I don't get the reference, would you mind explaining? On a related note, I've always been baffled by Coursera founder & ML fame Andrew Ng's name. How am I supposed to pronounced it?


"Ng" is pronounced somewhat like the "ung" in "sung" but with the vowel shortened.

Push your tongue against the top of your mouth and say 'ung', it's usually close enough (also holds for the common vietnamese name of Nguyen)

Specifically, it's the velar nasal phonome:
