Andrew Ng on why he decided to leave his day-to-day responsibilities at Coursera for Baidu: http://blog.coursera.org/post/85921942887/a-personal-message...


Usual fluff. Only relevant part is,

With the MOOC movement healthy and growing, I now plan to dedicate more of my time toward AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning. I will be joining Baidu as their Chief Scientist to help build out a research organization, headquartered in Silicon Valley. Both education and AI have been longstanding passions for me. I believe some of my skills will allow me to make a contribution to the latter.
