PhiloAI | AI From Scratch

Welcome to my channel: PhiloAI — AI From Scratch. My name is Hadi Aghazadeh. I am senior data scientist at Enverus. I have +8 years of work experience in applied AI. I am the author of this book: Applied Reinforcement Learning (Manning Publication).

This channel is about understanding how intelligent systems work, not just using them as black boxes. We build ideas from first principles, connect the mathematics to the code, and apply them to real-world problems.

Topics include reinforcement learning, operations research, applied statistics, time-series forecasting, data engineering, GPU and CUDA programming, LLM fine-tuning, RL for LLMs, mathematical foundations, debugging, and from-scratch implementations of important algorithms and research papers.

You will also find practical case studies, conversations with practitioners, and occasional discussions about the philosophy of AI, learning, and decision-making.

Learn deeply. Build from scratch. Apply intelligently.
