3 easy ways to stay up-to-date in Data Science

… that won’t take you hours

1. Follow Twitter Accounts connected with Data Science

Many of the most skilled people publish both cutting-edge and basics every day, and you have free access to their knowledge and results.

Wouldn’t it boost your learning to work with the best Google, DeepMind, PyTorch, or OpenAI researchers, engineers, PhDs, CTOs, and CEOs? Get closer this way.

You don’t even need to look for them — just follow a few of your favorite libraries and Twitter recommendations will lead you further.

LinkedIn will do the job too.

Below is the first page of the 62 accounts I follow:

All you need to do is open a finely crafted tl;dr message with a summary of SOTA methods selection and ready-to-use implementations.

Here’s how to subscribe to GitHub release notes:

This is what it looks like:
