This course saves my life! The lecturer of the ML course I'm attending rn is just going thru those crazy math derivations preassuming that all the students have mastered it all before😂
We learn, and teachers give us the information in a way that can help stimulate our learning abilities. So, we always appreciate our teachers and the facilities contributing to our development. Thank you.
We define a cost function based on sum of squared errors. The job is minimise this cost function with respect to the parameters. First, we look at (Batch) gradient descent. Second, we look at Stochastic gradient descent, which does not give us the exact value at which the minima is achieved, however, it is much much more effective in dealing with big data. Third, we look at the normal equation. This equation directly gives us the value at which minima is achieved! Linear regression models is one of the few models in which such an equation exist.
@@rajvaghasia9942 the name "normal equation" is because generalizes the concept of perpendiculum (normal to something means perpendicula to something). In fact "the normal equation" represent the projection between the straight line that i draw as a starting point (in the case of LINEAR regression) and the effective sampling data .This projection has , obviously , information about the distances between the real data (sampling data) and my "starting line"...hence to find the optimal curve that fit my data i 've to find weight a bias (in this video Theta0 , Theta1 and so on) to minimize this distance. you can minimize this distance using gradient descend (too much the cost), stochastic gradient descend (doing a set of partial derivative not computing all the gradient of loss function) or using the "normal equations"...uderstand?... Here an image from wikipedia to understand better (the green line are the famous distances) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linear_least_squares_example2.svg
@@rajvaghasia9942 because we're in the matrix now bro! ha. For real though. It's about the projection matrix and the matrix representation/method of acquiring the beta coefficients.
I have been wondering why we need such an algorithm when we could just derive the least squares estimators. Have you seen any research comparing the gradient descent method of selection of parameters with the typical method of deriving the least squares estimators of the coefficient parameters?

@@stanfordonline Please post this in the description to every video. Having this in an obscure reply to a comment will only lead to people missing it while scrolling.
1:17:31 Can't we just get rid of the x transverse on both left sides of the equation. As I remember from linear algebra if you have the same matrix on two sides of the equation from the same side that is redundant and can be removed. The result should be x(theta) =y => (theta) = x^(-1) y
Formula looks like variance formulae , will be interested to know why we have that 1/2 of the variances of the lost of function. Could we just used the variance formula instead or is there a theory behind that. Thanks
has someone(possibly newbie like me) gone through all the videos and learnt enough to pursue an ML career or created a project? Wondering if a paid class should be taken or these free videos are enough.
at 40:10, how about if we set the initial value at a point that the gradient is a negative direction, then we should increase theta rather than decrease theta?
even then we should decrease theta. Why? Reason: see the aim is to find a minima right? So if u start with a negative slope (aka gradient), u need to adjust the values of the parameters (theta) such that the slope approaches zero! (why? since the slope is zero at the minima). and if u see the graph of a quadratic equation, u will immediately understand the logic. it does not matter if u start with a pistive or negative slope. U just need to change theta so that finally ur gradient approaches zero. And for both of these cases we need to decrease the value of theta.
Seems like the lagrangian or path of least action theory in physics can be applied to algorythmic manipulations in machine learning as well as economics where isoquant curves and marginal analysis depend on many variables...not being an expert in any field the topics seem very similar and some corelation may exist...perhaps already being used.
In the very last equatin (Normal equation 1:18:06) Transpose(X) appears on both sides of the equation, can't this be simplified by dropping transpose(T)?
Fred has a one hundred sided die. Fred rolls the dice, once and gets side i. Fred then rolls the dice, again, second roll, and gets side j where side j is not side i. What is the probability of this event e? Assume the one hundred sides of the one hundred sided die all have an equal probability of facing up.
Wouldn't it be 99/100? The first roll can be any number so it doesn't really matter what's there. The second roll just needs to be one of the other 99 numbers. The first roll doesn't really change the probability. Of course, I barely know any math so I'm no expert lol
@@billr5842 you're right, the probability calculated above as 1/10000 is the probability of getting the same result for a "specific side", like getting "side 3" twice. But there are 100 different sides that has the 1/10000 probability to occur twice, so the probability 1/10000 is multiplied by the different side number 100 which makes the probability of getting the same result for two rolls equal to 1/100. Then 1 - 1/100 = 99/100
Would anyone please share the lecture notes? On clicking on the link for the pdf notes on the course website, its showing an error that the requested URL was not found on the server. It would really be great if someone could help me with finding the class notes.
Ask ur undergrads this question on final exam: 100 side dice. First roll side i. Second to twentieth roll not i. Twentyfirst roll number i. Call this event E. What is the probability of E occuring? Assume 100 side die is the uniform distribution of numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 100.
This is ambiguous, if you specify an "i" beforehand, you are looking at: P(i on 1st roll) * P(not i on 19 rolls) * P(i on 21st roll) 0.01 * 0.99^19 * 0.01 = 0.00008261686238 if the i is specified on the first roll: P(not i on 19 rolls) * P(i on 21st roll) 0.99^19 * 0.01 = 0.008261686238

