Self Pace Education

I have added three new links to my website – Stanford University on You Tube, MIT Open Courseware, and Video Lectures.  I found a number of self pace courses at Stanford University and MIT Open Courseware.  At Video Lectures, I found plenty of tutorials and conference workshops from many conferences from the last two years.  Enjoy exploring and expanding your horizons.

Wumpus World

I have been getting many searches for the Wumpus World code.  The LISP version is located at the AIMA website.

For the java version, goto the AIMA Java Code web page.

There are prolog versions of the Wumpus World as well.

Stanford CS229 Class

Finally I finished the Machine Learning Video Lecture Series for CS229 taught by Dr. Andrew Ng, Assist Professor at Stanford University, on YouTube.  The course was excellent – it is broken into four sections :

• Supervised Learning,
• Learning Theory,
• Unsupervised Learning, and
• Reinforcement Learning.

The course materials on the website are excellent supplemental materials.  The problem sets does require the use of MATLAB (or the public domain version).  The course materials include sample practice midterm test.  The only weak spot is the Lecture Notes for Reinforcement Learning are brief and did not cover all material in the Lectures.   In addition, the references for additional provided by Dr. Ng are good since you can research additional information on a specific topic.  The material in this course is fairly current.  I recommend this course to anyone seriously interested in machine learning.
