Deep Learning Roadmap

The document outlines a comprehensive deep learning roadmap divided into six stages, starting from core neural networks and progressing through regularization, CNNs, sequence modeling, transformers, and representation learning. Each stage includes key concepts, techniques, and practical projects to reinforce learning. The roadmap emphasizes hands-on implementation and understanding of advanced models and methods in deep learning.
