The Easiest Way To Stay Up to Date With Machine Learning.
Source: tai_blog

Have you ever felt that youre not staying up to date with the latest innovations  architecture designs  and new tech in machine learning?   If your answer is no  then this article is not for you  congratulations! U+1F973   However  if your answer is yes    then Im glad you found this article because I have a great trick for you!U+1F92F   In this article  I will share a simple system that has helped me read nearly 10 times more articles per month  which has almost doubled my machine learning knowledge in a very short period.   Working in the data science industry is becoming increasingly challenging. Everything is moving so fast  and we are expected to stay up to date with the latest tech and methods  from LLMs and RAG applications to deployment strategies.   In the generative AI space  tech that was created one year ago seems outdated today. If you leave frameworks for six months  youll need to get onboarded again because so many things have changed.   Best practices and services are constantly evolving (like replacing Kubeflow with Vertex AI on the Google Cloud Platform).   The job market continuously demands new skills for hiring  and its a race to keep up. Currently  jobs related to LLMs and NLP dominate the market.   This might be a current hype  but its where the funding and customer needs are focused. Unless you tap into this market quickly and learn new skills to fulfill customer demands  you might struggle to adjust to the rapid changes.   While we are fortunate to have the internet as a valuable source of information  it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of high-quality blogs that provide best practices  the latest news  industry trends  and more.   Although Medium is a good platform for this  it is becoming harder to sort out high-quality blogs from low-quality ones.   We need to go back to the industry standard sometimes when it comes to high-quality engineering topics or the latest tech blogs.   Some of these high-quality blogs include Engineering at Meta  Netflix TechBlog  and Neptune.ai for MLOps  at least in my humble opinion.   However  this raises a challenge: how can I keep up with all these different tech blogs? Should I save the websites and frequently visit them to see if there are any new posts to read?   That seems inefficient!!   What if I told you theres a technology that already exists to solve this issue? U+1F92B   I might be late to the game  but I recently discovered this amazing technology  which got me so fired up and wanted to share it with you.   Introducing RSSRSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed technology that allows users to receive updates from their favorite websites in a standardized format.   Lets imagine your favorite website is the Google AI blog. Now  you want to get regular updates from this website whenever they post something new  without having to visit the website yourself.   As you can see on the top right corner of the website (under follow us)  some of these websites provide an RSS feed  which gets updated whenever they post a new article.   All you need is an RSS reader to help you organize the links to all these new articles in one place. The download is automated for you  and you just need to add your favorite websites once and be willing to check and read the articles as they are published.   There are software that helps you organize this content and read these updates for you.   While there are many software  I am currently using Feedly.com   Disclaimer: I have no association with feedly.com but they have a free service that allows you to organize up to 3 folders and subscribe to a lot of websites for free which in my opinion is more than enough.   Step-by-Step WalkthroughHere is what you need to do.   Go to feedly.com or any other RSS feed reader website you like Sign up for a free accountStart subscribing to the blogs that you want to read.So for example if we want to subscribe to Googles AI & Machine Learning blog.   Copy the URL of the blog and paste it in the search area inside feedly.com  then click follow.   It then asks you to which folder you want to add this  which I usually add to ML Engineering Folder. You can create up to three folders in the free subscriptions.   As you can see I am also following the latest news on startups as well as health tech.

Here are the blogs that I am subscribing to:   If you want to read these articles on your phone  you can also download the app.   After you add some blogs to subscribe to  your feed will look like this:   Now you have one place to organize all the content from the high-quality blogs you want to follow. You can check this app once per day or whenever youre free  skim the articles you like  and always stay up to date with the latest news from top engineering/data industries.   I wanted to share this with you because Ive been struggling lately to stay up to date with engineering-related architecture designs and the latest MLOps topics and discussions.   As part of our job  its crucial to constantly learn new technologies and concepts. With this system  the whole process has become much more efficient  and Im regularly reading exciting engineering and data science topics.   I hope this helps you enhance your learning and advance your career by staying up to date with industry trends and best practices in the field of AI and machine learning U+2764   Have You Enjoyed This Story?Do me a favor and give the article 50 claps if it provided you with value U+1F44FU+1F3FB Make sure also to highlight or comment on the things that caught your eye U+2764 This helps me a lot!!!
