The Machine Learning Stanford course

I have started the Machine Learning course provided by Stanford engineering. I’ll be posting my experiences in this blog in the following weeks. I have decided to enrol in this course because of three reasons:

During my university years I was really into AI, and at that time Machine Learning was not as present as it is today (we did a great neural network course, and of course Bayes and decision trees) but the curricula was centred around classic AI, so this is a good opportunity to learn new techniques and have a good time.

Secondly, this will be my first academic non classroom based course. I’ve gone through different corporate distance learning, but never a university course and I’m highly interested in checking how it works.

Finally, I want to see how university courses work in the states. During my university years we (students and teachers) used to think our computing courses were not as good as the ones taught in the American universities. I want to see if we were right.

So, expect during the following weeks to start reading about my experiences. And if some one from Barcelona wants to meet to do some exercises, please send me an email.
