this seem like an interesting idea, but it lacks some "high level structure", or possibly a better search.

For example, I am sure there are general topics for "classification", "recommendation", or "similarity", but I wouldn't know where to start.

Co-creator of Metacademy here. Colorado and I are intending Metacademy to be a “package manager for knowledge,” where you can easily find the particular thing you want to learn about (e.g. deep neural nets) without having to track down all the prerequisites (e.g. gradient descent) yourself. Basically, we’ve annotated a dependency graph for the core concepts in the field, and it uses the graph to produce step-by-step learning plans geared directly towards your goals.

Sorry if you can't reach the site. We’re both doing this as volunteers, and I guess we weren’t prepared for the level of traffic we’re getting. In the meantime, you can find more details about our high-level goals here: http://hunch.net/?p=2714

If you don’t have a particular goal in mind and just want a general overview, check out the roadmaps, e.g. http://www.metacademy.org/roadmaps/rgrosse/bayesian_machine_...

Submitter here, thanks for creating metacademy. it's helped me a lot in school.

I can confirm the same.
