help Stanford CS229: Machine Learning FAQ
Who teaches Stanford CS229?
CS229 is strongly associated with Andrew Ng, who taught widely circulated Stanford machine-learning lectures. The course has also had other Stanford instructors and teaching teams over the years.
What math background does CS229 expect?
CS229 expects comfort with linear algebra, probability, statistics, and multivariable calculus. Topics such as gradients, Gaussian distributions, and matrix notation appear early in the course.
How is CS229 different from Andrew Ng's Coursera Machine Learning course?
CS229 is a graduate-level Stanford course with heavier math and problem sets. The Coursera course is designed for a broader online audience and historically used a more introductory pacing.
What algorithms does CS229 cover?
The course covers supervised learning methods such as linear regression, logistic regression, SVMs, and neural networks, plus unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning topics. It is usually treated as a broad mathematical foundation course for machine learning.
