Machine Learning And Large Scale Data Analysis

Graduate/Undergraduate Stats/CS Course, University of Chicago, Department of Computer Science, 2019

In 2019, I TA’d for Machine Learning and Large Scale Data Analysis, taught by Yali Amit. I wrote supplementary material, available here, and conducted weekly lab sessions. Thank you to all the students who mentioned me in their anonymous reviews.

Reviews

  • “Benjamin is very knowledgeable and is good at explaining concepts. He was friendly, professional, respectful and mature. He made himself available, showed up consistently on time, and prepared helpful and easy-to-follow mini-lectures for the lab sessions. He was the TA I felt most comfortable working with and the one I learned the most from.”
  • “Benjamin killeen was the most knowledgeable TA. He answered a lot of questions very well and always came well prepared to office hours.”
  • “Ben was incredibly patient during office hours and always responsive to student questions. In addition, he often presented demos during office hours or showed easier ways to handle the homework assignments; both were very helpful.”
