Somehow on Habré already ran news (could not find it search) about the intentions of Stanford University to organize online classes for the course "Machine learning". And now these intentions have become a reality - Stanford University in the person of Professor Andrew Ng and the laboratory of artificial intelligence at Stanford University invites everyone to register on the
website of this course.
This project is an experimental project of Stanford University in the framework of the concept of distributed education. Students who live anywhere in the world and have only an Internet connection will receive full access to the lecture video, accompanying materials, as well as assistance from the teachers of this course. When registering for this course, you have the choice of the form in which you are going to study. The first mode - “Basic” allows you to access all the course materials and only, the second mode “Advanced”, in which you also have to do weekly homework. The transition between training modes is available during training. Upon completion of the course certificates will be issued.
The course will cover the following topics: introduction to machine learning, knowledge mining (data mining), and statistical pattern recognition.
Officially, the course starts from October 10 and will run until December 16. Now the registration is open on the site, the first lecture of the course is posted, there is a local forum where already registered users are already in rapid communication. For example, from there I learned that the practical tasks in this course will be performed on

The site strongly recommends distributing information about this course among all comers. What I am doing.
Good learning!
