Andrew Ng, Co-Founder of Coursera, Returns to MOOC Teaching With New AI Course - EdSurge News

Andrew Ng taught one of the most-viewed online courses of all time--more than 1.5 million people have registered to take one of the many sequences of his free online course about machine learning. That experience spurred him to co-found Coursera. Today Ng announced that this summer he's launching sequels to that blockbuster, with a series of courses on the AI concept known as deep learning. For the past two years Ng had been applying concepts of deep learning in the commercial sector, as a chief scientist for the Chinese tech giant Baidu. But he left that company in March, and since then has been working on three undisclosed projects in AI.
