having anything to have....?

Doesn't that statement tell you the amount of coffee I had today?

Correction: I haven't been having anything in the morning except for coffee.

no, but it illustrates the point

Switched focus from AI to software engineering since I basically already completed it. I can learn AI in my free time. No more pressure for AI yay.

[depricated]

that gives you time to get a grasp on your own intelligence! Baby steps, neo!

Would you(if you are willing,) be kind enough to share the resources of the "I can learn AI in my free time," part?

There are a plethora of books available (classroom orientated and otherwise) magazines, groups, etc.

Shouldn't be too tricky to muster up some extra reading.

Here you go

That's a weird book title. :|

Bad people using computers in a bad ways eventually get caught... throw in some minor social engineering and they would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the meddling law enforcement.

Soooooo maybe dial back my python uses for just pattern recognition and analysis.

Quote

Two New Jersey traders were arrested on Monday for allegedly manipulating prices of more than 2,000 New York Stock Exchange- and Nasdaq-listed shares resulting in more than $26 million in illegal profits over a two-year period.

Regulators, law enforcement, and the exchanges use technology to see, and track, manipulative trading that, in this case happened more than 23,000 times and often lasted just a few minutes.
[...]
The complaint filed against Taub and Shmalo by the U.S. Attorney says they looked for companies with low trading volumes and then entered numerous trades using “helper” accounts that signaled false information to the market, artificially inflating their prices. Later they sold the shares in “winner” accounts at the artificially inflated prices after accumulating positions at lower prices.

Taub and Shmalo, and additional unnamed conspirators, relied on pre-arranged and coordinated trading among dozens of brokerage accounts they controlled
[...]
Brokerage firms frequently questioned Taub and Shmalo about apparently manipulative trading patterns in the accounts such as wash trades, spoofing, and/or layering and sometimes closed the accounts. Layering is when a trader places non-bona fide orders to buy or sell securities in order to move the price of a security up or down and then quickly cancels them before they are executed. A wash trade allows the trader to create the illusion of volume by simultaneously selling and buying the same stock. Spoofing is when a non-bona fide orders are entered to encourage other traders to place orders that the original trader can exploit after canceling the fake order and entering an order on the opposite side of the market.
[...]
They also put off the inquiries by pretending to be unaware of the violations, in one case apologizing and saying “I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Taub and Shmalo are each is charged with one criminal count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud which carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a fine the greater of $250,000 or twice the gain derived from the offense or twice the loss caused by the offense.

@Neo; I did not know that you read that book!! How is it? It teaches you to rely on her gathering capabilities to know and to be get the recommended books!!

anyways;

I am considering to start reading Artificial Intelligence a modern Approach, third edition by Stuart Russell.

[modi123_1]

That is a recommended book.

If you don't have solid linear algebra chops, I would suggest you start there. Modern AI is simply pattern matching, finding best fit to a curve*, and the fundamental math for this starts at (does not end at, but starts at) linear algebra. This is important, since without understanding the math, you're basically working from a kit. If you want to actually do AI, you need to understand how the parts fit together.
Having got a grasp on linear algebra, you might look into some of the fundamental techniques of machine learning - Andrew Ng's coursera course on the subject will be a good introduction there. Once you've done that, you will probably have some good ideas on which way you want to proceed - if not, you probably want to find an area of study that speaks to you more clearly.

*in a sense, the enhanced stupidity approach described in Russell and Norvig really all comes down to a problem of compression: how can we best compress the data we've seen so far into a formula that will match data we have not yet seen. There is no reason to think of this as "intelligence", of course, but it pleases people to use the word.

With the zero/sub-zero winter weather it's time to turn on some oatmeal flavoring roulette. This morning - apple/cranberry! Win!

I probably should find some with less sugar... but no worse than a breakfast bar it seems.

Xmas party at work today. Yay!

How does that go with your Indian flare going on up there?