Thanx Bro for this!!
my machine learning lecturer is so dogshit I thought this unit was impossible to understand. Now following these on study break before midsem and this guy is the best. I'd prefer that my uni just refers to these lectures rather than making their own

I love you Sir Andrew, you inspire me a lot haha
is there a way of getting a hand on the assignment descriptions that were done in this course to practice?
why minimize square of difference instead of difference itself (diff between predicted and actual)? these are the points some one like Andrew should highlight
Had to study basic Calculus and Linear algebra at the same time to understand a bit, but don't get it fully yet,
Fantastic. Thank you deeply for sharing
Loving the lectures!!
Great lecture. I have one small doubt. Why is the last term X_transpose.Y and not y_transpose.X right at the 1:15:52 where the equation is set to zero
this men is great teatcher
if board is full, slide up the board, if it refuses to go up, pull it back down, erase and continue writing on it.
The partial derivative was incomplete to me. we should take the derivative 2/2 thetha as well? is that term a constant?
shouldn't we go with the product rule!
Very clear explanations. Extra points for sounding like Stewie Griffin
Andrew Ng, FTW!
Is the lecture note available publicly for this? I have been going watching this playlist and I think the lecture note will be very helpful.

Can you update the lecture notes and assignments in the website for the course? Most of the links to the documents are broken
Hi there, thanks for your comment and feedback. The course website may be helpful to you cs229.stanford.edu/ and the notes document docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ua10iRYLtxTWi05jBSAxEMM_104nTr8S4nC2cmN9BQ/edit?usp=sharing

