Yes! Just this morning (before reading this thread) I emailed Coursera to request a course like "Artificial Intelligence in Clojure". I posted on a separate thread here ("community interest in machine learning(?)") that I had made the request and provided a link for anyone else who wanted to make a

I've written to Coursera to request a course in "Artificial Intelligence with Clojure"; they offer about 8 courses related to Artificial Intelligence. One of the latest course offerings is "Functional Programming Principles in Scala" taught by the language's creator Martin Odersky. If you would li

community interest in machine learning (?)

2012-07-16 Thread Joshua Bowles
New to Clojure (but not Lisp). Does anyone have a good sense of the interest in machine learning in Clojure community? I've seen in the last few threads some interesting posts and libraries related to machine learning, and there is plenty of stuff one can get from Java (mahout, weka, clj-ml [h
