Errata Week 1

Introduction
Supervised Learning: 1:25: Describing the curve as quadratic is confusing since the independent
variable is price, but the plot's X-axis represents area.

Unsupervised Learning: 5:01: 'surprisingly interesting useful theories of how galaxies are formed'.

Unsupervised Learning: 6:56 - the mouse does not point to the correct audio sample being played on
the slide. Each subsequent audio sample has the mouse pointing to the previous sample.

Unsupervised Learning: 12:50 - the slide shows rst option "Given email labelled as span/not spam,
learn a spam lter" as one of the answers as well. Whereas, in the audio Professor puts it in
Supervised Learning category.

Cost Function
In the transcript, at 0:26: 'the parameters of the maldo' should be changed to 'the parameters of the
model'.

In the transcript, at 2:24: 'the parana state of zero and' should be changed to 'the parameters theta
zero and'.

In the transcript, at 2:50: 'the value we predict on equals x' should be changed to 'the value we
predict on input x'.

In the transcript, at 3:10: 'values for the perimeters so that' should be changed to 'values for the
parameters so that'.

In the transcript, at 3:21: 'so then regression' should be changed to 'so linear regression'.

In the transcript, at 7:09 and 7:18: 'cause function' should be changed to 'cost function'.

In the transcript, at 7:11: 'squares of the areas' should be changed to 'squares of the errors'.

Linear Regression With One Variable


A general note about the graphs that Prof Ng sketches when discussing the cost function. The
vertical axis can be labeled either 'y' or 'h(x)' interchangeably. 'y' is the true value of the training
example, and is indicated with a marker. 'h(x)' is the hypothesis, and is typically drawn as a curve. The
scale of the vertical axis is the same, so both can be plotted on the same axis.

In the video "Cost Function - Intuition I", at about 6:34, the value given for J(0.5) is incorrect.

Parameter Learning: Video "Gradient Descent for Linear Regression": At 6:15, the equation Prof Ng
writes in blue "h(x) = -900 - 0.1x" is incorrect, it should use "+900".

Gradient Descent for Linear Regression


Gradient Descent for Linear Regression
At Timestamp 3:27 of this video lecture, the equation for θ1 is wrong, please refer to rst line of Page
6 of ex1.pdf (Week 2 programming Assignment) for model equation (The last x is X superscript i,
subscript j (Which is 1 in this case, as it is of θ1)). θ0 is correct as it will be multiplied by 1
anyways(value of X superscript i, subscript 0 is 1), as per the model equation.

Linear Algebra Review


Matrix-Matrix Multiplication: 7:14 to 7:33 - While exploring a matrix multiplication, Andrew solved the
problem correctly below, but when he tried to rewrite the answer in the original problem, one of the
numbers was written incorrectly. The correct result was (matrix 9 15) and (matrix 7 12), but when it
was rewritten above it was written as (matrix 9 15) and (matrix 4 12). The 4 should have been a 7.
(Thanks to John Kemp and others). This has been partially corrected in the video - third subresult
matrix shows 7 but the sound is still 4 for both subresult and result matrices. Subtitle at 6:48 should
be “two is seven and two”, and subtitle at 7:14 should be “seven twelve and you”.

3.4: Matrix-Matrix Multiplication: 8:12 - Andrew says that the matrix on the bottom left shows the
housing prices, but those are the house sizes as written above

3.6: Transpose and Inverse: 9:23 - While demonstrating a transpose, an example was used to identify
B(subscript 12) and A(subscript 21). The correct number 3 was circled in both cases above, but when
it was written below, it was written as a 2. The 2 should have been a 3. (Thanks to John Kemp and
others)

Addition and scalar multiplication video


Spanish subtitles for this video are wrong. Seems that those subtitles are from another video.
