I think the problem I have with these courses are that there are already wonderful courses that do their jobs perfectly well. These mashup/greatest hits courses ( perception, nlp and deep RL ) are those where you don't really take much out of the course cause everything is dumbed down.

Well.. What bothers me the most is that the materials taught in this "course" seems to be very basic and introductory, to some point, I feel that there might be no need for having such "course" in such "formal" format at MIT. For many topics and techniques, they were just mentioned on the very surface level.

Incredible, the best ever intro and super content, thanks to Lex and MIT!

A tour de force in the selection, organization, and presentation of an overview of Deep Learning. I really enjoyed it

Excellent introduction into Deep Learning! Thank you so very much Prof. Fridman.

By Wenderson Jnio on 10/5/2019

Since 2017, Lex have improved his lessons spectacularly ! Now (2019), I watch a more fluid video with a feeling that this guy know exactly what his talking without hesitating

By Amit Agarwal on 2/15/2019

Thanks for providing some of the clearest and most straight forward introductions to these ML topics.

By Yang Peng on 8/20/2018

Great lectures. Very simple, good graphics.

By Dennis Huang on 9/3/2018

One of the best lectures on application oriented deep learning! Top notch mind and speaker!

By Raymond on 9/16/2018

The way Lex speaks is very powerful. Always to the point and every sentence have a meaning and purpose with a clear voice.

By csankar69 on 8/12/2017

Very poor and hand wavy explanation on some of the key concepts. Not at all clear what the deep Q learning loss function is and why it is chosen that way and how it is evaluated.

By NightLurk on 9/3/2017

Am I the only one that finds the explanations to be quite cumbersome and not easily digestible!? I'm having a hard time following some things, gotta pause, go back, rewatch segments, speculate on a lot of things and extrapolate on speculations then rewatch hoping to match speculations on stated facts to confirm my understanding is correct. I'm not an expert in teaching nor am I a genius but when the lesson leaves so many loose ends and raises more question than it answers, it might not be properly optimized for teaching.