Can't we just get rid of the x transverse on both left sides of the equation. As I remember from linear algebra if you have the same matrix on two sides of the equation from the same side that is redundant and can be removed.
The result should be x(theta) =y => (theta) = x^(-1) y
Where can I find the notes and other videos and any material related to this class!?
Which book is he using? and where do we find the homework?
cant download the course class note pls look onto ot
does anyone knows how do i get the resources?
it's hard, but everything thats worth doing is
Why do we take the transpose of each row, wouldn't it be stacking columns on top of each other?
Any suggestions where can i learn how to deal with matrix and derivative of them
The best ever ❤❤❤
Knowledge is power
Does someone know how to get the lecture notes?
They are not available on stanford's website.
Same issue for me alsoo....
Formula looks like variance formulae , will be interested to know why we have that 1/2 of the variances of the lost of function. Could we just used the variance formula instead or is there a theory behind that. Thanks
Do online videos cover discussion section
has someone(possibly newbie like me) gone through all the videos and learnt enough to pursue an ML career or created a project? Wondering if a paid class should be taken or these free videos are enough.
i also want to know have you gone through all the videos
Andrew讲得太好了
1:01:06 Didn't know Darth Vader attended this lectures
I asked ChatGPT how to learn machine learning. #1 Coursera:
Course: "Machine Learning" by Andrew Ng (Stanford University)
at 40:10, how about if we set the initial value at a point that the gradient is a negative direction, then we should increase theta rather than decrease theta?
even then we should decrease theta. Why? Reason: see the aim is to find a minima right? So if u start with a negative slope (aka gradient), u need to adjust the values of the parameters (theta) such that the slope approaches zero! (why? since the slope is zero at the minima). and if u see the graph of a quadratic equation, u will immediately understand the logic. it does not matter if u start with a pistive or negative slope. U just need to change theta so that finally ur gradient approaches zero. And for both of these cases we need to decrease the value of theta.
i wish i had access to the problem sets for this course
May be on github...
Simple and understandable
Where can I get the lecture notes? I can't access the files in the website.
The notes from the description seem to have vanished. Does anyone have them?
same problem
Seems like the lagrangian or path of least action theory in physics can be applied to algorythmic manipulations in machine learning as well as economics where isoquant curves and marginal analysis depend on many variables...not being an expert in any field the topics seem very similar and some corelation may exist...perhaps already being used.
Do you speak english?
why even go to uni, wtf this is so much better than my lectures and it's free and it's recorded lmao wtf unis be doing they are dying fr
I need that lecture notes ASAP professor
Wondering if lecture notes are also available to download from somewhere ?
hey bro I found them: cs229.stanford.edu/lectures-spring2022/main_notes.pdf
@@williambrace6885thanks a lot!
okay so the superscript i, ( 1 to m) represents the number of features, right? Because here m = 2 and I don't understand why m = # training examples
why in cost function he did 1/2 and not 1/2*m ?
Can we have the lecture notes?
Did you find it ?
Where do i get the assignments for these lecture series?
is the explanation at 40:00 correct?
When will practice lectures start ?
Can I get notes for these lectures?
In the very last equatin (Normal equation 1:18:06) Transpose(X) appears on both sides of the equation, can't this be simplified by dropping transpose(T)?
no because , x is neccesarily not a square a matrix
1:10:10 I think that the matrix multiplication here doesn't follow the rules.
Fred has a one hundred sided die. Fred rolls the dice,
once and gets side i. Fred then rolls the dice, again,
second roll, and gets side j where side j is not side i.
What is the probability of this event e? Assume the
one hundred sides of the one hundred sided die all have
an equal probability of facing up.
1 - (1/10000) = 9999/10000
the probability of getting the same results for two rolls and they are both defined is 1/10000. So that we will subtract that from 1
Wouldn't it be 99/100? The first roll can be any number so it doesn't really matter what's there. The second roll just needs to be one of the other 99 numbers. The first roll doesn't really change the probability. Of course, I barely know any math so I'm no expert lol
@@billr5842 you're right, the probability calculated above as 1/10000 is the probability of getting the same result for a "specific side", like getting "side 3" twice. But there are 100 different sides that has the 1/10000 probability to occur twice, so the probability 1/10000 is multiplied by the different side number 100 which makes the probability of getting the same result for two rolls equal to 1/100. Then 1 - 1/100 = 99/100
guys what is the website the professor mentions around 27:18
Would anyone please share the lecture notes? On clicking on the link for the pdf notes on the course website, its showing an error that the requested URL was not found on the server. It would really be great if someone could help me with finding the class notes.

Very impressive. Somebody knows where are the lecture notes?
There is a link in the video description, make sure you click where it says "...more"
Hi. Can anyone recommend any textbook that can help in further study of this course.
Thank you
anyone knows where to access the homework assignments as practice?
Ask ur undergrads this question on final exam:
100 side dice. First roll side i. Second to twentieth roll not i. Twentyfirst roll number i. Call this event E. What is the probability of E occuring? Assume 100 side die is the uniform distribution of numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 100.
can you elaborate the question
This is ambiguous, if you specify an "i" beforehand, you are looking at:
P(i on 1st roll) * P(not i on 19 rolls) * P(i on 21st roll)
0.01 * 0.99^19 * 0.01 = 0.00008261686238
if the i is specified on the first roll:
P(not i on 19 rolls) * P(i on 21st roll)
0.99^19 * 0.01 = 0.008261686238
Where can we find the lecture notes for this course?
Does anyone know which textbook goes well with these lectures?
where can i get the full detail notes?? Anyone who knows this ,reply please.
Could you please tell me the actual use of Gradient Descent by minimizing the y(theta)?
Gradient Descent is basically the optimization model that help minimizing the cost of Model. We obtain the cost by calculating the MSE (Mean Squared Error)
is there thanks sitting in the class??
The pdf link to the problem set says Error Not found. Can someone help Please ?
Took me quite some time to realize this class was not being taught to darth vader
How to study applications ? This I only upto theory is it??
Are these youtube lectures same as those 3 modules uploaded on coursera website?
Not really. I think this one dives deeper into the topic, while Coursera one is easy beginner-friendly introduction.
For example Support Vector Machine Topic is not discussed on coursera.
How can I implement this?? any references??
