The Deep Learning Specialization consists of five different courses. The courses are free to take, but you need to sign up for a subscription of $49/month if you want access to the graded assignments or earn certificates. There is a seven day free trial. The individual courses are free, but you need to visit the course pages separately (you can't sign up to them from the Specialization page). Though the courses officially start on 15 August, the course materials for the first three courses are already available.

More than half a century later, the disciplines have graduated from the theoretical to practical, real world applications. We'll have some of the top minds in both categories to discuss the latest advances and future of AI and ML on stage and Disrupt San Francisco in just over a month. We'll be joined on stage by Brian Krzanich of Intel, John Giannandrea of Google, Sebastian Thrun of Udacity and Andrew Ng of Baidu, to outline the various ways these cutting edge technologies are already impacting our lives, from simple smart assistants, to self-driving cars. It's a broad range of speakers, which is good news, because we've got a lot of ground to cover in some of the industry's most exciting advances. John (JG) Giannandrea, SVP Engineering at Google: Giannandrea joined Google in 2010, when the company acquired his startup Metaweb Technologies, a move that formed the basis for the search giant's Knowledge Graph technology.

Say Machine Learning to someone, and if they recognize the term, they'll probably think, "tech company." But while the origin stories of transformative technologies like machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence often seem to take root in Silicon Valley, the truth is these are industry-agnostic innovations. Their impact is being felt across countless fields you might never have thought of as being ripe for technological advancement. Think about it like this: If you were a farmer, and someone came to you and said, there's a technology out there that can accurately predict your crop yields, would you be interested? Well, this is exactly what Descartes Labs does.

It would have been great to actually experience the online training by showing it's improvement on autopilot after training on each lap individually. Unfortunately it just cuts out and then shows it on autopilot so I guess we just have to take their word for it?

Andrew Ng is a soft-spoken AI researcher whose online postings talk loudly. A March blog post in which the Stanford professor announced he was leaving Chinese search engine Baidu temporarily wiped more than a billion dollars off the company's value. A June tweet about a new Ng website, Deeplearning.ai, Today that speculation is over. Deeplearning.ai is home to a series of online courses Ng says will help spread the benefits of recent advances in machine learning far beyond big tech companies such as Google and Baidu.

Even though I did not follow his older courses, they seem really appreciated, at least on this subreddit. I hope these new ones will set an even higher standard. That way, newcomers may share an identical set of notations, principles and methodologies so we can all focus on other tasks, such as visualization. You will practice all these ideas in Python and in TensorFlow. What do you guys think of this choice?

Machine Learning is one of the most exciting fields in the world. Every week we discover something new, something amazing, something revolutionary. That's why we created This Week in Machine Learning! Each week we publish a curated list of Machine Learning stories as a resource to help you keep pace with all these exciting developments. New posts will be published here first, and previous posts are archived on the Udacity blog.

This paper describes a new parameter-free online learning algorithm for changing environments. In comparing against algorithms with the same time complexity as ours, we obtain a strongly adaptive regret bound that is a factor of at least $\sqrt{\log(T)}$ better, where $T$ is the time horizon. Empirical results show that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art methods in learning with expert advice and metric learning scenarios.

In my 25 years of working with large datasets, from developing early machine learning algorithms for multimedia systems in the 1990s to optimizing the email marketing infrastructure at GSI Commerce in the 2000s and now applying machine learning to big data to find actionable insights in real time, I've seen the convergence of machine learning and marketing firsthand. This year, I'm excited to see how machine learning (ML), an artificial intelligence (AI) discipline geared toward the technological development of human knowledge, has impacted the marketing big data ecosystem. I'm also intrigued by how much room I see for growth in the future. Machine learning techniques are being used to solve many diverse problems, and we stand to benefit as we move towards a world of hyper-converged data, channels, content, and context -- having the right conversation at the right time with the right person in the right way. For us marketers, ML is about finding nuggets of "predictive" knowledge in the waves of structured and unstructured data.
