Is there a reason to assume that people who would participate are the kinds that would have gotten "a C in calculus?" Also, where are you seeing that the administrators of this course are suggesting that students will be fully prepared to be hired as ML practitioners as soon as they finish?
- aje403 9y agoI'm not seeing the administrators do anything of the sort - responding to the guy above me suggesting that these courses could be a factor in a potential glut of professionals in the field. I am definitely being harsh in my analysis - however, try to picture the average software developer or student attempting to learn this. I'm seeing a lecture on deep generative models. Crack open the deep learning bible and crack open to that chapter - reading through that and understanding everything will realistically be way beyond the ability of most of the people attempting the course. If I were hiring someone to use RBM's or an autoencoder or something like that, I'd want to be positive they have a strong understanding of them - in the same way you might ask a software dev in an interview some stupid bubblesort question to ensure he didn't copy his friends code to get his degree.
