1. How much power would we need? I'd assume a Thinkpad X230 won't do. If we need a moderately powerful system, do you provide AWS (or equivalent)? 2. I watch Siraj's videos. Although they are fun and useful, they are very short and resemble a recipe in a cookbook (no offense intended). Is the course going to be the same as videos? Or is it going to be discussing all the necessary mathematics/statistics? 3. I couldn't find detailed information about the instructors' background. Are they able answer questions from the deep learning book or Sutton&Barto, if one were to read them alongside the course? |

1. We'll provide instructions to use AWS (65 cents an hour) and are working with AWS to get students credits. We've done this in the past so there's a decent chance we get this but no guarantees yet.
2. The course is going to be Siraj's videos supplemented with additional content to go deeper into the math/statistics and to actually do problem sets and projects. So Siraj is meant to be the starting point from where we go deeper.
3. Mat Leonard will be the main instructor and did is PhD in Physics and Statistical Neuroscience at Berkeley. He's done his fair share of reading from books in the field and will be able to answer your technical questions.
