EDU. Machine Learning. Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI. In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself.
This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning, datamining, and statistical pattern recognition. TEDxSaintGeorgesSchool - Pat Bassett - Schools of the Future. Lessons Worth Sharing. MIT launches student-produced educational video initiative. MIT student-produced video on rockets (Credit: MIT) MIT has launched an initiative in collaboration with Khan Academy founder Salman Khan called MIT+K12 that encourages its students to produce short videos teaching basic concepts in science and engineering . The videos — aimed at students in grades from kindergarten through high school — will be accessible through a dedicated MIT website and YouTube channel .
Some of the videos will also be available on Khan Academy , a popular not-for-profit educational site. “We wanted to help inspire young people to change the world through engineering and science, and realized that the 10,000 superstar students we have at MIT are uniquely positioned to do that,” says Ian A. Waitz, dean of the School of Engineering and the Jerome C. Hunsaker Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics. MIT+K12 also offers opportunities for K-12 students and teachers to communicate with the MIT students making the videos, and vice versa. Making science and engineering cool. EdX - Home.
