Ray, I'm now working with Ted on streaming k-means clustering for my senior project. I come from a software engineering background.
Once I'm done, I'd be happy to help (coding?) and see what would be needed and learn more about the whole deep learning thing (my experience with neural networks is just from an intro ML class). In any case, if you need any Java help, feel free to ask. I'll in turn want to know more about the math. ;) On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 9:08 PM, Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > Ted, > It's very interesting that you put it this way, "a replication of this > architecture".
