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'.
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".
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)
