Quote from dtrader98:
Take for example a support vector machine, very difficult to understand from the earlier literature unless you had a strong math background (even then). But once you are able to build the tools (and see them work) it is like having instant enlightenment regarding what they are actually useful for without the need to delve into long obfuscated derivations.
Great blog dtrader, look forward to a tutorial on SVM...Would love for that instant enlightment to happen to me.
