amazing tutorial.. it makes easy to understand ML

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you, Sadia!

[@Rosenzweigjcb]

As someone who has taken an econometrics course (econ major) and now works as a Software Engineer on our NLP pipeline, this helps fill in the bits of knowledge that I'm lacking in machine learning! I didn't even know that's how naive bayes work.

[@SivaSrinivas]

Amazing introduction......can't skip like and comment....!

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you Siva!

[@tydo4092]

I've study ML for several months and only this video has opened my mind. Thanks a million.

[@RoyalBengalCub]

Hi! We are researchers in human-computer interaction (HCI) looking for people who have taken an initiative to recently learn Machine Learning on their own, for career, course or curiosity. It seems you are in that place currently. Would you mind telling us here (www.surveymonkey.ca/r/SelfLearning_ML) about your experiences and any difficulties you faced while self-teaching ML and how you overcame them. There is also a chance to win $50 giftcard. You can help this project by taking out 5-10 minutes to participate in our study. For more details, see here: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/SelfLearning_ML Please share this request with your colleagues or friends who fit this description. People from any major/background may participate. The survey will be open until July 20, 2020.

[@omc345]

This is one of the best keynotes I have ever seen in the topic. Thanks! It would be nice to reach out the slides that you created. Is there any chance?

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thanks Oguzhan! As of right now I can't, since I use them for a few different things, but will be putting all this in a blog sometime, I'll keep you posted!

[@timchong6728]

Hi Great slides btw. Do you think it's possible to share the slides it would be much appreciated

[@TopHDToonZ]

Damn. By far the best introduction video ever. I was honestly scared after going through many coursera introductory videos. And I was literally on the verge of never looking back into ML. Thanks for this.

[@skit555]

Nice presentation but definitely lacking contextualization :/

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thanks! Any suggestions for the next iteration? More real life applications, more of a road map?

[@skit555]

The algorithms are well presented, and I thank you for that. But you don't provide context, categories, use cases, efficiency details,... That could be really useful for me to be able to link those algorithms to encountered problems :)

[@SerranoAcademy]

Good ideas, I'll add some real life applications for the next one, and some comments about efficiency, implementation, etc. Any more ideas please let me know!

[@skit555]

Luis Serrano Thank you for caring about my suggestion, in the hope it improves your readability :)

[@JohnnyBoyCali]

This was meant as a somewhat short introduction to ML. If he had added everything you said, then it would have been hours and hours long and people would have skipped it, because it would have been too long. From what you learn here, there are plenty more advanced videos to watch.

[@mathhack8647]

Born to teach , old video but always instructive Thanks

[@48956l]

mount errorist lol

[@SerranoAcademy]

Lol! It was between that, and Mount Kilimanjerror. :)

[@SnoopyDoofie]

Should have called it Mt Errorat and had shown an Ark with animals coming down the mountain.

[@mohz832]

By far, the best introduction ever. Amazing way of explaining things. Hope you produce more of these high quality videos to simplify complex algorithms. Spectacular 👏👍👏🙏

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you Mohamed! Working on some more...

[@MarkusEicher70]

Thank you for this beginner friendly introduction to the relevant ML Algorithms. Very helpful.
