From a person self-studying Artificial Intelligence, thank you so much for publishing this playlist! It is truly a great resource for me.
These lectures are awesome! I dont know how integration and these transformations work, but I like the way Mr. Winston is teaching. Its all very clear, simple and structured that makes it easy to follow and its also very interesting how he is solving problems. Another fact is that other instructors get lost even with notes, presentations and materials and hes just doing it out of mind and that show that he unterstood what hes talking about!
Damn this course is good. My AI course began with "this is a node, this is a breadth first search, this is a..., you memorize this to pass the exam", this deals with the core concepts which I find more beneficial.
The calculus problem is much more interesting (and far less patronizing) than the typical "A traveler wants to get from city A to city C..." and I appreciate that about it.
Who else in quarantine and chilling with these lectures?
I'm literally sat here, open mouthed, trying to understand why nobody tried to teach calculus this way. Splitting into safe and heuristic operations, and formalising the approach to solving problems would have really helped back when I was studying mathematics.
I wish I could be a student at MIT. Awesome education,thanks for sharing as we believe knowledge is freedom.
Knowlegde about knowledge is power! -Professor
Thanks a lot for the free content. Im one of those cases that cant go to college because of cronic illness, so this is the best type of content for self teaching. :D
Prof - "So this then, forms the core of an integration program, that will integrate almost nothing. But actually, almost nothing is integrable anyways, so it's a good head start." - 8:54
This professor is a LEGEND.
" i take it back, it's not intelligent after all. It does integration the same way i do " best part of this video.
Love the ending. Well said by the instructor. I would like to add: "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet." - Douglas Hofstadter
Well this explains why there seem to be so many in AI that come from mathematics. As for the program, it simply automates a process that was derived from human thought.
For those having their Math rusty like me here is why he substitute with sinx or cosx, it is simply because the function is defined in the domain [0,1[ that is because of (1-x2)^5/2=(sqrt(1-x2))^5 and anything under the sqrt should be positive so 1-x2 needs to be >=0 then 1>X2.....
So intelligence is doing something someone else does't know how to do? Fair point
19:08 pretty cool how he preempted their thoughts
Second lecture and he knows everyone's name? Damn!
So impressed. This robot professor is the best example of artificial intelligence I have ever seen! Hopefully in the next version MIT will be able to create artificial emotions as well.
