Stanford CS230 | Autumn 2025 | Lecture 2: Supervised, Self-Supervised, & Weakly Supervised Learning | Stanford Online

Kian Katanforoosh leads an interactive lecture structured in multiple parts, starting with a recap of the week's online learning, including neurons, layers, and deep neural networks. He then transitions into supervised learning projects like day and night classification, trigger word detection, and face verification, emphasizing industry-specific inputs and decision-making processes. The lecture progresses into self-supervised and weekly supervised learning, focusing on embeddings and their importance in AI systems. Katanforoosh also touches on adversarial attacks and defenses, and the session includes human experiments to refine data labeling strategies, architecture search, and the design of effective loss functions, with a strong emphasis on data collection and expert advice.
