I guess you were teaching a machine to learn how to predict a provided pattern or statistically analyse the said pattern. What machine learning method did you concentrate on (back propagation neural networks, SVMs another discriminative classifer or something novel?).
I'm working in a different direction here; not as much on how to *detect* patterns, but rather on how to *exploit* them to have more efficient search and decision-making algorithms. Basically, the stochastic process serves as a much better-informed model to guide the process of search, compared to the standard idea of just having a heuristic function.
What machines / hardware did you use, when I tried using some of these methods the run times were estimated in days for my home PC. I was trying to teach the machine to play Connect 4 from a few hundred game's move data and results.
Machine learning methods will vary extremely widely in how long they take depending on the types of approaches you use, how much data you have, and what kind of preprocessing you do.
In my case I wasn't doing machine learning, but I did still have to run some simulations for a good couple of days solid to get performance numbers. Since it wasn't anything too demanding it was just on my work PC, which is an i7 with 16GB of RAM.
Also, as far as the kinds of methods I'm using, basically the core ideas are probabilistic models like Markov Decision Processes and Bayesian Networks.
Might have a job with a smaller company who was recently acquired by a large network. They have plans to work with them to provide a service which is basically what everyone on here wants i.e. You get to choose the channels you pay for.
They already have a pretty solid track record with providing software to live stream events like past superbowls which is pretty cool.
I was just invited as a featured guest to my favorite convention: Anime Los Angeles! Free Hotel, daily per diem, parking, green room access, and (obviously) badges for me and my friends!
I was a featured guest last year, and got parking and green room access, but now I'm getting my hotel comped and actual money for daily expenses... This is just amazing. I'm over the moon! ^________^

Finally found out we are getting our laptops and training for the work at home program next week. Even better, I only have to come into the office 1 day a week instead of 2.
It will either be Monday or Wednesday. I'm hoping for Wednesday.
Awesome, get it uploaded to drive thru rpg quick so we can plug it on tonight's show!
I'm handing it out to some more playtesters first for balance and there's gonna be a kickstart-y thing first so I can print some up for conventions. But the part where I do actual heavy lifting is done.
The social engineering game i helped design, build and run during CyberSEED 2015 just finished yesterday, and the participants loved it! Of the 18 levels that were designed, the best team only got to level 12 and all the teams absolutely loved the human interaction levels I ran! I'm bummed that the teams didn't get to see everything we set up, but I'm really glad at how impressed everyone was and that 14 different universities came to compete.
My homeless Ash costume went down pretty well at Halloween. Also found what looks to be a Maine-coon kitten in my wood pile. Which is a bit bloody odd as Maine is the opposite side of the world to me. ITs working name is either Dickhead of Horse (the pun on footrot flats).

Related: I got my first job last week. Feels good to have something on my resume besides "failed the best high school in the country."

My tour is up and I can finally go home and work on something else.
