Julia Academy: Learn ML, Parallel Programming, Julia and More
- gregors 7y agoyou can get to it by https://juliaacademy.com/ https://juliaacademy.com/
- rajesh-s 7y agoAre these certified courses or audit only?
- ViralBShah 7y agoAt the moment they are audit only. We would love to explore possibilities around certification and what people would find helpful.
- krastanov 7y agoI am excited to see something like this, but this website would inspire way more confidence if there was an "about us" page describing who/what/why. On the other hand, some of the courses are written by very prominent people in the Julia community, so there is some minimal amount of legitimacy already present.
- ViralBShah 7y agoYes, we'll put it up shortly. It is basically put together by Julia Computing, and we expect to recruit more content now that we have a basic set of materials.
- wodenokoto 7y agoWhy Kent instead of flux? I’ve never tried Julia, but looking at the sidelines it always seemed that flux is what makes Julia special for neural networks.
- krastanov 7y agoThe first-class auto-differentiation seems to me like the special bit in Julia for machine learning (not only neural networks). Flux/Zygote is only one of the tools for that (but it is indeed what I view as most promising at the moment). Do check out cassette as well. However, for the restricted set of autodiff supported by libraries like Tensorflow, basically any of the Julia tools are good enough.
- newen 7y agoThe creator of Knet is a professor and he teaches a class using Knet, so he must have tons of material available. If you look at the Knet docs compared to the Flux docs, the Knet docs are much more educational and explains things a lot better.
- trollied 7y agoI always think of ML https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language) when people abbreviate Machine Learning to ML :(
- jonsen 7y agoI too used to, but have realized that almost never is the language referred to as “ML”. It would rather be SML or another dialect name.
- lolinder 7y agoThe one context I've seen ML show up as such is when referring to the family as a whole, rather than a specific dialect. I must admit I had the same reaction to this post, and thought that calling it Julia Academy was odd if they were going to teach other languages.
- NikkiA 7y agoSML is a ML but ML is it's own pre-SML language too.
- mumblemumble 7y agoRight, but one that died before what I'm guessing is the average birth date of hacker news readers. It's probably at least as hard to find a pre-SML ML compiler that will run on a microcomputer as it is to find a SML compiler that can understand the code examples from any SML book written before 1997.
- NikkiA 7y agoProbably, i've tried once or twice to find a pre-SML ML compiler, but not had any luck so far.

- chauhankiran 7y agoI'm facing Error 1014 CNAME Cross-User Banned error.
- ViralBShah 7y agoIt's fixed now.
- rs23296008n1 7y agoI'll probably get downvoted to oblivion as punishment for reporting but I got this error when going to https://www.juliaacademy.com/ https://www.juliaacademy.com/: Error 1014 CNAME Cross-User Banned What happened? You've requested a page on a website that is part of the Cloudflare network. The host is configured as a CNAME across accounts on Cloudflare, which is prohibited by security policy.
- ViralBShah 7y agoThanks for reporting. JuliaAcademy is back up again.
- sa1 7y agoStill see it.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoNot sure why you expect downvoting. Thanks for the warning.
- rs23296008n1 7y agoIve seen web site down reports get downvoted and criticised. Even basic questions relevant to a article can be downvoted or responded to in blatant hostility. Just a set of patterns Ive seen. I rarely post now.
- KenoFischer 7y agoSorry about that. I've let the team know and they'll be taking a look shortly once folks are awake. Not sure what happened here, the site was up fine until now.
- Datenstrom 7y agoThese look like great introductions, will there be more advanced courses available at some point? I especially love Flux but I've already written some more advanced networks in it like ResNets to test drive Julia.
- sebastos 7y agoOpen source by any chance? :) I've been hunting for some examples of more modern detection networks written in Flux - particularly CenterNet. Seems like the only built-in examples they have are toys though.
- plg 7y agoPlease don’t call it “free” if I have to “enroll” and hand over information in order to watch the videos. They’re not free. They cost me information/privacy.
- monkeywork 7y agouggg... if you are so concerned just give them fake info...
- juliaaadhaar 7y agoYeah, next up they will be requiring an iris and fingerprint scan to authenticate you into the system for watching the videos...read Viral’s book about it.
