Big scandal on popular YouTuber ML course

Siraj Raval, who raised his audience on devliering various YouTube videos, explaning #ML and #DL concepts as long with interviews with leading persons, launched his own course, but failed to provide much value.

His course was built on open and free tutorials, created by passionate enthusiasts, but he failed to attribute them properly and charged money for ununique content without any proper support for students.

He also oversold his course and tried to hide that from students, claiming to provide personal feedbacks, but failing to do so due to being too greedy.


Most of the best online courses and study programms are available online and for free, including those, we gathered here on our channel and attributed with hastags #wheretostart #entrylevel #MOOC #tutorial. Feel free to click these hashtags and browse for best available resources to start learning data science.

GPT-2 hadn’t (yet) fooled jury at The Economist’s Open Future Essay Contest

Though one of the judges suggested that «It is strongly worded and backs up claims with evidence, but the idea is not incredibly original.»

27,600 V100 GPUs, 0.5 PB data, and a neural net with 220,000,000 weights

If you wonder, it all was used to address scientific inverse problem in materials imaging.

Large-Scale Multilingual Speech Recognition with a Streaming End-to-End Model

High-quality #speechrecognition systems require large amounts of data—yet many languages have little data available. Check out new research into an end-to-end system trained as a single model allowing for real-time multilingual speech recognition.

🔥🔥🔥Tomorrow we will hold an AMA session with Alexey Moiseenkov — ex-founder of #Prisma app (2016), which made neural networks popular and commodity nowadays. Now he works on #Capture app, bringing power of visual search in attempt to revolutionize messagers as we know them.

Please send questions through Google form. Make sure you provide your telegram nickname for clearing up question details.

Best to ask questions regarding his area of expertise (please do you homework and read existing interview):

1. Managing DS research
2. Product management in DS: how to control engeineers, how to manage team
3. How to build viral products
4. Fundrasing for messenger / DS products
5. Recruitment questions, building HR brand
6. How to find idea for a startup

AMA today at 15:00 GMT (in 4 hours). In a couple of hours we will publish link to private chat for AMA session.

Stay tuned, prepare your questions. Please do not ask trivial and gramatically incorrect questions like 'where to start data science'.
First of all, use search, we have nice collections of resources for starting a DS career, tagged with #wheretostart #entrylevel #novice. Secondly, pay respect to our guest and ask questions more relevant to his area of experise.
