Google Launches Free Course On Deep Learning (blogspot.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the rise-of-the-competing-AIs dept.

An anonymous reader writes: In November, Google open sourced TensorFlow, its machine learning platform. Now, the company is following up by teaching people how to use it. They've launched a free course at Udacity that "provides you with all the basic tools and vocabulary to get started with deep learning, and walks you through how to use it to address some of the most common machine learning problems." A series of lectures explains how to set up your data, build training models, and extend those models. It also touches on image recognition and how to use recurrent neural networks. The signup page notes that this is considered an intermediate-to-advanced level course, so you'll probably need some basic machine learning knowledge to get the most out of it.

    East Germany, as a separate nation with its own prison system, ceased to exist in 1990. Your comparison is, thus, against a null set I am curious, though. Do you have personal experience of MIT as a student or faculty member? Were you ever incarcerated in East Germany prior to German reunification? In general, what is the basis for your outdated comparison?

    If you are new to machine learning, start off with Andrew Ng's course:
    https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning
    This is the course that helped jump-start Coursera and one of my all-time favorite MOOC courses; highly recommended.

    If it's any good, they'll either:
    a) scrap it
    or
    b) bugger up the UI.

    In the case of b) they will then scrap it.
