OT: The Next Generation of Neural Networks

[CalmLogic]

This is the best talk I have seen in machine learning:

YouTube - The Next Generation of Neural Networks

This Google Talk, released last December, is by a highly-acclaimed machine learning professor, Geoffrey Hinton, who is at the University of Toronto. His citation count is over 1,000:

Geoffrey E Hinton - ACM author profile page

BTW, his most popular recent paper:

Restricted Boltzmann Machines for Collaborative Filtering (applied to Netflix Prize)

Darn, they removed the video.

That Collaborative Filtering paper is inspirational to me, particularly because it uses data (and solves a problem) that the average person can understand. That's the kind of work I hope to someday contribute.

Darn, they removed the video.

Your browswer may have a problem with YouTube since the video is still online for me.
In any event, the video is also hosted at Google Video:

The Next Generation of Neural Networks

That's weird. I can watch other YouTube videos, but that one has the message "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." And the Google Video link just redirects to YouTube and does the same thing. I'll try again later.

It could be a conspiracy

I’ve only had this problem with Internet Explorer every other browser i use works perfectly the videos are always there unless removed by youtube.

Its probably microsoft trying to mess with youtube

Well, I don't know about a conspiracy but it's working fine from Mac/Safari now. I think I was using PC/Safari earlier. Weird stuff. Thanks for the link, by the way.

BTW, related online video lectures:

Videolectures category: Machine Learning

online course videos from the University of Washington, particularly data mining and applications of artificial intelligence.
