What is Virgilio?

Studying and reading through the Internet means swimming in an infinite jungle of chaotic information, even more so in rapidly changing innovative fields.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when trying to approach Data Science without a real “path” to follow?

Are you tired of clicking “Run”, “Run”, “Run”.. on a Jupyter Notebook, with that false sense of confidence given by the comfort zone of the work of others?

Have you ever got confused because of the several and contradicting names for the same algorithm or approach, from different websites and fragmented tutorials?

Virgilio addresses these critical issues for free, for everyone.

Enter in the new web version of Virgilio!

virgilio's Issues

Suggestions for calc and possibly statistics prereqs

Hello everyone,

I got briefly involved with Virgilio a couple of years back while I was still early in my journey in deep learning and for more than one reason I got side tracked.

I am currently working at a mobile robotics startup as the lead software engineer, and for computer vision solutions (non-deep learning) that I need to use for our robots I am going back to studying math and stats and linear algebra.

I did remember that Virgilio had a guide containing a list of good resources to learn these topics so I gave the website a visit and it was truly heartwarming to see Virgilio is going strong.

Anyhow, I checked the calc 1 course from MIT and I did push through it a bit, and I'd like to think of myself as a mathematically inclined person, but with the workload I have and the mental drain that comes with that, it was very difficult for me to keep up with the content the way I wanted it to be done.

So here's an alternative course: Prof. Leonard's Calc 1. He explains it very well, he does not leave details, and granted it is not as deep of an understanding as the MIT course gives, I believe it is a completely reasonable baseline for calculus. I will attempt to update you guys on any good resources I might find for the rest of the topics as I get to them, but for now that is my suggestion. I think Prof Leonard's courses could be a worthwhile alternative to the MIT courses for those who are mostly interested in applications of calc (for any purpose, including deep learning).

Nonetheless, I leave the choice to the capable hands of those running Virgilio to decide whether they would like to include a less intensive, less in-depth, more applications-oriented approach the the preliminary topics or not.

Different color palette / theme per section

It would be cool to have a global blue theme while we are in Paradiso articles, and use something else for Purgatorio and Inferno.

Render / Serve Python notebooks

Plan a complete refactor of the Inferno section, making it more useful and extensible

invalid link

in the guide of statistics section, the link of "Statistics in Plain English - Timothy C. Urdan" is not a valid link. After clicking the link, it redirects to https://www.helpsavedemocracy.com/.

MLDemos's Algorithm Option is Grew

I just follow to @jiaxianhua MLDemos/README.md and install it. When I run it on the Ubuntu14.04 as
$ ./mldemos
all can works all right except for Algorithm Options. All tabs within Algorithm Options window are grey.

Hope to get your reply!

Help Virgilio for the MongoDB Guide!

The vision of Virgilio is to share free and curated knowledge maps and high-quality content, and we think that everyone can put his hands in this mission!
If you know how to use MongoDB and have good communication skills, why not writing a guide about it? Several studies and empirical proofs show that to teach something is the fastest and most effective way to learn it.
Thousands of people will read it and would be grateful to you! 👍
Don't worry about the correctness of your English or the deepness of your knowledge, experienced people at Virgilio will help you to make your guide of the highest quality.

New Contributing documentation

We need a new and revamped CONTRIBUTING document, explaining the project structure, long term goals, needed guides and arguments, roadmap, allowing contributors to submit content in a more structured way

Add neural prophet and google autoML forecasting to time series guide

Think about adding section and subsections linkable - instead of sub-seb-sections

Have a Discord Community...

It'll be really helpful if you can have a discord community... than the learners can communicate with the pros and directly solve their doubts without hassling here and there.

if you want to make an analogy with a human being, you can think of sensors as the sense organs (eyes, ears,...), the intelligence is that of our brain and the actuators can be the hands, feet, or more generally the muscles. However, the biological analogy is limited, since it is not necessary for the sensors of an agent to detect physical phenomena, such as temperature or time, but it could detect data, relations, or inputs of any other kind.

how to find " Machine Learning Paths"?

Thanks.
I can't find " Machine Learning Paths" of " catalog. It contains proative conditions ,how use Scikit-Learn to ML,TensorFlow and toll. I click " Complete Learning Paths", then the content of the page is the same as the home page. I want to know how to check the previous content?
Sorry, English is not my native language.

Allow economic contributions from the community

Maybe setup a Patreon and/or an Open Collective page?

the link to math exercises doesn't work

The Purgatorio -> Fundamentals -> Linear Algebra section contains a link to exercises and this link doesn't work.

Check your knowledge

Test your knowledge with these exercises.

Anyway you can find a ton of them online, and remember, that the more you practise, the better you will get!

Could it be deleted or replaced with other materials, since there are lots of them on the internet?

Looking for previously available links

Where can I find the alternative links/locations to these topics:

Machine Learning Study Path [deadlink]

New To Data Science

• Basic Python [deadlink] | Alternative: Python Basics
• Matrix Algebra [deadlink] | Alternative: Matrix Algebra
• Python for Data Science [deadlink]

They used to be present on the github repo but now none of the commits/branches contains them. Have they been permanently deleted or moved elsewhere?

If you check out the New To Data Science section on my repo, you can see I have added alternative links to the couple of them.
