  • I've watched some of his lectures online. Truly an amazing teacher. Little what I know about machine learning and deep learning comes from him.

    • Indeed, I took his ML course on coursera a while back and it was great.

      • I got them for free on Coursera. It's just that you have to finish them quickly in the span of two to three months. Since I skipped ML and went directly with DL (ANNs), I have some gap in my mind, especially on statistical techniques.

        • Yeah, my stats knowledge is somewhat weak as well, but the course at least gave me some foundation for understanding how this stuff works.

          • @yogthos @velox_vulnus No one asked so I apologize for interjecting 🙈 but Harvard’s CS181 course has a lot of good material free online I think. I strongly recommend those problem sets to get into the parts of stats most relevant to ML.

            STAT110 is also online with even more material I think but is way more general and non programming-y.

            • Thanks for the heads up, it's really great that universities are starting to put up these courses for free now.
