I wasn't able to participate in the Stanford Machine Learning experimental class last fall because of time constraints, but I'm fascinated by ML and would like to experiment with it.<p>What are the ebooks, blogs, user groups, getting started articles, etc. out there that you like most?
The class is starting again in three weeks: <a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/ml" rel="nofollow">https://www.coursera.org/course/ml</a>.<p>I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Looking forwards to it!
