<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Just as a follow-up to my previous email. What I am going to propose is that we follow an online course week-by-week together and take turns teaching different brief lessons. The course that I am considering is the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk235484" previewremoved="true">https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/</a></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">It is a free* course that teaches machine learning while programming in Octave/MATLAB.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Alternatively, we can follow:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><a href="https://www.edx.org/course/machine-learning-fundamentals" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk484076" previewremoved="true">https://www.edx.org/course/machine-learning-fundamentals</a></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">This is another free* course that is directed at graduate students interested in machine learning.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">If you have a chance to check these out by tomorrow, great, if not I'll give a quick presentation outlining what they are about and we can chat then.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">*Free means that you can access all of the content, but you have to pay if you want your assignments graded. You also receive a certificate at the end of a paid course signifying you've completed it.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Cheers,</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">After a very long delay (apologies), I propose that we have our first official meeting tomorrow at 3:30 in the Theory Conference room to discuss the focus of the group and ideas for how to proceed in the coming weeks/months.</p>
