I'm taking the Machine Learning course offered by Coursera.
They use Octave/Matlab in this lecture, however, I prefer Python and I've played around with libSVM before.
I decide to use Pyhton for all the exercises, although it's very painful to rewrite all the matlab files provided into Python.
It's actaully quite funny that I built the app EMMA with
Machine Learning(libSVM) and Natural Language Processing(NLTK) with zero knowledge of both at first. That's a
starup competition, therefore, I just built it at fast as possible. I read the documents, google, and squeeze
my head to deliver a prototype of an AI product.
I'm going to learn Machine Learning from scratch because I believe this is the future and I really enjoy it!
