[@avinashprasadfilms]

Thanks ThreeCube 🤜🤛

[@MohitSharma-xy7xc]

God bless you man!

[@amcg809]

Started with Andrew Ng machine learning course and now I’m doing a masters at St. Andrews in AI. Andrew is a great teacher and role model for the industry. Good video with decent insights

Alex McGonigle Holy shit, im class of 2023

Hi Alfonso, 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. Seems like 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 31, 2020.

[@etienneekpo348]

Thank you Professor Andrew Ng for spending time helping the ML community move forward.

[@gauravsrivastav212]

one of the most important segment of the video is 45:40 when the moderator ask how to begin for the lifelong learning of ai/ml/ds etc..., because of the so much information, people, courses are there. I would suggest that you listen from 4:50 as it is when the main thing begin, but do pay attention to so many little points given by the professor in the coversation.

[@mietektrabka5352]

Thanks, its a good timestamp.

[@inception2625]

The substance of Andrew's presentation is between 4:50 and 16:45

[@TraderSamsara]

When asking questions, the moderator speaks so fast and it affects Andrew. Then Andrew speaks much faster than before.

[@ryans9094]

The part that stood out for me was how much Andrew enjoys driving tractors.

[@MLTOKYO]

haha

[@SatheeshKumar-V]

LOL

[@vince6252]

Thanks to Andrew and Jose. I took notes. Inspired by Andrew's Dad's work inspiring Andrew... I have enrolled in "AI for Everyone" for my 6-year-old son, he's excited by the Introduction video, I've added it to my calendar for lockdown homeschooling.

Thank you for posting this

[@kellyfj]

Turned into a great and very practical talk with great advice - nice back and forth between Juan and Andrew.

[@user-or7ji5hv8y]

I wish the audio was better

[@70ME3E]

great intro, but it was a tad lacking tho, I was asking myself okay but where was the info that Mr Joya drives a blue Peugeot, his favorite basketball team is the Lakers but on Sundays it's the Warriors? So many unaddressed points..

[@niteshchaudhry2907]

LOL :D

[@the_number_one]

Subtitles please!!!

[@BeALeaderAndAnInspir]

Thanks for the video. It motivates me to keep learning ML. :)

[@frankd1156]

Reading papers vs building projects?

[@seetsamolapo5600]

Both

[@nanayawasare4988]

Can anyone share links to research papers? Or share how to find and download quality research papers.

[@gunslingerarthur5865]

See you will get most important papers at arvix to know what papers to read first start with legacy papers for ex vgg16 for computer vision etc once Ur done with that move to more newer ones in the field follow all these machine learning gurus on twitter to see what papers they are interested in

[@sheldonfernandes3588]

Andrew recommends papers in his courses check them out.

[@chihoxtra]

Thank you Professor Ng for your sharing. May I ask is there any way I could learn more about the product manager training you mentioned in the video? i have been a product manager all my life and I started taking courses on AI. How could I be a better PM for the industry?

[@vcool]

A PM is not a real job; it's a b/s paper pusher. It's not too late to become an engineer instead.

[@chihoxtra]

@@vcool Dear, I see your point. That's why even as a PM I wanted to equip myself with the relevant knowledge so that I could work better with engineers. I also wanted to start my career as an engineer but it wasnt easy... I have completed the coursera deeplearning.ai courses, ML course and also an AI nanodegree from udacity. But employers dont really give a xxxx to these certs as I do not have real life experience. I am at my mid 3x now. I am not sure what should I do go get a job on ML/AI. I am really fascinated by what it could do and I am still learning.

[@JohnSmith-iw8cm]

@@chihoxtra It's true that no employers care about these certifications, but that doesn't mean they're not useful. You've certainly learned a great deal about how ML, now prove it to employers by making a super cool and useful project that interests you. That being said, switching careers is always hard, especially if you're already established. It may turn out that even making incredible side projects is not enough to do it. In that case, and if you're really sure that ML is your dream, you may want to consider getting a graduate degree.

[@rohitdighe852]

someone give sir andrew a good microphone already :(

[@vcool]

This talk, although good, could have better emphasized the point that the biggest possible applications are in programming robotics to do intelligent physical work. Driving cars and tractors are just two such examples out of two million possible ones. Think of all the physical work humans do! Unfortunately, however, we seem to lack appropriate commodity mobile robotic platforms for this purpose. An exception is drones; these are competitively available.

[@profyeah25]

ThreeCube This talk was about his wife and his father

[@usamapm1578]

Wao its Great webinar on AI .... Learned lots of Things in AI Career ..... Thanks to Professor Andrew ... one Question I have in my mind that when ur startup in AI career as Freshy and in how much time it takes to get your own Job in AI Field, As it totally depends on us but there is an approximate time?

[@henry7434]

usama ali at least 6 month to 2 years depend on ur fundamentals

[@umairgillani699]

bad audio :(

[@kellyfj]

Usually the moderator doesn't give his resume . . . . :-)

[@laprofekaren]

haha

[@ashaer]

Potentially job hunting 😀

[@bayesianlee6447]

haha he wanted some attention

[@akbaralam8683]

well its more about why he is qualified for this talk :)

[@martinmoravek1645]

Great talk, terrible sound

[@mohammadghasemi6115]

سپاسگزارم آقای اندرو ان جی

[@shapurr5949]

farsi chera neveshti?

[@dianamariselfloressaavedra1988]

Excellent perspective!!

[@baonguyengia6507]

i saw the video - like it . thanks my Chef.

[@sivaprasadml6582]

Would have been more good provided a direct interview rather than remote..

[@giorgionapoli85]

I'll build a NN able to count the number of 'hum's pronounced during the call.

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

It's actually a good idea because you could use a neural network for the natural language processing model to find the nonwords and just label their timestamps for deletion from recording as part of post p rocessing.

[@abhishekmangaraj]

Juan says so much uuummmm.

[@ProfessionalTycoons]

This talk is dank

[@GodsNode]

11:20 haha!

[@Mneimnehtube]

why do you talk about yourself dear moderator?!?!

[@joshsmit779]

When people start a confirmation with "no". Smh.

[@krishnapillai2595]

testing

[@the_number_one]

Get a better surname casteist

[@vcool]

The moderator had way too many uh, ums, and "likes". A high number of these is annoying and unprofessional. There were a lot of dead words and incomplete sentences. These could have all been edited out.

[@yousufazad6914]

wow! just wow! I mean wow!

[@vcool]

@@yousufazad6914 wow

[@paulgarcia2887]

Remember the moderator is into STEM, STEM people are usually not that social.

[@vcool]

@@paulgarcia2887 Editing out the uhms doesn't need one to be social.

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

You could make a machine learning model to find the parts that need editing out and do it automatically. nn sequence model for nlp

[@kersonperez1003]

Moderator is anoying
