As it happens I have catalogued and ranked all mentions of Coursera courses on Hacker News - you'll note that many of the mentions in this current discussion appear there as well.
HN Academy: https://yahnd.com/academy/ https://yahnd.com/academy/
I've also more recently done the same thing with mentions of Coursera on Reddit: https://reddsera.com https://reddsera.com
Hope it helps!
- quotz 6y agoWow thanks!
- spsphulse 6y agoGreat job!! I looked at your HN profile & it looks like you’ve a knack for similar websites that compile information from comment threads. I suppose you’re using NLP, specifically NER. Is there a blogpost that details your general approach? Or could you suggest how to extract such information from threads?
- yaj54 6y agoNope - regular expressions all the way. :-) I keep thinking I'll move toward NER but keep finding other ways to find value first. Same answer regarding the blog...
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoI'd be very wary about this kind of resource given that Coursera is almost completely different from what it was 5 years ago. Some courses have been removed. More things have been pay-gated, including automated test suites for programming assignments. A comment from HN years ago about a Coursera course may well be misleading in 2020.
- yaj54 6y agoVery true. I try to mitigate this in some ways on my site, but it is certainly not perfect.
