Abstract

There are benefits to using supervised and unsupervised strategies in
extracting and parsing information from a data stream. We will
explore the benefits of using one method over the other in the real
world context of a extracting stories, events and insights from the
daily stream of social and traditional media.

This week we’re going to do some learning about the wonder that is our internet!

As promised, the here’s the link to the predator-prey info.

If you’re interested in learning more, or maybe taking the Evolutionary Robotics course when it is offered (a good idea if you ask me), check out Professor Bongard’s website here.

This week (Feb 9th) we’re going to get the second part of professor Wu’s overview of the top algorithms in data mining!

This week we’ve got Professor Josh Bongard giving a talk entitled:

Robots: Subjects or Masters?

Should be a good one!

This week (January 26th) we’ll be hacking it old-school with some shell-fu. We’ll be learning all about our friend the command line, and all sorts of awesome stuff we can do there.

Meet in the regular room (Votey 209), and we’ll hopefully be heading to the lab from there.
