Learn programming fundamentals through TopCoder and HackerRank, which have programming puzzles and teach algorithm and data structure fundamentals
Then also get involved in an open-source project, just keep looking for interesting subjects and find one you like. Programming is more about managing projects, and it will give you something to put and talk about on your resume, and meet new people, and lead to jobs

I don't think the recognition is the challenge but rather the training of the model. Like imagine taking a really long time to compute a good linear regression equation, but then to use it you just plug in the values.
That said, this deep convolutional neural net for ImageNet with 60 million parameters and 650,000 neurons took 6 days to train on two GPUs [0]

This is an amazing article and incredible blog
Among many interesting and inspiring themes, of interest to the HN community may be the disassociation of vision and objects. All of the deep learning models succeeding in classification emulate one side of the brain, while perspectives like this present life outside the constraint of rational thinking.
