Back to school...

I signed up for a data mining seminar at work and to my surprise, it's actually just an implementation of 6.041 (prob + stats) so naturally I became sleepy after the first half hr of the chat, haha, j/k :p
But in all seriousness I think this is stuff I've done in a pset last term... the theory is a bit dry but rather simple, but what I like is the fact that it's being implemented , particularly the implementation for image denoising, which I find rather cool given that I'm a bit of an image junkie... LOL this guy keeps talking about matchmaking and how we haven 't made any advances on it in the last 50 years and how we could use algorithms such as his to improve on it, haha... I wonder why he's so interested on the topic :p
