"hire" education, ey? /scnr

edit: also, according to Wikipedia, he does not hold a PhD in CS from MIT.

"Fridman was born in Moscow, and after moving to the United States he studied at Drexel University, where he received a B.S. (Bachelor of Science), M.S. (Master of Science), and a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy)."

Thanks for pointing out. I was told by people that he has a PhD from MIT. I should have checked for my self.

So, how does he claim to lecture at the MIT on Deep Learning? Does MIT just let anyone lecture about ML?

MIT 6.S094: Introduction to Deep Learning and Self-Driving Cars (Fridman) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L0TKZQcUtA&t=39s

Is his lecture any good in your opinion? I scrubbed through several and all I got is him gushing vaguely about some actual ML researchers and stumbling over his own technical slides. What am I missing that this is somehow good enough for MIT?

He worked at MIT as a researcher.
