Is ludwig video course available?

[PeterPirog]

I would like to ask if there is some ludwig course available online free or paid?
I know that there is documentation but sometimes I prefer video step by step tutorials.

@PeterPirog unfortunately we don't have a video course right now, but that's a great idea!
There are some videos and blogposts that could serve as good introductions though.
Here are a few:

• Basic introduction video: https://youtu.be/OGweVw57kus
• Full 1h presentation: https://youtu.be/xuMx-Dmdico (it's a bit outdated, will soon record a new one after we release v0.5)
• Sentiment analysis tutorial (training from scratch): https://medium.com/ludwig-ai/the-complete-guide-to-sentiment-analysis-with-ludwig-part-i-65a9e6bc054e
• Sentiment analysis tutorial (fine-tuning): https://medium.com/ludwig-ai/the-complete-guide-to-sentiment-analysis-with-ludwig-part-ii-d9f3952a06c6
• Sentiment analysis tutorial (hyper opt): https://medium.com/ludwig-ai/hyperparameter-optimization-with-ludwig-6e31272e43fb

Hopefully these could be good starting points. Let me know if you have feedback!

(also, transforming this into a discussion rather than an issue)

@w4nderlust , Thank you for converting issuw to the discussion.
I suggest to focus on not obvious aspects of framework like:

• creating losses and metrics
• how to define layers parameters , mactivation function, values initialization etc.
• how to define optimizer and its parameters
• preprocessing for categorical values
• visualization
• hyperparameters optimization
• making cross-validation
• using tensorboard to monitor hyperparameter optimization,
• serving,
• using ray clusters
• CI continous integration

because step from research environment to the development environment is huge.

I asked about video tutorial because many times I spent a lot of hours to run some code but it become obvious when I coded with wideo tutorial step by step ( i remember when i spend many days to learn how to build own pip package but one 30 minutes video explains everything).

I would like to stress that I thing that ludwig is the great and huge work :)
