Re: Artificial Intelligence Graduate Certificate
#2Not sure if people remember but Stanford in collaboration with Sebastian Thrun offered one of the first online educational course in Machine Learning. This piqued my interest in ML and I enrolled & completed the course from one of the most rural parts of India (I had to create an extension antenna for my 3g phone to get better reception).
Udacity was born due to the popularity of this course.
Can't thank Sebastian and Stanford enough for this free course.

#3If one's goal is to work at OpenAI, FAIR, or DeepMind, which would be a better use of time — obtaining this certificate or getting quality papers into NIPS / ICML?
Re: Artificial Intelligence Graduate Certificate
#4Would anyone recommend this over doing a masters degree in the similar area of study but at a local university (ie. not Standford)?

#5How do people in industry generally view these types of certificate programs? Is it markedly "worse" than doing e.g. a Master's on campus?
Also - is this closer to a Master's level program or part of an undergraduate curriculum?

I'm curious about this as well.
I have interest in AI, but I'm not sure how companies would see this online degree (even through it is from Stanford).

#7Are ML/AI certificate holders competing for the same jobs as ML/AI PhD graduates? I have a list of follow up questions to this but it seems like there's a lot of hype for ML/AI/DeepLearning but no definitive way to track this new job market. These online programs, although more accessible, are doing the same thing as their physical campus counter part and not being transparent about what to expect after finishing their programs.

That's a [edit:perfectly fine] example to choose for a Stanford MOOC, since Coursera was started based on the success of Andrew Ng's machine learning course.

Thrun's course was offered earlier* and Udacity launched earlier. What's funny?
* edit: I just learned the courses were simultaneous.
Udacity launched June 2011, Coursera April 2012, according to Wikipedia.

#10Oh well, as someone who is currently enrolled into Udacity's Self-driving car and AI nanodegrees, watching ongoing MIT's self-driving course, considering taking GATech's online M.S. degree for ML, I should probably start planning budget for this Stanford offering...
