"hire" education, ey? /scnr

edit: also, according to Wikipedia, he does not hold a PhD in CS from MIT.

"Fridman was born in Moscow, and after moving to the United States he studied at Drexel University, where he received a B.S. (Bachelor of Science), M.S. (Master of Science), and a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy)."

Thanks for pointing out. I was told by people that he has a PhD from MIT. I should have checked for my self.

So, how does he claim to lecture at the MIT on Deep Learning? Does MIT just let anyone lecture about ML?

Is his lecture any good in your opinion? I scrubbed through several and all I got is him gushing vaguely about some actual ML researchers and stumbling over his own technical slides. What am I missing that this is somehow good enough for MIT?

He worked at MIT as a researcher.
