Awesome, thanks to the lecturer and whoever taped it!


Comment2 zsjyhh, November 24, 2010 at 9 a.m.:

Very good!!!


Comment3 ben, November 29, 2010 at 12:02 p.m.:

It is practically impossible to follow since the video is usually not of the whiteboard, but of the lecturer.


Comment4 Nathaniel, April 11, 2011 at 9:31 p.m.:

Very good lecture.

The presenter is clear, organized, and presents some interesting material that is often not found in textbooks.


Comment5 Iain Murray, December 17, 2011 at 3:06 p.m.:

Viewers of this video may want to try the practical exercise that I provided at this summer school. It's available at http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/imurray...


Comment6 Timmy, February 27, 2012 at 2:02 a.m.:

One of the best MCMC tutorials I watched..


Comment7 S, March 26, 2012 at 10:12 a.m.:

This is so great, thank you very much!


Comment8 bg284, April 5, 2012 at 11:12 p.m.:

thanks so much for this tutorial. really demystified MCMC for me, and for the short note you pasted on your website as well.


Comment9 Sandip, May 24, 2012 at 9:43 p.m.:

Is it possible to download this video?


Comment10 Sam, June 29, 2012 at 2:08 p.m.:

Extremely clear tutorial, thanks very much for putting this online Iain.


Comment11 Conor, March 15, 2013 at 8:56 a.m.:

Sandip has already asked- but can I download this video from anywhere? I'm trying to watch it in Malawi... the internet speeds are not the best! (Sandip- it is on YouTube too)


Comment12 Iain Murray, March 18, 2013 at 12:17 p.m.:

Conor: now that the videos are on YouTube, there's lots of ways to download them for personal use. For example the python script http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/ and many others. You'll want the pdf of the slides from videolectures.net to go with the video.


Comment13 Andrii Cherniak, December 27, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.:

This is definitely a much better explanation than in Nando de Freitas class. Not that i am saying that Nando does not explain - he does. But this lecture provides a more coherent path in my opinion


Comment14 Yaser, April 17, 2014 at 5:11 a.m.:

It was a really good intro lecture on MCMC inference.
I'm wondering if someone tried to explain some more advanced features on it like the forward-backward recursion in MCMC inference.
Also, I think providing an actual example of usage of this method on a Bayesian net would also made it more than perfect.


Comment15 sam, January 17, 2016 at 6:44 a.m.:

amazing. clear. explain that you want to hear instead of textbook definitions.


Comment16 Chris, January 22, 2016 at 7:59 a.m.:

I feel sad because my English listening ability is not good enough to let me understand what the lecturer is talking about,although I actually know it is a good presentation !


Comment17 Greg Bjorg, June 27, 2019 at 8:49 p.m.:

Comment32 Glasgow Driveways, October 29, 2023 at 1:43 a.m.:

I agree with this! For optimal hardening and durability, resin roads need enough curing and drying time. Achieving the best results requires strictly adhering to the manufacturer's curing time recommendations. Depending on the installation and design, resin drives and driveways have a lifespan of up to 15 years. Additionally, they are made such that the vehicle's final weight won't harm the ground. Runways and garages both employ resin roads and driveways. A driveway that is both long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing must be constructed with high-quality resin and aggregates. <a href="https://glasgowresindrivewaysltd.co.uk/resin-driveways-edinburgh/"> Best Driveways in Edinburgh</a>
