Lesson 1 Overview

[Saidice]

As someone who experienced a less-than-stellar undergraduate computer science education this course has been life changing for me. Words fail to express my gratitude.

[CosmicPapaya]

Hello Jeremy and Rachel, . The words "Thank you" are not enough to express the gratitude I have for the both of you. Bless you both! I look forward to soaking up all the information you have shared here.

Rachel and Jeremy, thank you for doing this. I am so grateful that you guys don't just hide in some office and publish papers that less than 20 people worldwide could understand. Instead, you are creating materials for more and more people to understand and make use of things that are otherwise extremely hard to underatand. This is really what intelligent people are supposed to do.

Hello Jeremy & Rachel,

I was in a quest to find out a proper guide and tutorial towards learning "Deep Learning"
at its best and most formal method available and I still can't believe that I've finally
found it through the course that you are providing online. I came across an advert on KDnuggets.

I have no words to appreciate your effort and to thank you
both enough. Please kindly continue providing us with lectures such as this
and I will definitely do all I can to support your efforts in anyway possible.

To be able to provide a course of this quality and that too for free, is just incredible.
It's a noble service that is commendable for Data Sciences!

Dinesh,
Data Scientist (IBM)

Just watched Lesson 1 Overview. Within the first 60 seconds I was sold. I liked the human touch, the sincerity of Jeremy and Rachel, the quirkiness of their personalities, the brick-by-brick building of the thesis for their approach to instructing ML. One nit, I can follow Jeremy at 2x speed playback but Rachel requires 1.25x. I assume that's because she's plus .75x smarter. My compromise is to watch at 1.5x. Maybe someday youtube will auto-adjust playback speed based on how fast the speaker is talking.

Watched about 5 min so far, but wanted to express my joy at finding this!!! You describe my situation perfectly. Coding day job, but aspirations of AI type stuff, but hard to get into, and everything is so math-centric right off the bat that I end up going and studying math theory for a month and then get lost in all the mathmatics and symbols. Cannot wait to see what you both have created for learning more code-centric

Thank you so much for this wonderful deep learning course with ground-breaking teaching approach!

[vteodorescu]

Rachel and Jeremy - many thanks for the effort of putting all this priceless knowledge out there, and respect for the deep thinking and the desire to make the world better behind it all!

I'm software engineer 34 years old as of November 2017, I would like to learn about deep learning.. I agree with you that DP can change society as electricity already has... This is a really exciting field.. thanks!

[dannyiskandar]

Jeremy and Rachel thank you for doing this, I got a feeling this is going to be awesome and fulfilling experience. What you guys are doing are just beyonds words! Pls keep it up.

[debuin]

ok, i have been really late to actually start studying ML, but you guys are so so perfectly paced...I teach as well...but i wish I can be more like you guys...god bless....love you both for doing this..maybe i am very late in saying but you both have done the developer community a HUGE huge favor...

[krothapalliswaroop]

Came here from quora. Started the course just now, hopefully I will be able to finish the course and use it in practice

[drack]

I was recommended to follow this course after the Andrew Ng course at Coursera, which was fantastic. Just watched this lesson i feel this will be awesome! thank you.

[shengwang]

Thanks Jeremy. It's a wonderful course.

[achavan]

Very grateful for the course. Keep up the good work.

[MemberWing]

Thank you Jeremy and Rachel.
I stumbled upon your course via news.ycombinator.com and your course has awakened an interesting excitement within me - intuitive realization of amazing potential that DL is about to bring to humanity without personal practical experiential understanding of "how" and "why" it works.

Currently working through Part 1 and looking forward to hopefully be taking part 2 in person in SF.

I've never clicked that sub button so quick!

[dzxxbj]

I think it is very right. We live then we have life or at the same time.

[jamvasili]

what is the jupyter theme you are using? looks great!!

[dkloke]

Are there transcripts available for any of the video material?
