory, which are crucial for understanding the algorithms and models used in AI.
-
Train in data handling with big data, for example, in CSV format. Data preprocessing is essential to train a good neural network. Data can be biased, totally wrong, or contain many duplicate values, etc.
