Guides / tips / primers for Nx?
Does anyone have any guides, tips or primers for Nx (or ML in general)?
I guess specifically things that would be helpful before reading Genetic Algorithms in Elixir. Or does the book contain everything you might need? (If anyone’s interested we will probably run a book club for it soon - PM me if you’re interested, I should have a few copies to give away!)

Hey @AstonJ I have written a few posts on the DY blog: Blog - DockYard
I also have some posts on Medium through Pragmatic Bookshelf: https://medium.com/@seanmor5
And some tips on my blog: https://seanmoriarity.com/
Finally, there may be something in the works through everybody’s favorite publisher coming out sometime soon ![]()

An nice, I was wondering when we’d be seeing more books on the topic! Can you share whether it’s going to be a book best read before/after Genetic Algorithms in Elixir?
Thanks also for the links to your blog posts, in terms of reading order, do you think it’s worth approaching something like this:
- What is Machine Learning Anyway? - DockYard
- Nx for Absolute Beginners - DockYard
- Up and Running Nx - DockYard
- https://seanmoriarity.com/2021/04/08/axon-deep-learning-in-elixir/
- Getting Started with Axon - DockYard
- Your book (Genetic Algorithms in Elixir (PragProg))
- https://medium.com/pragmatic-programmers/a-short-nx-quiz-3549c6bb826b
Thanks also for all your work on this aspect of Elixir - I have no doubt it’s going to play a big role in Elixir’s continued success ![]()

Industry standard advice for getting up to speed as quick as possible on ML is the free fastai course: https://course.fast.ai. I’ve heard it’s required for new OpenAI engineers. I found it to be very helpful in explaining most key concepts.
The Hugging Face transformers course is also a great follow-up: Introduction · Hugging Face. Given that Bumblebee allows you to use pre-trained Hugging Face models, it’s probably a particularly helpful follow-up to the fastai course.
Of course you’re stuck with using Python if you follow these tutorials but it’s probably the best way to start to get a conceptual understanding of all this stuff before using Nx/Axon/Bumblebee.
