Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.31,0:00:04.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This Fall quarter, Stanford University will be offering online for free
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.11,0:00:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Machine Learning course that I teach.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.88,0:00:09.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Machine Learning has a typical enrolment of 350 students in Stanford
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.79,0:00:13.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is one of the most popular courses offered by the Computer science department.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.41,0:00:17.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Over 200'000 people have watched my Machine Learning lectures on YouTube.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.41,0:00:20.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Based on this popularity, this year, we're doing something completely new:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.85,0:00:24.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're not just showing you videos, we're inviting you to sign up for
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.53,0:00:27.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actively participating and take this Stanford class.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.43,0:00:30.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is Machine Learning? You probably use it dozens of times a day,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.76,0:00:32.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without even knowing it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.31,0:00:34.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Each time you do a web search on Google or Bing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.79,0:00:39.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that works so well because their machine learning software has figured out how to rank webpages.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.50,0:00:44.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Facebook or Apple's photo application recognizes your friends and your pictures,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.37,0:00:45.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's also machine learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.82,0:00:49.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Each time you read your email and the spam filter saves you
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.01,0:00:51.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from having to wade through tons of spam,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.15,0:00:56.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,again, that's because your computer has learned to distinguish spam from non-spam email.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.62,0:00:58.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's machine learning.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.36,0:01:02.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.38,0:01:06.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the research projects that I'm working on is getting robots to tidy the house.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.85,0:01:08.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do you go about doing that?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.24,0:01:12.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, what you can do is have the robot watch you demonstrate the task, and learn from that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.88,0:01:16.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The robot can then watch what objects you pick up and where to put them,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.64,0:01:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and try to do the same thing even when you aren't there.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.33,0:01:21.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, one of the reasons I'm excited about this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.57,0:01:24.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the AI or artificial intelligence problem,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.74,0:01:28.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,building truly intelligent machines which can do just about anything that you or I can do.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.94,0:01:31.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many scientists think the best way to make progress on this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.45,0:01:34.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is through learning algorithms called the "neural networks"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.45,0:01:36.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which mimick how the human brain works
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.33,0:01:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll teach about that too.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.28,0:01:42.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this class, you'll learn about machine learning and get to implement them yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.05,0:01:44.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This class will have homeworks and programming assignments,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.65,0:01:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you successfully complete this class, you'll also get from me a signed Statement of Accomplishments
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.96,0:01:53.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stating how you did in the class and which you can put in your resumé.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.49,0:01:56.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I hope you sign up on our web site and join us this Fall.
