Anfangsformalitäten

[domi]

1. Wollt ihr diese Gruppe auf Englisch oder Deutsch führen?
2. sobald das geklärt wäre, würde ich sagen, dass wir einen Thread
eröffnen, so dass jeder ein wenig über seinen persönlichen Background
schreiben kann ;)
3. Seid ihr an gelegentlichen Treffen interessiert?

Freue mich auf eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit!

liebe Grüße, Dominik

[Paul Mayer]

Hallo Dominik,

1. Für mich wäre beides in Ordnung.
2. Dann schreibe ich schon einmal kurz etwas: Habe einen Bachelorabschluss in Informatik (Innsbruck). Hauptinteresse liegt im Gebiet der Bioinformatik (arbeite auf diesem Feld in Wien) und besitze ein gewisses Machine Learning Grundwissen (ohne konkrete Spezialisierung in eine der "beliebten" Bayes- oder Kernel-Richtungen).
3. Grundsätzich ja, bin allerdings erst ab 20.10. wieder in Wien und dann müsste man eben sehen, ob sich Termine finden, die jedem zeitlich liegen.

Anhängen möchte ich noch:
- Habt ihr bereits weitere Informationen zugesendet bekommen? Die VO des ML Kurses hat schließlich bereits einmal stattgefunden.
- Rein online: Wäre dafür (sollten sich nicht noch mehr Leute finden), dass wir uns eventuell mit anderen Deutsch- oder auch Englischsprachigen zusammenschließen - rein zum Austausch.

mfg,
Paul

[Dominik]

Nagut dann gleich mal zu mir.

Ich studiere seit WS 2010/2011 an der Medizinischen Universität Wien (Humanmedizin) und bin ab diesem Semester auf der TU Wien für das Bachelorstudium Software & Information Engineering inskribiert.

Ich bin informatisch generell sehr interessiert in Algorithmen, Software Entwicklung, AI, etc., habe allerdings bisher noch fast keine praktische Erfahrung sammeln können.

Insbesondere interessieren mich Themen wie z.B. driverless cars, Lernsoftware, Medizinische Software und Web Development.

Hier gibts übrigens anscheinend einige Videos die noch nicht auf der offiziellen Seite verfügbar sind. Also wer Lust hat kann vorarbeiten ;)

Hey guys,

1. My German is very bad, I can understand you but I cannot properly communicate. I'd prefer this to be in English but whatever suits you.

2. I study Business Administration in Prague. I worked as software engineer for 4 years now, had my own company that focused on web and mobile applications. I work for Chicago based start up incubator/design agency as project leader and software engineer. I'm 20 years old.

3. I would probably want to visit Wien at some point so I would be able to meet with you guys.

[Andreas Schlapsi]

Hi all,

I think we should stick with English for the moment.

I have been a software engineer for over 13 years by now. I don't have
profound knowledge of AI or Machine Learning, but I'm always
interested in those topics. I think that knowledge in Machine Learning
will become more important in the near future. I'm enrolled in the AI
and the Machine Learning classes.

I think that we should meet for example once a week. I don't know how
much people we will be, but I think that a regular meeting would help
us to keep the motivation and to help each other with difficult
topics. We can additionally exchange information with other groups.

I found a Machine Learning course by Andrew Ng at
http://academicearth.org/courses/machine-learning

Meeting once a week would be great. When are you guys usually available? Also, what would you like to use to communicate? 

2011/10/1 Andreas Schlapsi <andreas....@gmail.com>

[Dominik]

I'd say we'd pick one of these form of communication (instant
messaging is just way better for some things than forums/google
groups)

* Skype (Possibility to speak with each other if we want to)
* IRC channel
* google+ hangout (didn't try this yet so I don't know if this would
work)

we should keep the google group for organizational purposes though

skype : dominik-schubert (only text-messaging atm)

concerning the meetings... I'll get back to you in a few days about
that.

[Paul Mayer]

Hi,

I would prefer either Skype or IRC (I think, I even read about a "semi-official" channel
for the ML course). By the way: Don't forget to enroll in the courses.

Regards,
Paul

[Ernad Halilovic]

Why not use gtalk for instant messaging? We get logging + everybody uses it.

[Andres]

Hello everyone,

It's now just a few more days until lectures start, I am slowly
getting excited.
My name is Andres, I work in UX Design and study Psychology but am now
slowly getting into programming (again).
Weekly meetings would be cool. It will be hard to make them efficient,
as study groups have a tendency to distract people from the study
subject but I think we can do this.
What would be the best way to schedule our meeting? Are you guys open
to using the "Find a time" function in Google Calendar? You give
permissions to other people to view your calendar, but you can decide
what will be shown and what will be hidden.

Best,
Andres

PS: I am fine, with Google Chat/gtalk, Skype, IRC or Google+ Hangout.
I think Google+ Hangout would be really interesting to try. Are all of
you on G+ already?

[Dominik]

I'm a heavy user of Google Calendar but the 'find a time' function
wouldn't work for me since all my appointments are splitted in a few
different calendars ( 2 universities, 1 privat, 1 shared, etc. etc. )

[Nik Graf]

Hi everbody,
I'm Nik. A few months ago I co-founded a company with two colleges
(blossom.io) and besides that I'm finishing my bachelor degree at
Vienna UT. My knowledge in this area is very little, but I'm very
interested into it.
Would be nice to try out Google+ Hangout. If it doesn't work out we
always can fall back to Skype/IRC.

[Paul Mayer]

Hi,

Never used Google+ Hangout or the calendar, but let's try it out. My google+
account: https://plus.google.com/107199046694528196487
I will only be sparsely available until October the 20th and will join up with you
then.

Regards,
Paul

[Ernad Halilovic]

Hey,

Why not use gTalk for the beginning? Not if Hangout is going to work out well.

Btw, I created a repo for all the code for implementations we're going to write. Let me know you github username if you want to be added as collaborator. Andreas and me already went through first.

God, typos:

• Not sure if hangout is going to work out well
• Let me know your github username

Added you guys on google+ as well - Google Talk is also fine for me, I don't really
mind what IM we are going to use (have not used gtalk yet either). My github acc:

Paul

[Ernad Halilovic]

Added all of you to git repository.

Hi everyone,

I'm Martin and I've been a software engineer for about 10 years now. I
don't know much of AI or Machine Learning but I'm interested into it.
For communications, Google+ or Google Talk are fine as well as Skype.
My Google+ account: https://plus.google.com/103120682419125849073.

Hey Martin,

Your github username please?

[mjl Martin J. Laubach]

  Hi guys,

  I'm probably the prototypical grumpy oldtimer here :-) I actually have a Dipl.-Ing. in Computer Science with specialisation (Wahlfach) AI, but that was some time last century and I'm curious to re-learn things I've long since forgotten, so I'm taking the AI and ML classes. Not quite sure whether I've enough time and determination to do the advanced tracks though.

  Cheers,

        mjl (yes, that's the github username as well)

[Ernad Halilovic]

Hey guys,

Martin, you've been added to git repo.

Andreas and me will have second meeting (via gTalk) this Wednesday at 9 PM. Anyone who can make it, please do because we'll go through first week and discuss everything.

Hi Ernad,
