Videos for rainy days

If, like me, you are on vacation, you might have time to watch some of these cool videos on a rainy day (unless you read books instead, as you probably should):

Video from the Europe-wide machine learning meetup on June 15. Andrew Ng’s talk is probably the highlight, but I also enjoyed Muthu Muthukrishnan’s “On Sketching” and Sam Bessalah’s “Abstract algebra for stream learning.”

Video (+ slides) from the Deep Learning meetup in Stockholm on June 9 I saw these live and they were quite good. After some preliminaries, the first presentation (by Pawel Herman) starts at around 00:06:00 in the video and the second presentation (by Josephine Sullivan) starts at around 1:18:30.

Videos from the Big Data in Biomedicine event at Stanford. Obviously I haven’t seen all of these, but the ones I have seen have been of really high quality. I particularly enjoyed the talk by Google’s David Glazer on the search behemoth’s efforts in genomics and Sandrine Dudoit on the role of statisticians in data science (where she echoes to some extent Terry Speed’s pessimistic views), but I think all of the talks are worth watching.
