I'm learning about machine-learning in general and both courses I've taken are basically intros to Python's sci-kit which is good for a high-level look but gives no clue to the underlying algos.
I searched the J wiki for "quadratic" and found a mention from a 2005 NYCJUG meeting where we were lamenting that other environments simply have quadratic solvers available but J does not. Looking into it more, I was unsure "quadratic" means in "quadratic solver"; from "Numerical Recipes", I gather that it may refer to quadratic convergence. On further reflection, I'm not exactly sure what this means either but suspect it means something like O(sqrt(n)) solution time but am not sure. I'm also unclear if this non-linear solver in J - http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Scripts/nlls - is an example of a quadratic solver (with this follow-up page I put together - http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NYCJUG/2010-11-09/Levenberg-MarquardtAlgorithm ). Perhaps someone more acquainted with this domain can shed some light. My ultimate goal for these sort of tools is to do something with the million or so photos I have but I'm seeing from what I've learned so far that the real work is in feature-extraction, so that at least is something where I can use J to good effect. I'm less interested in a wrapper such as the one Scott Locklin mentioned and more interested in expressing the algorithm in an understandable, compact form but may end up surrendering to the popularity contest and simply using the Python library.
