Hey everybody.
Here is a rough evaluation of the user survey.
I am pretty sure there is no sensitive data in it, so I think I will send around the full CSV after
we closed it.

For now, some numbers:
There are 306 answers currently.

Academic Background:
Computer Science        
        181     60%
Engineering (Electric, Computer, IT related)    
        75      25%
Engineering (Oil, Civil, non IT Related)        
        9       3%
Biology / Medicine      
        38      13%
Chemistry       
        10      3%
Physics / Astronomy     
        29      10%
Math / Statistics       
        56      18%
Social Sciences/Economy         
        16      5%

        
        
        
Self Taught     
        24      8%
Other   
        22      7%



Current occupation:
Academic Research (Student, Professor, PostDoc, ...)    
        174     57%
Industry (Analyst, Programmer, ...)     
        110     36%
Hobbyist        
        7       2%
Other   
        14      5%


Algorithms that users want to see:
Neural Networks / Deep learning
        84
Structured Prediction   32
Latent Dirichlet Allocation     12
Adaboost        9
Logistic Regression     5



Things we should improve:
Sparse support  51
Python3         24
Parallelism     22
Dataset Loading         20
Nothing         18
GPU/CUDA        12
Organization of Docs    11
Visualization   11
Online Learning         12
Pandas Integration      9
Time Series     8


The last one was primed for Sparse support, Py3k and dataset loading, as these were suggested in the question. I didn't differentiate between "what is annoying" and "what would you like to see" here. The last two tables are manually extracted from the text fields so may not be 100% accurate,
but I tried my best.

I recommend looking at the full survey to get some sort of impression.


I think we should remove the links now and then close the survey.
Then I'll do a final evaluation and a blog post ;)

Cheers,
Andy
