LarstiQmatti: no, it is what I do for a living00:01
mattiOh.00:02
mattiHehe.00:02
mattiSo you are an expert then.00:02
*** ambv has quit IRC00:06
LarstiQuh oh ;)00:10
matti;]00:12
mattiRight.00:12
mattiI am building simple Naive Bayes Classifier. A bit of Levenshtein distance here and there.00:13
mattiI am looking at using B-spaces (Banach Spaces) at the moment,00:13
mattiHmm...00:13
mattiExciting this is.00:13
mattiThis data mining.00:13
* LarstiQ nods00:14
mattiOh come on.00:15
mattiIts fun!00:15
LarstiQit is!00:15
mattiTell me. What do you do usually?00:17
LarstiQmatti: algorithm wise?00:18
mattiYep00:18
LarstiQmatti: SVM00:18
mattiSupport Vector Machine?00:20
LarstiQyeah00:20
mattiHow does it work?00:20
mattiAh.00:20
mattiA n-dimensional space.00:20
mattiI see.00:21
LarstiQmatti: spanning a maximum margin hyperplane00:21
LarstiQmatti: the real fun is in the kernel00:21
LarstiQmatti: whereby you don't have to know how to explicitly map to the higher dimensional space, just know how to calculate dot products00:21
mattiGive me a real life example.00:22
mattiHow can one use this.00:22
LarstiQmatti: a classification problem would be cancer/no cancer on breast scans00:23
mattiYep.00:23
LarstiQmatti: a regression problem: predict the maximum daily electricla load of a network00:24

LarstiQmatti: that one was a  EUNITE contest00:24
matti;]00:24
mattiLarstiQ: I am looking at PyML00:24
LarstiQright00:25
* LarstiQ hasn't really used any of the python libraries00:25
matti;]00:27
mattiNice.00:28
mattiI might bit a bit too old for that already.00:28
matti;/00:28
LarstiQmatti: we have our own svmlight bindings though ;)00:29
matti;]00:32
mattiI wish I could live forever.00:35
mattiThere is so much to learn.00:35
* LarstiQ goes to bed00:36
mattiSleep tight LarstiQ00:37
