Stanford Online AI

[MRoss]

I just signed up for the "basic" track. I believe this is just notes and some quizes. They also offer an advanced track.

Andy, maybe QuantNet should have a folder for this course? I am certain that hundreds (thousands?) of the members that signed up are "QuantNets". It would be nice to have a virtual study group.

It's helpful to post the link so that people can find the course in question.

And, if you're a full-time MFE student, I doubt that you'll have enough spare time to do the Stanford course on top of your regular courseload...

Oh, by the way, it's FREE.

Not true about the "basic" track...

I should give this a try.

You get out of it, what you put in to it.

There's a difference between learning about something, and learning something.

If you find yourself spending 3-4 hours each week watching the Stanford lectures, that's time that you could have otherwise spent on your probability/stochastic calculus problem set, your Numerical Methods code, etc.

The semester just started a week ago; see if you feel the same in a couple of months...

Just my $0.02.

Prof Ng is also doing a Machine Learning variant. I've signed up for the AI basic and plan to do the Machine Learning advanced.

isn't the same class offered in baruch? i.e the machine learning class?

 

[MRoss]

Not for free ...

haha yea true

But not for credit either.

Blah. As the course summary says I would like to get a "taste" of AI...

 

[Ohad]

Hmmm....this sounds interesting,I wish I had the time to take the advance track

Same here. Should be interesting regardless, the professors are leaders in the field.

Who here would love to get a CS Master's degree online, if it is of Stanford quality and only costs $2000 in tuition? Please reply.

 

[MRoss]

"of Stanford quality" meaning what kind of paper they print the degree on?

 

[prepch]

it's free
