the aura of andrew ng is so peaceful. really inspiring podcast.

[@maqboolfida786]

He is Singaporean... its kind of representative.

i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@saralapeach1797]

His voice is smooth like satin. This is the first time I am hearing to his voice…😅

[@Artificial_Intelligence_AI]

OMG hearing his voice again is like going back to those days when I was watching his tutorials in order to start with ML. Andrew helped a lot of people and most of the time, when I write something related to ML, I refer to him as the reason of why I am able to explain some of my knowledge. An absolute legend. BTW he is totally right about taking notes in a paper in order to retain information. That’s what is helping me more in understanding the logic behind algorithms and coding challenges asked by big tech companies, because I have to admit that I am very bad at those 😆

[@luisurena1770]

I'll start taking hand written notes right now! I literally SUCK at algorithms and data structures

[@raznatovicanastasija]

At what minute of this video he talks about taking notes? Thank you kindly.

@@dec13666 may be he is deprived of continuous power supply. Because it is major problem in rural area. Some villages get about 8 to 12 hours power supply in a day.

[@d4nky967]

Feels so good to see Lex surprised and happy in a sense after Andrew asked him something

[@manudasmd]

Andrew ng is the person who made me fall in love with the subject. Me from a biology background started his coursera just for a small project with no background in maths and code. The way he presented the mathematical basis was so motivating that I was building concepts from the framework he built now I am more interested in learning the math behind it.

[@xiangli1133]

I've no words to express my gratitude for such humble intelligent generous person. Thanks prof Andrew Ng.

[@Pablo-bo2ru]

met him today in Portland Oregon. I've been taking his courses for the last 8 months. I've been already following his career. He is just as humble and cool in real life. He's the GOAT

I'm one of those guys who have benefitted from the Financial Aid option of Coursera and Deep Learning Specialization... And I'm very indebted to Andrew Ng for that.. Hope I'll teach more unknown people about it and give back as much as I can

[@frizzoux7737]

yes to that mindset !

[@Abhi-ct1gp]

Bro how was that certificate useful, excluding the knowledge you gained... Do companies here in India value those certificates from Coursera, edx... etc?

[@devanshverma5395]

@@Abhi-ct1gp no they don't value any certificates/specializations. But they do value your knowledge from these certificates and projects

[@kenbobcorn]

Hi Siddharth, I have a few comments that may or not be useful to you and others. In case you are ever worried about financial aid in those Coursera courses know this : completion of the course (officially) whereby you receive a certification for completion is absolutely meaningless when finding work. I have interviewed dozens of students for AI related work, and in my opinion, the industry is flooded with these certifications from all sorts of online courses. On coursera you have the option to audit the course for free, which gives you access to all the material just not the certificate. I have seen so many students with certificates that have no real world experience, but the best students are always those that took what they learn and applied it to a small project of their own - however small. Never feel like the financial obligation should hold you back, and always know its not the certificate, its what you can do with the knowledge that matters. Hope that helps.

[@siddharth__pandey]

@@kenbobcorn You are absolutely right about the certificate part.. The assignments are actually very dumbed down imo.. Whenever I worked on a project or internship.. The most difficult part was creating the dataset in a format which can be fed into the model.. And that part is already done in all the assignments

[@csanvi]

This guy Andrew has a sense of calmness and he is so humble. I did his beginner level AI 4 Everyone course and he is such a nice guy to hear to.

Prof. Andrew Ng has helped millions of students around the world by making his tutorials available to everyone on internet. Thank you! PS: He is so right about getting stuck at a "reputed" company/university and where you don't enjoy what you're doing.

[@ainnovation6967]

Andrew Ng seems great educator tackled even way of learning by make it a habit from few technics like writing notes. It is true to me, writing notes those difficult parts from learning will help to hard embed those informations in your head for easy recall. What he said is something quantum mechanics which where you put your attention is where your energy is.

[@greencoder1594]

[17:10] «Recoding knowledge in your own words promotes long-term retention. Comparing handwritten notes and typing, you can usually type faster than you can handwrite notes, so when people type, they are more likely to just transcribe verbatim what they've heard and that reduces the amount of recoding.»

[@SharatS]

I feel like that's because typing, especially if you're a really fast typer, is more of an unconscious action. Whereas writing is a more deliberate action.

[@rezajanjani7712]

Chrys R what was that?

[@chrysr7900]

@@rezajanjani7712 I'm glad you asked! Here's everything I found extremely useful: 1) Make learning( or studying, I prefer learning since studying is something I attribute to school whereas learning is for personal development) a habit. 2) Sustained effort over a period of time is way better than a burst of effort, in the long run 3)While taking a course online, take notes to retain the information. 4) With regards to a career in Machine Learning : a) Get your foundation strong i.e be thorough with the basics and only then start working on the big things b) find a passion project, no matter how simple to apply what you learnt c)Dont go to a place( either to work or study) just because of the name on the building but instead see if the people and the culture align with your principles.

the moment was when in the 5th week while showing the potential of neural network there comes a slide showing a man trying to gain vision using a camera and transmitting the electrical signal through his tongue. My friend that was the moment I knew that's it. that's what I will be working on.

[@mariemelberriri1905]

[@unnamed679]

I utterly agree on what Lex mentioned, considering the Reinforcement Learning and how it hasn't been fully explored, hence there are no notable applications using it. The biggest application i can think of, in terms of utilizing Reinforcement Learning, is OpenAI's Five. I am highly looking forward seeing more real world applications.

Thanks, Lex for the great effort you're putting on this program. I have to say that I expected the interview with Andrew Ng to be more interesting, you're interviewing one of the most interesting people and the leaders of the AI domain, yet you spent the whole interview asking educational questions about the courses and the learning prosses and pre-requisites instead of asking the meaningful, important questions you usually ask other guests! I hope you take this as positive feedback than criticism.

[@AustinGarrett777]

If you're just getting started in the field, it's also worth considering exploring AI outside of deep learning! These days, machine learning is hyper-competitive, results change fast, and it can be hard to catch up to the "state-of-the-art", especially if you don't have a job at a company with massive troves of data. Right now we're in an age where deep learning is king, and many are predicting it will be the only form of artificial intelligence in the future. If you study the history of AI you realize hype comes and goes, but the technologies underneath survive and evolve over time. Symbolic methods, often referred to as "Good Old-Fashioned AI" or GOFAI never died, it has evolved into a rich intersection of neuro-symbolic reasoning, search algorithms, task and motion planning, robotics, etc. These approaches are not entirely separate from deep learning, and generative modeling is an emerging unifying paradigm for both symbolic and neural approaches. Many will be coming from the neural-network side and trying to figure out symbolic methods. In that space, it will be extremely hard to get a competitive edge. Correspondingly, there is an extremely well-placed niche for people working on symbolic methods (especially those who are well-versed in probability) to make a huge impact on neural networks. If you've read this far, I'd especially recommend looking at probabilistic programming (disclosure, that's what I work on) to expand your perspective of what sorts of AI are possible.
