I’ve noticed that the best learning happens when I get myself out of the comfort zone. So in order to expand my horizons I came up with a project called Travelling Hackerman. The majority of information about Travelling Hackerman will be posted to https://travelling-hackerman.us and https://fb.com/travelling-hackerman

There is a lot of high quality material for people with different levels of knowledge in machine learning. It requires a lot of digging to sort it and find the most concise ones. Here is a list of most useful articles I found for a ruby developer that wants to start machine learning quickly.

I will send you occasional email about new approaches, learnings and experiments I have conducted
