Finally over, the AI and ML Stanford classes finished last week.

The courses were a really interesting experience, and I think I learned a lot from them. Apart from the technical content, which is very useful, I learned things about myself. For instance, how long I can stick and persevere, how much motivation plays an important role in what I do, how well I can manage my time and how much I can push my limits.

And now, because I am proud of myself:

I managed to finish the advanced track in both classes and ended in the [top quartile of the final ranking](/assets/media/2011/12/ai-certificate.pdf) for the AI class! [The ML class had no ranking](/assets/media/2011/12/ml-statement.pdf).
