Editor's note: Quora on the question: self-study machine learning technology, what advice do you have? (What is your recommendations for self-studying machine learning), Yann LeCun The answer under the question. This article by Lei Feng Net (public number: Lei Feng net) according to LeCun's reply collation, the original link: http://www.leiphone.com/news/201611/cWf2B23wdy6XLa21.html
There are a lot of materials, tutorials, and video courses on the Web for machine learning, including some university courses on Coursera. Here I mainly talk about the field of deep learning.
You can listen to some instructional courses and lectures on the internet and have a general understanding of deep learning. I recommend the following:
May 2015 "Nature" published an overview of the paper "Deep Learning" (learning), by myself, Yoshua Bengio, Geoff Hinton co-authored. (URL: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v521/n7553/abs/nature14539.html)
For a systematic textbook, I recommend deep learning, written by Goodfellow, Bengio and Courville, which is an HTML-based version of the book designed to help students and practitioners get started with machine learning, especially in the field of deep learning. The HTML version has been edited and is permanently free. Website: http://www.deeplearningbook.org/)
I have been in Paris at the French Academy, with 8 classes on deep learning, which was taught in French and now in English.

Coursera has Geoff Hinton Video course on neural networks (but from a current point of view, the content is a little bit outdated)
2012 IPAM's "deep learning and feature learning Summer Course" for graduate students (this summer course includes Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun, Wunda, Yoshua Bengio and many more in-depth learning experts that lasted more than half a month, Complete online video recording, website: http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/summer-schools/ Graduate-summer-school-deep-learning-feature-learning/?tab=schedule)
I opened a "deep learning" course at NYU in 2015, when video was posted on the internet, but the video is now gone for silly legal reasons, but PPT is still there. In the spring of 2017, I will be teaching this course at New York University again. Website: http://cilvr.nyu.edu/doku.php?id=deeplearning2015%3Aschedule)
In 2015, a "deep learning Summer Course" was held in Montreal, Canada, which was targeted at: graduate students, industry engineers and researchers who already have the basic knowledge of machine learning. Website: http://videolectures.net/deeplearning2015_montreal/)
In addition, I recommend some tutorials on specific platforms, such as Torch, TensorFlow, and Theano.
