      The iTunes link is still pending Apple's approval... Hopefully it'll be up soon!

    Cool. Works perfectly with Pocketcasts. Art and notes too.

They recommend the book "Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective" by Kevin P. Murphy.

  I've only read a few chapters from this, but I've heard it recommended highly by others as well.

  In that case the post did get some attention, but not enough to count the repost as a dupe, so we've moved the comments over from the previous thread.

Really great idea - I'll definitely be listening.

Can someone explain to me why they call out being a "nerd"? ...we meet our hosts, Katherine Gorman (nerd, journalist) and Ryan Adam (nerd, Harvard computer science professor)... Seems a bit misplaced. Also, Yoshua gave a great, albeit slightly controversial for the crowd, talk at AGI 14 in Quebec this summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exhdfIPzj24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exhdfIPzj24

  Because non-nerds now call themselves nerds as "nerd" is associated with having domain expertise in a giving subject i.e CS. In their views what we "do" is nerdy so we are by definition nerds too.
- Houshalter 12y ago
  Good talk, but how was that controversial?
  - AndrewKemendo 12y ago
    Not conventionally so, I think some of the AGI people think his un-supervised/supervised training thoughts do not lend themselves towards AGI/Strong AI.

If you're into data science podcasts... this one has been going for a couple months and getting some attention. http://www.partiallyderivative.com/ http://www.partiallyderivative.com/

I think this is very useful for average people to understand more about how machines work. Sometimes scientist tend to talk in machine language themselves which is difficult for an average person to understand. I think this is a great avenue to get more information about industry news and whatnot.
