Join Coursera Co-Founder, Andrew Ng in inspiring others to explore Machine Learning by sharing your story. #LearnML
Please join me in inspiring others to study Machine Learning. Regardless of where you learned Machine Learning, if it has had an impact on you or your work, please share your story on Facebook or Twitter in a short written or video post. I will invite the people who shared the 5 most inspirational stories to join me in a conversation on Google Hangout about the future of machine learning.
Here are instructions on how to participate:
- Compose your response to the prompt “Because I learned machine learning, I now…”
- Either (a) Write a facebook post, or (b) Use a webcam or personal camera to record yourself sharing your story, keeping your video to one minute or shorter.
- Use the hashtag #LearnML to share your written or video post on Facebook or Twitter. Make sure the video is marked as public* so that we can find it!
- Post your text or video story by Sunday, November 29, 2015 at 11.59pm Pacific Standard Time. I’ll announce winning videos the week of December 7.
With the growth of digital data, machine learning is becoming more important every day. Stanford’s Machine Learning course on Coursera recently surpassed 1,000,000 enrollments. But even with this milestone, we’re far from tackling all of the amazing challenges that can be solved with machine learning.
Inspiration is a powerful force that lifts people up. We can make the world a better place by creating more machine learning developers. Please join me and help inspire your friends and others to #LearnML!
Sincerely,
Andrew Ng

Reflections on the Paris attacks from Coursera CEO Rick Levin
Friday night’s horrendous attack on Paris fills us all with grief and dismay. We grieve for the victims, their friends and families, and we are dismayed that the communities we have built and the human connections we cherish can feel so suddenly vulnerable.
History teaches us that extremism – insistence that one is in possession of the unique truth – leads to suffering. Years ago, the British philosopher Isaiah Berlin identified the dangers of “the pursuit of the ideal.” Those who adhere to belief systems - religious or secular - that claim absolute certainty about what is right and wrong are almost inevitably drawn to persecuting those who hold other perspectives.
The extremism that motivated the events in Paris, 9/11 in New York, and other recent conspiracies across the Middle East and Africa is not unique. It has many precursors – from the Inquisition, to the witch trials of colonial New England, to the mass executions that sparked World War II, to ethnic cleansing in Cambodia. Blind adherence to ideology, a conviction that one alone is in possession of the whole and genuine truth, is a recipe for disaster.
Here at Coursera, along with our university and educational institution partners around the world, we are confronting extremism through education. Through our skills-based courses and Specializations, we hope to offer millions the opportunity to escape the socioeconomic conditions that are conducive to extremism. And through our liberal arts courses, we seek to challenge established beliefs, confront closed-mindedness, and encourage learners to think for themselves.
The truths obtained by critical thinking are rarely if ever certainties; they are contingent and provisional, subject to revision if confronted by superior logic or disconfirming evidence. And because our truths are not certainties, we learn to tolerate those who reach different conclusions. Toleration allows us to hear opposing views, and open-mindedness allows us to refine our views of what is true, and our views of how to live an ethical life.
If we are tolerant, we can live in peace and harmony with those we cannot persuade. If we are open-minded and reason independently and creatively, we can improve ourselves as ethical beings, and we can, if we choose, make the world a better place. Universal access to high quality education can advance these objectives and aspirations.
Freedom, toleration, and open-mindedness: these are values that propel the great academic institutions that are our partners. Even as we grieve for the victims of the terror inflicted in Paris, we will go on with our worthy work, fighting terrorism through education. We invite learners of all backgrounds to join us in forming a community based on mutual respect, intellectual curiosity, and the pursuit of a better world.
Rick Levin
CEO of Coursera

My third B&W interpretation of the Sólheimasandur plane crash site in southern Iceland. This is the first version….http://ift.tt/1EwBj2c The second version….. http://ift.tt/1lfBWbq On November 4th, 1973 this United States Navy C-117 (military version of a DC-3) ran out of fuel during a storm and crash landed on the black sand beach at Sólheimasandur. Apparently the crew either did not realize they had a full second fuel tank or they were unable to switch over to the full tank. No one was injured in the crash, but while attempting to recover the wreckage, a helicopter crashed and several people were killed. After the failed recovery attempt, the US Navy decided to abandon the plane and left it for the local farm to deal with as he pleased. The farmer quickly realized the second fuel tank was full and he used this fuel to power his farm tractors. He also later sold the tail section of the plane to a man who made a hotel out of a DC-3. **Please click on the image for optimal viewing!** Press F if you like it! via 500px http://ift.tt/1I1FyGV
