Channels worth your time

Recommendations

What I tell students to watch when they want the intuition rather than the notation.

A distribution moving on screen does more for intuition than three pages of notation, and the people below are very good at it. I send students to them regularly.

It is a short list, and everything on it is something I actually watch.

For people getting into AI

The two I point students to first. Between them they cover a lot of the intuition that textbooks assume you already have.

StatQuest

Josh Starmer

Statistics and machine learning explained slowly and without hand-waving. Excellent before an exam, and honestly after one too.

Mine

My own channels

The odd ones out on this page, since I am the one making them. One is a hobby with nothing to do with the research. The other covers exactly what I work on, in plain language and without the notation.

Demythified

François HU

Myths and legends from around the world, retold as animated short films. A hobby, with nothing to do with the research, and that is rather the point.

Curious Machine Learning

François HU

Expect a simplified overview of AI, of insurance, and of the ground where the two meet: the same subjects as the research and the teaching, without the notation. Newly started, one video so far.

If you know a channel that belongs on this list, send it to me. I am trying to keep it short rather than complete, but I am always happy to find something new.
