For those of you interested in this stuff, this course (10-702) is the second in a series. The 10-701 course, "Intro to Machine Learning", is a fantastic course as well, even if just for the exercises. This year's version is here [1], you can find lecture notes, links to lectures posted on YouTube, homeworks, readings, etc. You can also just google "10-701" and see a lot of previous course websites with similar mater…

Recent CMU alum here ('15). 10-701/702 are the intense higher level courses meant for ML PhD students. If you want something a little less mathematically rigorous and a little more application focused, consider the masters version of the course, 10-601. All if its material is available here online as well [1]. That said, if you are willing to put in the effort and have the mathematical background to tackle 701/702, y…

Thanks! One thing that can definitely set a course apart is having advanced topics + downloadable videos + captions. I really enjoyed the Stanford NLP CS224d videos, which hit all 3 and even have their own torrent [1]. Does anyone know if there's a platform for crowdsourcing video captions, maybe from the anime world? Edit: it appears as though you can correct the auto-generated captions on Youtube videos (perhaps on…

Interesting...seems like all the content is available. Last I remember, you needed a CMU ID to access the course materials.

They don't have to care about giving content away. The golden goose is the degree which is kept in artificially short supply and very expensive.

I would add assignment solutions to your list of desirable things. Makes it easy to keep moving after getting stuck.
