The week is officially over, but there's still so much to do
by Administrator. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.
117 days left before I have to hand in my Msc thesis, a bit more than a month before the http://ai-class.com starts (that I still hope to be able to take, in order to actually learn something new and be challenged – unlike the Masters course I've been taking the last two years). Also – as if not enough – there's work waiting to be done. Long night and long weekend ahead, I'm afraid.

Hope it is fun nonetheless – at least partially
It actually is – knowing that there is an end to this particular madness helps a lot. Also the preparations for ai-class are fun (re-learning all of my linear algebra is more fun than expected)
Thanks for that AI-Class info! Wow, exciting – just subscribed! Will be a very welcome challenge!
Cool! Want to do a study group?
Sounds cool! Did you find any requirement/preparations list for that course?
I have ordered the textbook from Amazon, should arrive in around 7 days. Also I'm refreshing Linear Algebra via the Khan Academy (http://kahnacademy.com). According to Norvig (on Quora) that should be enough to get going…
We used the book last year in the AI class at the university. It is a good book with nice examples and exercises. It helped me a lot.
As Ruby programmer you may want to have a look at http://www.zero-x.net. The 2nd season just ended 2 days ago.
zero-x looks really interesting. So many things, so little time… Will have to pass on that one for now unfortunately.
Lots of Scheme and/or Lisp for you then?
The programming language of choice seems to be Python, but one can seemingly use whatever language one wants. Ruby should be good… Or I could dig out my Clojure experiments and learn a new language while I'm at it…
There are some AI for Ruby libraries.. http://ai4r.rubyforge.org/
May I suggest that you also refresh your statistics. AI needs a lot of it lately: hidden markov models, POMDPs, Bayes, NLPs, etc…even if some refresh is on the schedule.
Yay. I know about the statistics. One step at a time ;)
