|
|
## 🚀 Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have Python installed (3.8 or higher recommended). Install required packages:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For Python scripts
|
|
pip install numpy
|
|
|
|
# For Jupyter notebooks (image classifier)
|
|
pip install jupyter numpy pillow tensorflow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use the conda environment from the main curriculum:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
conda env create --name ai4beg --file ../environment.yml
|
|
conda activate ai4beg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running the Examples
|
|
|
|
**For Python scripts (.py files):**
|
|
```bash
|
|
python 01-hello-ai-world.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files):**
|
|
```bash
|
|
jupyter notebook 03-image-classifier.ipynb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 📖 Learning Path
|
|
|
|
We recommend following the examples in order:
|
|
|
|
1. **Start with "Hello AI World"** - Learn the basics of pattern recognition
|
|
2. **Build a Simple Neural Network** - Understand how neural networks work
|
|
3. **Try the Image Classifier** - See AI in action with real images
|
|
4. **Analyze Text Sentiment** - Explore natural language processing
|
|
|
|
## 💡 Tips for Beginners
|
|
|
|
- **Read the code comments carefully** - They explain what each line does
|
|
- **Experiment!** - Try changing values and see what happens
|
|
- **Don't worry about understanding everything** - Learning takes time
|
|
- **Ask questions** - Use the [Discussion board](https://github.com/microsoft/AI-For-Beginners/discussions)
|
