Statistical Aspects of Data Mining (Stats 202) Day 1

Google Tech Talks
June 26, 2007

ABSTRACT

This is the Google campus version of Stats 202 which is being taught at Stanford this summer. I will follow the material from the Stanford class very closely. That material can be found at www.stats202.com. The main topics are exploring and visualizing data, association analysis, classification, and clustering. The textbook is Introduction to Data Mining by Tan, Steinbach and Kumar. Googlers are welcome to attend any classes which they think might be of interest to them. Credits: Speaker:David Mease

Google is a very good instructor. I am hooked. I graduated in 1995 and have been wanting more education. This is a good place for me to come and attend lecture at my leisure. I am really enjoying this.

I wish YouTube was a little smarter about letting vids be posted as a linked series. It's a pain in the butt having to find the next vid every time.

So what? Opera and Firefox were already there. There is no logical reason for using IE, specially IE6... :P

[asymmetrisch]

Probably because this video is from 2007 when the Google Chrome browser was still in development.

[Henrique Pinto]

Why the hell is he using IE??

[robbie lee]

That didn't make any sense, perhaps a loss in translation. The only thing you said correct is that we do need more skilled workers and not workers purporting to be skilled; which is alot of what comes into the country.

Globalization is good only to the owners of corporations and their leaders. When corporations hire from abroad, it is only to reduce their labor costs. There are plenty of highly skilled American technology workers, but companies lobby Congress for more foreign technology visas so they can pay employees less. It has the effect of suppressing wages in this field globally. This hurts both Indians and American technology workers.
