Presentation: Tweet"Smart Software with F#"
Google, Netflix, Amazon and more, are using smart algorithms that leverage ever
increasing clock cycles, and a plethora of user generated data, to find patterns
that derive value. They've brought smart software to the attention of the
software development mainstream: PageRank, machine learning, support vector
machines, classification techniques, search and rank, and more. We explore some
of these algorithms and their implementations using a new functional programming
language for the Microsoft .NET platform, called F#. It has features and
techniques that make working with data and building smarts much easier. We'll
start with a walk through of the language, then get right down to hacking out
smart algorithms that you can leverage in your own software.
Keywords: Functional Programming, .NET, Collective Intelligence, Data Mining, Cloud Computing
Target audience: Developers who are interested in collective intelligence algorithms, and how functional programming languages like F# can be leveraged to build them efficiently
