Google Launches a Free Course on Artificial Intelligence: Sign Up for Its New “Machine Learning Crash Course”

in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Google, Online Courses | March 5th, 2018

As part of an effort to make Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence more com­pre­hen­si­ble to the broad­er pub­lic, Google has cre­at­ed an edu­ca­tion­al web­site Learn with Google AI, which includes, among oth­er things, a new online course called Machine Learn­ing Crash Course. The course pro­vides “exer­cis­es, inter­ac­tive visu­al­iza­tions, and instruc­tion­al videos that any­one can use to learn and prac­tice [Machine Learn­ing] con­cepts.” To date, more than 18,000 Googlers have enrolled in the course. And now it’s avail­able for every­one, every­where. You can sup­ple­ment it with oth­er AI cours­es found in the Relat­eds below.

Machine Learn­ing Crash Course will be added to our list of Free Online Com­put­er Sci­ence Cours­es, a sub­set of our col­lec­tion, 1,700 Free Online Cours­es from Top Uni­ver­si­ties.

New Deep Learning Courses Released on Coursera, with Hope of Teaching Millions the Basics of Artificial Intelligence

in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Online Courses | August 9th, 2017

FYI: If you fol­low edtech, you know the name Andrew Ng. He’s the Stan­ford com­put­er sci­ence pro­fes­sor, who co-found­ed MOOC-provider Cours­era and lat­er became chief sci­en­tist at Baidu. Since leav­ing Baidu, he’s been work­ing on three arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence projects, the first of which he unveiled yes­ter­day. On Medi­um, he wrote:

I have been work­ing on three new AI projects, and am thrilled to announce the first one: deeplearning.ai, a project ded­i­cat­ed to dis­sem­i­nat­ing AI knowl­edge, is launch­ing a new sequence of Deep Learn­ing cours­es on Cours­era. These cours­es will help you mas­ter Deep Learn­ing, apply it effec­tive­ly, and build a career in AI.

Speak­ing to the MIT Tech­nol­o­gy Review, Ng elab­o­rat­ed: “The thing that real­ly excites me today is build­ing a new AI-pow­ered soci­ety… I don’t think any one com­pa­ny could do all the work that needs to be done, so I think the only way to get there is if we teach mil­lions of peo­ple to use these AI tools so they can go and invent the things that no large com­pa­ny, or com­pa­ny I could build, could do.”

Andrew’s new 5‑part series of cours­es on Deep Learn­ing can be accessed here. Cours­es include: Neur­al Net­works and Deep Learn­ing, Improv­ing Deep Neur­al Net­works, Struc­tur­ing Machine Learn­ing Projects, Con­vo­lu­tion­al Neur­al Net­works, and Sequence Mod­els.

You can find these cours­es on our list of Free Com­put­er Sci­ence Cours­es, a sub­set of our col­lec­tion, 1,700 Free Online Cours­es from Top Uni­ver­si­ties.

Artificial Intelligence: A Free Online Course from MIT

in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, MIT, Online Courses | May 29th, 2017

Today we’re adding MIT’s course on Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence to our ever-grow­ing col­lec­tion, 1,700 Free Online Cours­es from Top Uni­ver­si­ties. That’s because, to para­phrase Ama­zon’s Jeff Bezos, arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) is “not just in the first inning of a long base­ball game, but at the stage where the very first bat­ter comes up.” Look around, and you will find AI everywhere–in self dri­ving cars, Siri on your phone, online cus­tomer sup­port, movie rec­om­men­da­tions on Net­flix, fraud detec­tion for your cred­it cards, etc. To be sure, there’s more to come.

Fea­tur­ing 30 lec­tures, MIT’s course “intro­duces stu­dents to the basic knowl­edge rep­re­sen­ta­tion, prob­lem solv­ing, and learn­ing meth­ods of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence.” It includes inter­ac­tive demon­stra­tions designed to “help stu­dents gain intu­ition about how arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence meth­ods work under a vari­ety of cir­cum­stances.” And, by the end of the course, stu­dents should be able “to devel­op intel­li­gent sys­tems by assem­bling solu­tions to con­crete com­pu­ta­tion­al prob­lems; under­stand the role of knowl­edge rep­re­sen­ta­tion, prob­lem solv­ing, and learn­ing in intel­li­gent-sys­tem engi­neer­ing; and appre­ci­ate the role of prob­lem solv­ing, vision, and lan­guage in under­stand­ing human intel­li­gence from a com­pu­ta­tion­al per­spec­tive.”

Taught by Prof. Patrick Hen­ry Win­ston, the lec­tures can all be viewed above. Or watch them on YouTube and iTunes. Relat­ed course mate­ri­als (includ­ing a syl­labus) can be found on this MIT web­site. The text­book, avail­able on Ama­zon, was writ­ten by Pro­fes­sor Win­ston.
