Andrew Ng's Classroom Lectures for ML

Here's two other sets of lectures that I'm really enjoying:

1) CMU graduate-level machine learning class: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom/10701_sp11/lectures.shtml

2) Mathematicalmonk's machine learning lectures: http://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk?blend=7&ob=...

I liked the one from CMU.

The instructor in that course is Tom Mitchel. He wrote one of the most used texts on ML (Machine Learning, Tom Mitchell, McGraw Hill, 1997.)

Is there any substantial difference between this and the 2008 version on YouTube?

There's no way of knowing just yet. This offering is still in progress.

Is it the same class though, as the one in 2008? And if you watched the lectures available so far, did you think they're a good choice for supplementing the ml-class.org's lectures? I was thinking about starting on the 2008 lectures for that exact purpose.

Thanks for the link, by the way!

this is the the same class. having taken it last year (and taking Stanford's version of ml-class), this is a great choice for a more thorough exploration of the (mathematically) finer points of the methods covered in ml-class.

Although I'm hoping to stop doing that soon, I have been able to avoid watching many of the videos so far since they seem to be very similar to the concepts covered in the class last year. Prof. Ng's notes for this class (available at http://cs229.stanford.edu/materials.html) are also quite helpful for refreshing the finer points of algorithms.

Why are the only two choices Silverlight or Flash? In this day and age there is no reason to be putting up Internet video that mobile devices can't access, especially if the Silverlight/Flash player is just wrapping a H.264 stream.

This title is ambiguous unfortunately. I clicked, expecting ML the language family.

That's true, but Andrew Ng's name is enough of a hint to make ML unambiguous for many people.

Play in Silverlight.

Cause that's always the best way to get your message across.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. Silverlight, at least for video, is a complete farce.

We like comments that promote thoughtful discussion about the article or the subjects they are about. The grandparent comment is not a good comment when judged by this standard. It is not really related to the subject at hand and if it actually did start discussion it would be a hindrance and distraction.

If it had not been the bottom comment already I would have probably downvoted it for these reasons.
