Making software is hard. Every once in a while we find some code that really helps the process. It makes our own code intelligible: almost fun! Sometimes the magical code is of our own making but often we are using someone else's code. In eithe...

I have long considered software engineering to be a craft that must be honed over years of careful study and precise implementation. What we learn in the labs of school and contrived examples are indeed important but only when carefully used in our d...

As some of you know I have been working on a machine learning library for .NET called numl. The main purpose of the library is to abstract away some of the mundane issues surrounding setting up the learning problem in the first place. Additionally so...

It was absolutely a blast to be able to present my new machine learning library at CodeMash this year. One of the key goals of the library is to ensure that it is readily accessible to all of its users. Machine learning can often be an intimidating s...

Supervised Learning In supervised learning, the algorithm is given labeled examples in order to come up with an appropriate model that defines the data and can also correctly label future examples correctly (or adequately). Supervised learning can be...

Introduction I had the priviledge of presenting at CodeStock. It was absolutely great. I was surprised and humbled at the reception of my session regarding Machine Learning. As such, I wanted to do a series of posts regarding what it is I wish to acc...
