The oldest open issues remain the same, with no resolution:

  1. Issue #168: Request for device-agnostic code, particularly for Apple silicon Macbooks. This issue continues to indicate potential compatibility problems.
  2. Issue #201: Difficulty in creating a virtual environment to run the code locally. This issue continues to see active discussion and potential solutions, but remains open.
  3. Issue #241: A UnicodeDecodeError when loading data, indicating ongoing data management issues.

New issues since the last analysis include:

  1. Issue #259: A broken link to the 'how-to-run' code instructions, which hinders users' ability to understand and use the software.
  2. Issue #257: A user's desire to use Git, suggesting a need for better Git integration or instructions.

The project has seen no change in the number of closed issues since the last analysis, maintaining a total of 69 closed issues. This could indicate a continued slowdown in issue resolution, or simply a steady state of issue creation and resolution.

The trajectory of the project continues to suggest ongoing efforts to improve compatibility and data management, as well as to enhance user understanding and ease of use. However, the steady state of issue resolution may indicate a need for increased resources or attention to these areas.

Future Trajectory

The project's future trajectory appears to be steady, with ongoing content updates and translations expanding the project's reach.

Updated Analysis

The AI-For-Beginners project continues to grow in popularity. The number of stars has increased from 21239 to 21625, and the number of forks has risen from 3554 to 3605. The repository size remains the same at 85404 kB, indicating no significant changes in the codebase.

The number of open issues remains at 46, suggesting a stable state of ongoing development and maintenance. The project continues to be written in Jupyter Notebook and is licensed under the MIT License.

The README remains unchanged, maintaining its comprehensive coverage of AI topics. The curriculum continues to include a wide range of AI topics, from traditional symbolic AI to modern deep learning techniques. The project still does not cover certain areas like business cases of using AI in Business, Classic Machine Learning, practical AI applications built using Cognitive Services, specific ML Cloud Frameworks, Conversational AI and Chat Bots, and the deep Mathematics behind deep learning.

The project's trajectory appears to be stable, with ongoing development and maintenance, and increasing community engagement. The increase in open issues could indicate a need for more contributors or faster issue resolution. However, the project's popularity and active maintenance suggest a healthy state and promising future.
