Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

I would stay away from facial recognition

it typically involves neural networks though, which are a topic on their own and reasonably complicated
(learning numpy will help you get some fundations to understand how to use them, but is not anywhere near enough... unless you just use something that completely abstracts it away)

[narrow spoke]

then any idea what should i do? like i want to make an advanced project from which i can learn many things

interest is mainly in ai/ml

[graceful cypress]

what do you want to do | what are you learning for

[narrow spoke]

wanna go in ai ml field

[graceful cypress]

too vague. The only thing I can recommend for that would be taking a course from some university

[narrow spoke]

like isn't there any project ideas that i can make before taking a course for ml

[graceful cypress]

you can play around with something like Cat vs Dog image classifier, or handwritten digit recognition

[narrow spoke]

ahhh ic so i can basically learn many things by making it right?

[graceful cypress]

at the point you're at, I'd be more concerning about how to use the libraries at all tbh
(in particular, numpy & pytorch)

that said, an extremely high % of the things you have to learn are not about python nor the libraries, but rather math and statistics

[narrow spoke]

basically i want a small job for now so i though making projects would help in getting one

[narrow spoke]

wait, we can learn pytorch lib before maths nd stats?

[graceful cypress]

unless you can somehow score freelancing gigs through your contacts, I don't think that ai/ml is a good area to focus on for small jobs

[narrow spoke]

ah i see , don't have any contacts though

[graceful cypress]

how the library itself works: yes
(how to perform operations on tensors, how to write models)

how to use it correctly for practical purposes: not really
(which operations you have to do in order to solve X problem)

[narrow spoke]

i mean the thing is that i wanna apply to a small company for the python dev role (side by side learn ai nd ml) so making python projects is kinda compulsory for me so ain't getting which projects to do so i can start applying

Also, CS50 for AI is online and free, and has a few projects in it.
