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…

What I'm wondering is: where do I go on the internet to find other people who are interested in studying and discussing a particular online class?

It could be a mailing list, or a subreddit or whatever. Ideally it would also provide a way to put together a group of people to start on a new course. Does anything like this exist already?

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…

Have you taken a look at Caltech's learning from data ? do you know how it compares to this one?
