[Chicago] Machine learning, all the cool kids are doing it.

[Valentina Kibuyaga]

Good Morning All:

Valentina Kibuyaga and I am also taking the course.  I would love to be involved in a group study!

Jason, thanks for offering.  I can meet anywhere downtown, and weekends work best for me.  

thank you!

The Coursera Machine Learning class taught by Andrew Ng at Stanford (https://www.coursera.org/course/ml) just started (4/22) and I'm interested if anyone wants to work through it with me. I've taken this course before but only got about half way through it before getting busy and "dropping out."






MOOCs are great, but they lack the community needed to have a successful learning experience. More importantly, learning happens by doing--not by watching videos--whether it's teaching someone else the material, working through problems with a partner, or adapting the problems to be relevant for your projects & internests.  






One of the downsides about the course is that it uses Octave, not Python. Despite that we could easily code the problems in Octave, then port them to Python & Numpy or use equivalent functions in Scikts.learn. 






So this time around I'm hoping to find someone interested in going through it together, particularly with a Python focus. Any takers?
