## Choose when

### Choose ai-engineering-from-scratch if…

- Tags unique to ai-engineering-from-scratch: agents, ai-engineering, computer-vision, deep-learning.
- Also covers AI Agents, Computer Vision, Developer Tools.
- when you need a structured course that covers a wide range of AI engineering topics from scratch, including foundational math, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.

### Choose Keras-TextClassification if…

- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Python environment must be prepared for running Keras.; Supports multiple model types requiring different levels of computation resources..
- Tags unique to Keras-TextClassification: albert, bert, capsulenetwork, charcnn.
- Requires Chinese text classification for tasks like multi-label, sentence similarity analysis.

## When NOT to use ai-engineering-from-scratch

- if you are looking for a tool that focuses solely on theoretical knowledge without practical application, as this course emphasizes hands-on learning.
- when you do not have access to Node.js or Python, as these are required for running the course and its interactive components.
- if you prefer a more traditional learning approach without the use of terminal-based learning tools, as the course is designed for interactive terminal sessions.
- when you are working with a development environment that does not support skill-capable hosts, as the course is optimized for such environments.

## When NOT to use Keras-TextClassification

- Does not cater to non-Chinese language datasets effectively due to its Chinese-specific models.
- Avoid if you seek a tool with extensive support beyond text classification like NER or POS tagging.
