More Stanford online courses
#1
Stanford is now accepting registrations for next year's online courses, including:

- CS 101 by Nick Parlante @ cs101-class.org
- Natural Language Processing by Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning @ nlp-class.org
- Software Engineering for SAAS by Armando Fox and David Patterson @ saas-class.org
- Human-Computer Interfaces by Scott Klemmer @ hci-class.org
- Game Theory by Matthew Jackson and Yoav Shoham @ game-theory-class.org
- Probabilistic Graphical Models by Daphne Koller @ pgm-class.org

And the currently ongoing Machine Learning class by Andrew Ng @ jan2012.ml-class.org (Same class as current ml-class.org).

I'm probably biting off more than I could chew, but I want to take both the software engineering and the graphical models classes. The latter seems useful for Machine Learning, or the other way around, it employs some Machine Learning skills. Oh, I'll also surf CS101 just for fun and pick up any new intuition if at all.
All this stuff on top of 2nd quarter Physics, Differential Equations and Logic classes. It's gonna be a fun new year.

I ended up being unable to do AI and ML as other stuff happened in my life around the same time.

I am however seriously considering taking Game Theory.

Machine Learning turned out to be very fun and promising. I'm so glad i chose it over database.

IMO the video lessons in ML are a lot easier to follow than the DB ones, I'm doing okay in both though. And I knew less about DB to start with so there's some bias that way.

pgm and hci are the ones I'm most curious about, will have to look into them before the start of next term.

They seem to have added several more classes:

- Design and Analysis of Algorithms I by Tim Roughgarden
- Cryptography by Dan Boneh
- And two Entrepreneurship classes

Just when I thought I was going to take it easy next semester and not do more Standford classes and take my load back to 15 hours this happens.
Now I've signed up for Machine Learning, Cryptography, Game Theory and Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
Oh well, I'll just do my easy irl classes I guess. Time to start working on my Psychology Minor and procrastinate my Computer Engineering Major. -.-
Hopefully they will be as easy as the AI Class they offered this semester, that class is fun Smile

I could use CS 101. I never took that in college.

Are these actual credited-transferable class?

No, they are knowledge mines.

EDIT: Some dude wrote an application for ML Logistic Regression. http://ml-shooter-experiment.appspot.com/play.html
Pretty darned cool in my opinion.
