Andrew Ng updates his Machine Learning course

Does anybody know if it is still free?<p>I took this course and Dan Boneh&#x27;s cryptography course and both were truly excellent.

Although this is the best course on ML, is it really practical for anything? Has anyone built products for things they’ve learned from this course?

Announcing that he updated his course certainly gained more attention than saying it will be available in June<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=31204055" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=31204055</a><p>I certainly was excited when I saw this headline. Thought maybe it was early

Though I had almost zero ways I would actually use the learning from this course (and indeed really never did any ML after and have probably forgotten it all) it was still a really fun brain exercise to revisit some math and then see how ML thinking worked! I have recommended it quite a few times.

This is one of the best courses on ML.

It&#x27;s amazing how hard it is to stay up to date in the data space, so it will be interesting to see how this course has been updated.

I finished machine-learning[1] long time ago and it&#x27;s so good. Look forward to this [2].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;machine-learning&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;machine-learning&#x2F;</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;neural-networks-deep-learning&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;learn&#x2F;neural-networks-deep-learning...</a>

I took this when it was mlcourse along with the aicourse by Peter Norvig. I was in research at the time. They were entertaining, but certainly mainly an intellectual curiosity for both academics and practitioners. Nowadays Practitioners would most likely use an ML library.

Really great course, highly recommend it. It demystifies so much :)

I&#x27;ll say that that waitlist registration form is very sketchy. Agreeing to receive marketing updates is <i>required</i> to join a waitlist for a course? Classy move.

Is the registration broken? I am getting errors to &quot;Please complete this required field&quot; on two fields that I cannot see (or fish out of the div soup that is this signup page.)

Very very excited to check this out.

So what, concretely, has changed?

Checked if he moved it away from Matlab, and yes he did! That&#x27;s what steered me away from his course.
