Andrew Trask - Really Quick Questions with an AI Researcher 

This is the best person I ever saw in this question series.

I like his answer to what music genre you're into: "Movie soundtracks. Because, they make me feel like whatever I'm doing is epic!"

Recommended books would be a cool question to ask :)

I have a lot of admiration for this person. He comes across as very thoughtful and measured. Great questions as well. Good job.

My favorite kind of videos on RU-vid! Thanks Siraj :) keep up the good work!

Totally agree on the part on PhD; how with the internet its easier than ever to self study and that education is now a bubble waiting for a correction.

I like how he randomly decides to answer a really long answer once in a while.

Siraj, you gift us with the most amazing insights & we get to enjoy peeking into amazing minds... Thank you. That is bad ass AF. Keep on rocking your Purpose. You are a catalyst for the Change you want to see in the world. You Inspire. Again, thank you!

Another really excellent interview! Thanks, Siraj.

Some interesting answers and that's what learning and improving are all about isn't it, being open to different answers. I like it, thanks for the video Siraj!

These interviews are really interesting, and I always look forward to them - especially you interviewing Andrew Ng, Yan Le Cunn or Demis Hassabis. I did something similar recently after being inspired by you. :-)

Wow. This is so interesting! Thank you Siraj for all the effort and content you put on your videos. And thanks to Andrew for his insights. I'm definitely gonna take a look at you Udacity nanodegree! I was wandering if you know any good places where you can do research on AI (not only in the US). Is Oxford one of the best universities in this field? I'm looking for something "intense" (as Andrew said) to do next year, after I graduate.

Thanks for uploading this video!

Another great one!!! Thank you so much for all the amazing material you put together. I know you work hard to create them, but you also have a real gift for being informative AND entertaining (and obviously cool; but you know that goes without saying). I have a quick question on info that I hope may be useful to others. As someone who has programmed since the mid-80's, and done some AI with Scheme, LISP and Prolog in the early days, I am looking for efficient and informative AI/ML/DL materials like yours. I have found some phenomenal ones like Deep Learning TV (YT), Lynda's recent ones and others, but I have also found some really bad, time-wasting ones like the free Udacity's Google Deep Learning one and various others that abound. I am so thankful for your great work, some of the amazing recently released books on these subjects, and the high level of interest and support among members of the community. My groups work on a range of media, data and AI projects, as part of AI research and Media Lab centers I founded, where people much more skilled than I work and play; but we get quite a range of specialties and subs, from music theory and writers to data science and sw developers. Since we often converge around AI brainstorming and execution ideas, I'm looking for the best informational and training options-- or at least help to avoid some of the really poorly executed ones, since everyone's time is so precious, and this can be so much fun, given the right kind of support. Although I know what is "best" depends on a range of subjective and specific focus/ application related factors; but, any recommendations you could provide would be very appreciated-- you have such a great knowledge base and perspective on so many important things (like humor). In terms of AI libraries, frameworks and such, we are primarily focused on Tensorflow, PyTorch, and enabling components/extensions, using Python and C++; and materials like yours that combine theory with practical and applied are tremendously useful across a wide range of applications. Anyway, thanks again for the mad skills!

When you see guys like Siraj or Andrew you feel great and more appetizer to learn more .

He's like an expert in answering google questions. ^_^

Keep up the awesome work, interviews and tutorials a like!

I am supposed to be going to a DeepMind tour next week. Thanks for the video

My oh my! Andrew Trask in the house?!? This is a serious bonanza! Am having a blast!

Awesome video! I was really looking forward to you interviewing an AI researcher instead of an engineer

C++ in second grade???

My off the cuff definition of consciousness is: using sensory information to make models of the world around yourself that can be used to make useful predictions and including yourself in the models.

Thanks for this! Continue these awesome interviews :D

Good questions and answers were on point. Nice!

Surprisingly interesting. I also liked the links on his work.

What was the learning resource he mumbled at 16:07 ?

Ive read the manning book. Daaaammmn so this is the author. Nice!!!!

For me the take home point was, A.I. is another form of power capital, where at the moment it is money. If we don't decentralize then that power will once again belong in the hands of the few.

One Question I really want to ask an expert in machine learning. If I want to work in machine learning for industries, is it really worth getting a PHD in CS or I should just start working after my master degree in computer science?

You can study for years and never gain the wisdom and overall depth of knowledge this man has, he's intelligent beyond a textbook.

Great video, Andrew is awesome!

NIce to hear about self-taught learning and about disruptive online education.

thank you for deepmind interview

Siraj I would like to know these type of QA from Yourself

I like these videos. How did you decide on the list of questions?

i like that your videos are compact

Hi Siraj The video on building image classifier using tensorflow was very helpful. Please make a video on object detection using tensorflow object detection API.

you deserve way more subs buddy!!

In the very last question, did he say he recommended the Udacity Nanodegree in ML? I couldn't quite hear what he said there.

