Machine Learning On Coursera By Andrew Ng

The machine learning class on Coursera by Dr. Andrew Ng is helping people all over the globe. Watching the videos and doing the assignments takes quite a lot of time and can be a struggle. After work, people can feel reluctant to sit in front of a computer for a couple more hours. But, it has been reported in the past that thousands of people, around 10%, are finishing. I'm not sure what the numbers are for the last session of the course that has recently ended. The professor tweeted he is going to work for Baidu now. Yet, another session appears to be scheduled to start June 16. Right now, I am half way through and am glad to restart this path because it seems like machine learning has been used in many applications, such as autonomous vehicles and computer vision. I don't yet see exactly how I will apply this, but I still feel grateful to Coursera and Dr. Ng for taking the time to help the world with this machine learning class.
