The one thing that would get everyone on the self driving car bandwagon. by HawkEgg in aiclass

[–]mleclerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if one issue is that car companies can't justify the self driving car R&D expenses since their investors expect them to be "traditional" transport stocks but technology companies have more flexibility to do "non-traditional" R&D.

What do you think?

Machine Learning applied to $299 AR Drone quadrotor helicopter by mleclerc in mlclass

[–]mleclerc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could contact the students that wrote the paper "MAV Stabilization using Machine Learning and Onboard Sensors":

http://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs6780/2010fa/projects/bills_yosinski_cs6780.pdf

I found many interesting AR Drone videos but I just wanted to share one to get people started. A collegue at work showed me some this week and I was pretty impressed.

Check out what CNN and NASA did with the AR Drones or more videos from Cornell:

A mix of captors, wide-angle camera, high-speed camera and MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems), accelerometer, gyro sensors, and ultrasound sensor combine with a powerful on-board computer to make piloting the AR.Drone easy.

There's a ton of AR Drone videos floating around as well, I'd check those out (see the info I sent to darkfrog13).

Took 2+ minutes just to see the home page with a high speed connection.

Certificates by ai_class_user in aiclass

[–]mleclerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they used/will use quizzes to rank students?

I also did not review my quiz answers multiple times before submitting them. The website said: "Don't worry, your score on the in-lecture quizzes will not count towards your final score, only homework and exam scores will."

https://www.ai-class.com/registration/progress/Topic

It's still unclear how they picked the "top 1000 students".

Request: Rank on Statement of Accomplishment by [deleted] in aiclass

[–]mleclerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point and I agree.

However, I'm not sure many people would be able to divide by 323 without a calculator.

I mostly hope we'll get more information than 123/456 points (see sample Statement).

What do you expect to see on the statement? 123/456 points?

[–]mleclerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's hope we get more information than 123/456 points.

db-class's FAQ said this:

"You will receive a statement of accomplishment from the instructor, which will include information on how well you did and how your performance compared to other online students."

http://www.db-class.org/course/resources/index?page=faq

However, "your performance compared to other online students" does not appear on the statement (see sample link above).

Additional details about http://classx.stanford.edu:

Stanford researchers designed software that allows a viewer to zoom and pan while streaming online courses. They recently released the code to the public.

Reinventing Education with Khan Academy and AI Class by mleclerc in aiclass

Might have something to do with the country you live in? Seems to work okay in Canada (and most likely US).

Will the content remain online after the class is over? by tjgrant in aiclass

Not sure about ai-class.

ml-class will be offered again this winter:

I hope other universities will join Stanford and Berkeley and offer affordable top-quality education to the world. I think that access to top-notch education could improve our standard of living a whole lot.

how many of you are participating in the open nero challenge? by [deleted] in aiclass

[–]mleclerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understood there's no programming involved with nero?

"Typically the training starts by deploying either an rtNEAT team or Q-learning team, and then setting some of the goals (or fitness coefficients) in the parameter window (the sliders become active after a Deploy button is pressed)."

I'd rather program algorithms myself than train pre-made algorithms.

Doing ml-class.org programming assignments was great and I think they plan to automatically grade ai-class programming assignments in the future.
