learning

[hamsterman]

I was thinking. This forum is great when learning the basics of programming, but after that there is not that much to gain ( other than improving your skill of debugging terribly formated code, of course ).

I figured that we could share whatever learning resources we come across. Surely, together we can gather more than separately.

Post whatever you find interesting. Papers, talks, books, etc. It doesn't have to be new. It doesn't have to be related to C++. Try keeping to CS though. It doesn't matter how complex the resource you post is. I hope that people of various skill will be able to make some use of this thread.

When you decide to share something, post its title, a link to it and a short description of what it is. Do bother to make sure that the same thing wasn't posted before.

Any contributions appreciated.

I gues I'll start.
"Hierarchical Temporal Memory"

Describes a machine learning model similar to neural networks, however this one much more accurately represents how real neurons work.

So you're proposing a news aggregation thread?

If that's the case then here's my contribution: http://slashdot.org/
YAY! I present the link that keeps on linking. J/K

I think it would be better if we DID specialize to a specific topic, this would at least spark a discusion instead of encourging people to crank out a detached comment then move on. This would also prevent multiple discussions from crowding the whole thread.

That's not quite what I meant. I did name the thread "learning" after all. My intention was to gather something one could lean something from and possibly apply it as well.
science.slashdot seems to be more about fun facts you can use in a conversation..
