It is the distribution of the average of n binomial distributions (taking on values x±1)†, which according to the CLT converges to a Gaussian as n→∞. [†] x is where it is centered.…

The copyright issue can be a bit tricky. Assuming that Instagram goes on and sells users' pictures - who's liable if somebody uploads a picture which he/she doesn't own, and then I…

Great! I love the service, I miss only an app for my Android tablet. Keep up the good work.

The article uses the magnitude of the coefficients, which is computed using both the real and the imaginary part.

This is a nice way to see how the DFT is computed, however I find the view of the FT as a change of basis as even more important - generalizes easily to other bases and and one can…

Could you recommend some introductory books? I've always felt bad not having clue about art.

There's http://www.videolectures.net , but I think that they only host their own material.

Just landed!

Very interesting, I have only one nitpick (maybe for the paranoid only) : why not show the cumulative distribution but pick 200$ as a threshold?

Well not quite. While SVMs gained a lot of popularity for having nice properties e.g. 1) a convex problem which means a unique solution and a lot of already existing technology can…

There's a Coursera course by Martin Odersky going on at the moment ( https://class.coursera.org/progfun-2012-001/class/index ).

I guess you haven't seen the Old Spice commercial [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE ].

There are better approaches for tackling this problem (with 0-regret asymptotically). You can take a look at the UCB (Upper Confidence Bound) algorithm, and you can do even more if…

Looks nice I must admit :) Are you fitting a quadratic curve? When you have multiple points what do you plan to use - a spline?

No US universities, I guess they can easily get way better paying internships.

Unfortunately, even if illegal, there is a way around it. So what some of the teachers where I studied did (one of the eastern European countries) was to send her/his students to v…

Oh my, why the keyboard? Now I have one less reason to go with a Thinkpad over a MacBook :(.

You have some complaints about the ML class?

As I experienced it, Szeliski's book is better as a reference as it covers lots of material (just see the number of citations at the end). I don't think it's an easy read without r…

I woundn't consider The Elements of Statistical Learning Theory a (very) basic book. It covers plenty of material in relatively good depth.

Why did they charge the graphic designer and the developers?
