Much helpful.. Thank you !

[@TaoPangPang]

Slides: web.stanford.edu/class/ee364b/lectures/admm_slides.pdf

[@baggepinnen]

It would be helpful if the slides were shown more. I had to pause every time the slides were shown for only a few seconds to get what he was talking about.

[@giannidigirolamo8868]

I'm sorry to dislike such video...but...i don't care to see boyd's face. I want to see the slides

[@shizk6773]

Yeah what kind of a MANIAC edited this video

[@UNBADRO]

Ahmad Bazzis lectures are much more clear and concise.

[@Arashyou18]

Could you please send the link of Ahmad Bazzis lecture on this topic (ADMM)?

[@vladdvorkin]

Thanks for the talk. It's quite clear and useful. It would be great if you uploaded the slides, it's not practical to perceive a slide for a couple of seconds only.

[@nzdeepak]

Thank you :)

[@adrianlamoral507]

we need updated videos of this course

[@tomhayward8478]

Can you upload the video from the camera that shows the lecturer and the slides?

[@panrel1292]

Sorry that the recording did not follow the presentation!

[@haifa6004]

good explanation. but the camera is only focus on the advisor only. bad thing

[@lukec6886]

(Probably) the slides in the talk: web.stanford.edu/~boyd/papers/pdf/springer_15_lect2.pdf

[@hajerjm]

can't see the slides -.-

[@JadtheProdigy]

i like this guy, any more vids with him?

[@marsag3118]

there are 40 videos of his lectures here on yt. look for "convex optimization"

[@houman1806]

What is the definition of "CG step" (discussed on 47:55 )?

[@qr-ec8vd]

is it conjugate gradient? not sure

[@matthewkarikomi1130]

it works if you get the slide number from the right-hand footer next to boyd's head

[@siliur24]

quite interesting, but we're not here to admire the speaker's shirt ... showing the entire room with the slides (and so the laser pointer) would have more meaning ...

[@panchajanya91]

i wish, someone had told the cameraman to focus on slides when he would explain.

[@watchmanling]

It must be a business people doing the edit.

[@stdjmax]

Great Lecture
One question.
What is the code of the "pos()" in matlab from your ADMM examples
z = pos(x_hat + u);
Basicly what the pos() does ?

[@FernandoCrema]

pos(x) = x_+ = max{0, x}

[@selmane5315]

360p, really?

[@sui-chan.wa.kyou.mo.chiisai]

Is camera sleeping?

[@broccoli322]

Great talk but the way the video is presented is simply terrible. The slides need to be shown along with the presenter.

[@ehfo]

isn't like an insualt to on
Microsoft and use a mac laptop?

[@chinmayaroutray4969]

Camare should be on the slides

[@daxu2684]

It would be great if the captains are available.

[@behzadnourani3195]

This video is almost useless. It shows Stephen Boyd for 95 percent of the time and the formulas 5 percent of the time...

[@ehfo]

where is the slides?

[@mohdfaizan-lz6xj]

Video making is not good. Only focused to speaker instead of slides.

[@Savedbygrace952]

The cameraman is very poor.

[@tomhayward8478]

This is not useful without the slides

[@kimiashayestehfard3677]

I dislike this video only because it did not show the slides!
