Maybe find some code to look at on the HuggingFace hub page? HuggingFace libraries or PyTorch are likely to give you really good learning opportunities and examples. Just keep an eye out for timestamps of articles or version numbers. And of course use venv/conda/.. to not mess up your version when trying out different things ๐
In your opinion, is PyTorch easier than something like TF? What do you think about Keras?
Iโm not personally coding with them, just often supporting people and their projects that do. Keras is also popular but Iโve at least personally seen slightly shoddier implementations with it. That could be selection bias though.
I personally think Keras has a nice and intuitive high level API for getting into nueral networks, but Pytorch is definitely the most prominent library. If your going to start somewhere you're not going to regret learning Pytorch.
That being said, as others have mentioned, if you want to be a good data scientist or ML practioner learning the basics is never a bad idea. Sklearn is still the best library for a lot of ML tasks and is good to be familiar with.
There are a couple of good books out there that start off with the basics using numpy, pandas, Sklearn and build up to nueral networks/deep learning. I've use this one in the past https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-PyTorch-Scikit-Learn-learning/dp/1801819319.
