Because non-nerds now call themselves nerds as "nerd" is associated with having domain expertise in a giving subject i.e CS. In their views what we "do" is nerdy so we are by definition nerds too.
Not conventionally so, I think some of the AGI people think his un-supervised/supervised training thoughts do not lend themselves towards AGI/Strong AI.

Can someone explain to me why they call out being a "nerd"?
...we meet our hosts, Katherine Gorman (nerd, journalist) and Ryan Adam (nerd, Harvard computer science professor)...
Seems a bit misplaced.
Also, Yoshua gave a great, albeit slightly controversial for the crowd, talk at AGI 14 in Quebec this summer.

Good talk, but how was that controversial?

Sounds interesting. Couldn't find an RSS feed on your site. Where can I subscribe?
If you're into data science podcasts... this one has been going for a couple months and getting some attention. http://www.partiallyderivative.com/
Is there an rss feed to subscribe to or is it only for iTunes?
The rss feed is http://www.thetalkingmachines.com/blog?format=RSS
Cool. Works perfectly with Pocketcasts. Art and notes too.

this url works with feedly
Could you see the iTunes podcast link? I couldn't fine one.
The iTunes link is still pending Apple's approval... Hopefully it'll be up soon!
They recommend the book "Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective" by Kevin P. Murphy.
I've only read a few chapters from this, but I've heard it recommended highly by others as well.
Really great idea - I'll definitely be listening.

In that case the post did get some attention, but not enough to count the repost as a dupe, so we've moved the comments over from the previous thread.
Sorry I didn't see that one. Thanks for posting!
