Overview:

In conjunction with the free online video series AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng of Stanford (available here on Coursera), interested CAN members can join a discussion group on that topic on a set day within the Slack #readinggroup channel. These discussions are intended to clarify topics learned during that week’s lesson, as well as come up with applicable ways to consider these topics within your own lab or across labs and specialties.

Process:

  1. Sign up for Coursera and “enroll” in the AI for Everyone course.
  2. Join the #readinggroup channel in the Computational Audiology Network Slack.
  3. On your own time during the week listed in the first column below, watch the selected videos from the lesson in the third column. Feel free to enter your questions early into the #readinggroup channel.
  4. On the date listed for discussion (Sundays in November at 10a Central Time [Chicago, USA]), log in to the Slack #readinggroup channel, and post at least one question and respond to at least two questions. I will contribute questions and moderate the conversations if they start to stall for the 10a-11a hour, but feel free use this forum to have your discussions even outside these hours.
