Machine Learning – Rock Stack

Algorithmic trading

Wow so it has been a long time. I’ve recently been looking at stocks again and just two days ago I found a stock and I was like I should buy that. Then I didn’t. But I really really should have because it then proceeded to go up by 20% in 2 days. So, this… Continue reading Algorithmic trading

Machine Learning and History

I’ve had this idea for doing clustering and data mining of history texts. Would be interesting to creating learning algorithms that can learn timelines and context. Essentially history textbooks are structured possibly geographically and as a time series of events. Then doing graphical analysis and social analysis on these structures. Could compare history texts and… Continue reading Machine Learning and History

Autonomous Vehicles

So, I’ve been thinking rather small lately. Especially with that autonomous mixer idea, I mean pathetic, am I right :p. I really want to go back to the reason I wanted to get into AI and multiagent systems which is making autonomous vehicles! So, I’m sure everyone knows that car manufacturers and even Google and Baidu… Continue reading Autonomous Vehicles

EMG for robot gait creation.

Datamining Forums

Would be interesting to compare writing styles, format etc of users on forums. Would be interesting if we could identify users with multiple accounts. Also, would be interesting to look at the change in style over time per person to see if it was hacked or something out of the ordinary. Plot emotions over time.… Continue reading Datamining Forums

Machine Learning App

My brother got an internship as an accountant. One of his duties is a pricing things for the marketing department. Basically figure out how much all of the components cost and add in all the margins, expected demand etc. This takes about 3 days to put together a single price. This is crazy. It is… Continue reading Machine Learning App

Comparing clustering methods

So, I’m doing a pattern recognition project and I’m comparing different clustering techniques in R. I found http://www.r-bloggers.com/anova-and-tukeys-test-on-r/ has a nice intro on using ANOVA and Tukey. The method they show also includes a method for plotting the results (the confidence intervals)! So, thats nice.

Biometrics and passwords

I’m taking pattern recognition. We had a discussion on biometrics and we came up with the idea of using the gyro info from a smart phone as a password. This would allow users to shake and move their phone in some pattern that would allow them to log into their system. I found this paper… Continue reading Biometrics and passwords

Fractal clustering project

I talked to Professor Dominicani and about the fractal clustering idea (thinking of making it or pattern recognition class) and she had great suggestions. She recommended http://snap.stanford.edu/data/ that has a bunch of graph datasets (like social networks and the like). Since such things tend to be self similar it would seem like a perfect use-case for… Continue reading Fractal clustering project