Honestly, this guy is amazing. Obviously brilliant, yet humble and eager to make the world a better place. Best response to the meaning of life: 'Love g0d and love people'

I freaking love your videos... this type of interview format I have never seen before and its awesome Can you please do a draw my life or suggest if you already have one I am 17 (India)and want to complete your courses but its my final year of school so my conscience is telling me not to focus on anything else (still I am watching your videos so...)

Seems like a cool guy. I like the diverse personalities you've covered Siraj.

Awesome questionnaire.. Looking forward to meet u in india in pydata event

Siraj do you think that AI could be used to help extend lifespan and keep us all healthier for a longer period of time?

10:45 - What is consciousness? *searching very deep into the mind* *can't find the answer* - I don't know I identify so much with him

#Respect to Andrew Trask.

But can you work as a scientist in AI field without PhD? I don't see any research vacancy in DeepMind that doesn't require PhD.

well done again Siraj!

At 16:11 what "degree" Andrew mentions?

Please make a video about the implementation of rnn and cnn without frameworks. using python and numby or just python

Made me happy when he answered 'lua'

I really love this type of videos, it lets us to see the person behind of scientits/engineer. One else god question it would be, i think The visión of AI: Zuckerberg or Musk? And, Siraj, Which library for artificial vision (specifically facial recognition) recommend me? OpenCV? Btw, Viva Ubuntu!

16:23 when youre done with an interview and realize youre 3 miles away from where you needed to be

The what degree? Toward the end didn't catch that thanks

This man is so interesting. I'd love to just pick at his brain all day.

Hey Siraj please make a video on your journey from childhood to ...............present

How did I know he was going to say prestige And Interstellar.. those are my two favorite movies lmao

Hey Siraj, do you have a Really Quick Questions with Siraj Raval? If not, I think your fans (me included) would appreciate if you did one. Cheers!

hit me up with more like these, you know it siraj!!

Good stuff.

Why is the sound in these "Quick Questins" always so weird?

Siraj, why don't you ask these people you interview whether Machine Learning "RESEARCH" can be done without being a part of academia (or industry giants) or without having PhD?

Cool guy. Really liked his take on religion and science.

I think the lack of the ability of online education to motivate people to learn and to give them a broad education (not just the very skills you need everyday at you current job) is highly underestimated.

A good collection of questions, brilliantly done!! 16 minutes and a lot to learn. Loved the response to the question on religion!

What is he saying at 14:43??

Good man

I know Trask ain't reading this. But I am tooo into movie soundtracks. Like that's the only thing i listen to mostly always. :-D ..... Also i knew the answer to which website he wasted his time on :-p .... twitter cz he is really active there. Awesome guy none the less :-) ..... really awesome.

Too many questions... hahahaha... but was very cool.. thanks for sharing

His book grokking deep learning is very good. I would recommend the book if you want to make deep learning intuitive. Check out his blog, it's awesome.

What degree did he say he thinks it's very strong?

He articulated really well why religion and science aren't, or don't have to be enemies :) Nice one.

Smart Dude!

Hello Siraj, I am a *Python programmer* 15 years old kid from India and want a advice from you. Well I wanna be a Python programmer in future and I don't know where to start? What subjects should I choose in Class 11th or What steps should I follow to become a Data scientist or a AI researcher. *Please help* and *Great video again!*

As a USA student, he must have to pay high fees, right?

At 7:00, Andrew mentions he admires the "former Firefox CEO" because of going forward with his beliefs... Is he referring to former Mozilla CEO, Brendan Eich?

forward head posture

Siraj, I am from India studying in a local engineering college. I am trying to learn ml and deep learning and stumbled upon one of your videos. Your videos are awesome but I find it a bit tough or very fast. Can you make some detailed videos for beginners like me?

Guy at 2:30 playing ping pong looks exactly like you Siraj!

I think you should change the title to give a little intro about this guy.

We've got a potential ML Revolutionary in the making here, lol

13:55 yes!

What open source in the ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qJ1rdVEcl5g.htmlm48s ?

What an absolute legend!

lol shouts to Tanmay Bakshi!

Can you fall in love with 67 questions?

"Upending the power structure of AI datasets" seems like a worthwhile problem. Linguistic data is too expensive to acquire.

After a question on religion, what text editor do you use? 😂😂

This is so awesome I really want to get into the world of Ai and machine learning as well as cyber security. I have played a little with OpenAi gym to build a self taught game bot 😂😂🌏🌏

TIL DeepMind Researcher knows as much about ML & AI as I do

Dudeeee, do one of yourself!!! i needa know!

never-ever replace original audio with post-interview studio recording. It makes audience confused and was bit frustrating to me at the very beginning If the quality of your voice was trash, add subtitles. And if you replaced it cause you didn't like your voice: next time just leave it - trust me, nobody cares

Those people in the background really need to deeplearn how to play ping-pong.

5:09 to 5:45 I had to listen to that twice.

Me too I don't know what is consciousness, I mean It even is very controversial for so many people

+1 for the Prestige

Wow he got 99% correct on this pop quiz!!!

What is the meaning of working on data instead of algorithms???

So u just gave the camera to someone else and started playing table tennis ? :))

The ping pong noises are really distracting.
