  • Can't you just look at the camera?!

  • why do they have to be so stereotypical geeks? anyway, if you can make lots of money with this shit, i guess it doesnt matter

  • @bizso09 for example look at Christopher Bishop. He's a leading scientist in Machine Learning, but when he talks he's got so much confidence, good posture, deep voice. Seriously, you can learn communication skills, it's not that hard.

  • people are being offered free knowledge yet they bitch about people being nervous in front of the camera. grow up.

  • I already love these professors, especially Mr. Nod on the left.

  • This course is great but I wish they were more confident, for them and for me and it looks really strange this way, as if I dont listen to humans but to robots

  • Interesting subject.

    

  • Please Do the course and then tell me if any of the techniques described could "understand" this:"My friend made a snowman in the cold winter night. He brought it in and put it close to the fire place for the rest of us to see the next day. In the morning the snowman was mysteriously gone."

    See if any NLP method on this course would extract "meaning".

    For example human would wonder:Was snowman made of snow?Your friend retarded or a child?Was fire on?Who moved the snowman?etc.

    I don't think so.

  • HOW A WORD(and what it represents) IS REPRESENTED IN THE BRAIN?

    HOW QUESTIONS ARE FORMULATED AND REPRESENTED IN THE BRAIN?

    Why we are so stupid and want our systems to give us answers when what we really need are systems capable of asking relevant questions?

    The scientific method begins with "ask a question".To have THINKING MACHINES we NEED to start from the beginning.

    The reason I will not subscribe for this course is because it is another example of "beating around the bush" of the real AI.

  • @gespilk I hear what you say, but then you'll be missing out on a more natural way of commanding a computer. And all the while you'll be waiting for something that is not going to happen in your lifetime, if ever (strong AI).

  • @someman7

    The field of AI is around since the invention of the keyboard and the mouse - about 50-ish years ago. N.Chomsky with his grammar made some progress in NLP.Soon it became clear that is not enough to achieve the "natural way of commanding a computer".Half a century later we still use keyboards and mice! Instead,we were suppose to talk to our PCs and they were suppose to understand us!Just recently we began to use limited gestures.

    Instead of NPL we should look at how to extract MEANING.

  • @gespilk you use the keyboard because speech recognition is hard. the big players have built systems which are usable but not perfect. when you you type, words are not ambigous unlike you produce sound.

    now what NLP does is it takes the words (whether typed or derived from speech, doesn't matter), and does precisely what you say - it tries to extract the "MEANING" (semantics) from them. strong AI theory proposes no magical step, it requires refining existing methods.

  • great...i can't wait to join it:)

  • I read Prof Manning's "Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing" a while ago, very well written. This is a fascinating subject.

  • These folks are true eminences of their field and you wont take the class because they read? wow, how stupid people can be?

  • Absolutely love Chris' accent.

  • hard to believe that professors at Stanford and authors of best-selling books can't even speak for a minute each especially on a subject that they are teaching for "12" years... they have to READ it out!!!

    i'm never gonna take any course by these 2.....

  • Will you teach me how not to use teleprompter/memory and just read something HALF A METER TO THE RIGHT OF THE CAMERA ....

    seriously guys, just watching this put me off your course :(

  • It would be much better if you just speak, instead of reading :-). Anyway, what are the fees for this course? Btw. love your books.

  • @macias102 Its free!

  • @macias102 Its free... and if you havent noticed i think they are kind of nervous, thats why they read, its a speech they have to give to an audiance they dont know... different from being in a class, i dont know them but it seems they know their stuff and i would definitely join this class...

  • @Suroshi Xactly

  • @Suroshi

    I *do* know these guys (not personally) and they are two of the biggest names in Computational Linguistics and NLP. I don't know anyone who couldn't learn anything from these guys.

    Also, I'm sure they give lots of talks to various audiences. I think they're just used to talking in a very careful way, because getting it right is more important that sounding confident. They're not car salesmen.

  • @macias102 The course is free.

  • @macias102 free

  • Good stuff!!!! :)
