During the last 3 months I\u2019ve been doing Stanfords online machine learning class<\/a>. This as a great experience, and I now at least have a solid feel on the subjects covered in the course.<\/p>\n

I actually started off doing the Artificial Intelligence class<\/a>, and then found that the Machine Learning one was more interesting for me, and even of higher quality. So I decided to do both classes. After a few weeks I found this was really to much to do on top of my regular work, and decided to drop the AI class, so I could focus on the ML class and get good results there, rather then mediocre results on both. The ML class is made up of 18 lessons, each consisting of a set of videos with in-video mini-quizzes, review questions and programming exercises (in GNU Octave<\/a>, similar to MatLab). Although I don\u2019t have the official score yet, by my own counting I have 800 of 890 points, of which 70 I lost by not making all of the last set of programming exercises due to being sick.<\/p>\n

Stanford offered 3 such online classes during Q4 of 2011 (AI, ML and databases), and is tripping this number in Q1 2012. As a response, MIT is going to extend on it\u2019s OpenCourseWare<\/a> platform. This is great news for online education, which has made huge strides in the last few years with things such as Khan Academy<\/a>, these online courses by universities and the Wikipedia Education Program<\/a> (more on which in my next blog post). If you want to teach yourself some new things, definitely check out these awesome<\/strong> programs \":)\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
