Berkeley Computer Vision Class
- mgallivan 15y agoComputer Vision is a very interesting domain. If you're considering taking this course, do.
- zackattack 15y agoIt's one of the classes I regret not taking in college, so I signed up. But I remember hardly anything from my Linear Algebra -- and I never really developed an intuition for the grand significance of, say, eigenvalues.
- seiji 15y agoAre other people in this "want to know more, but forgot most of the base material" level? I've been working on an education project that'll get you from probability and statistics through linear algebra up to machine intelligence and computer vision. It'll also have "normal people" tracks like nutrition/fitness and understanding happiness in our mad, mad world. Think of it as those stanford courses, but more organized, better produced, less transient, and with in person office hours (weekly in palo alto and SF). If you'd like details, or a trial, or if you're brilliant and want to help or make course materials, email me. The more people bug me about finishing it, the quicker it'll get finished.
- mgallivan 15y agoI think it will only serve to hammer home the mathematical concepts. Best of luck!
- AUmrysh 15y agoI second this! I took on learning OpenCV and writing an object recognition program for my independent study in college. It's nothing spectacular, but if you 'get' the basics, you can do some pretty crazy stuff with combinations of the primitive operations.
- radicaldreamer 15y agoIsn't this what Vicarious is trying to do?
- le_isms 15y agoI took CV in college and it completely changed how I looked at math/programming. Highly recommended!!
- exim 15y agoFor me, it changed how I looked at statistics. It was irrelevant regarding programming in general.
- apu 15y agoJitendra Malik, the instructor for this course, is a giant in the field of Computer Vision. I've heard he's also a fantastic teacher.
- brown9-2 15y agoI wonder if this Berkeley offering has anything to do with why the other Stanford/Coursera courses have all been delayed. The most recent emails claimed the delay was for "legal/administrative issues". I wonder how Stanford feels about Coursera working with Berkeley also.
- bdon 15y agoDoubtful. Some of the already-scheduled course offerings feature Berkeley faculty: http://www.saas-class.org/ http://www.saas-class.org/ http://www.security-class.org/ http://www.security-class.org/
- karpathy 15y agoIt does not. The email that was sent out was sincere. As far as I know, there are some legal hurdles that are taking longer to resolve than was originally anticipated, relating for example to accessibility issues etc.
- anthonycerra 15y agoI'm relatively young (25) and I still get goosebumps whenever I see online courses on cutting edge technologies offered by universities for free. What an amazing time to be alive.
- dpeck 15y agoIn the interest of keeping you from making the mistake again, and possibly in company that wouldn't be forgiving, the term "ivy league" isn't a generic term for academically prestigious schools but refers to a specific group of schools in the northeast us. Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. http://etcweb.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/ivy_league.html http://etcweb.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/ivy_league.h...
- anthonycerra 15y agoedited, thanks for the correction!
- mattyb 15y agoNot that it makes any difference, but Berkeley isn't an Ivy League school.
