Data & AIAndrew Ng: the professor who put machine learning online for everyone
Andrew Ng · Co-founder of Coursera and founding lead of Google BrainFor years, machine learning was taught to a few hundred students at a time in top universities. Then, in 2011, Stanford professor Andrew Ng put his class online for free and more than 100,000 people signed up. That experiment grew into Coursera, and Ng went on to lead AI work at Google and Baidu. His story shows how patient, step-by-step teaching can open a hard subject to the whole world.Read story →
Data & AIGeoffrey Hinton: the scientist who kept faith in neural networks
Geoffrey Hinton · Computer scientist and pioneer of deep learningFor much of his career, Geoffrey Hinton worked on an idea that most of the field had given up on: that computers could learn the way networks of brain cells do. He kept going through the decades when neural networks were unfashionable, and with his students he helped spark the deep learning boom behind today's image recognition and chatbots. His story is about patience, curiosity and the value of building on solid foundations.Read story →

Data & AIP. C. Mahalanobis: the physicist who taught India to count itself
P. C. Mahalanobis · Statistician, founder of the Indian Statistical InstitutePrasanta Chandra Mahalanobis trained as a physicist at Cambridge, found statistics almost by accident in a college library, and went on to found the Indian Statistical Institute in a single room in Calcutta. His sample surveys showed that a country could learn reliable facts about itself without counting every person, and his work fed directly into India's planning after independence.Read story →
Data & AIRaj Reddy: the boy from Katoor who taught computers to listen
Raj Reddy · AI and speech recognition pioneer, 1994 Turing Award laureateWhen you speak to your phone and it types your words, you are using ideas that Raj Reddy and his students worked out decades ago. Born in a village in Andhra Pradesh, he studied civil engineering in Madras, met his first computer in Australia, and turned a Stanford class project into a lifetime of work on speech recognition. In 1994 he shared the Turing Award, often called the Nobel Prize of computing. His story shows how one curious question can grow into a whole field.Read story →
