1127	Machine learning library	KetilMalde	none	"'''Note that this was proposed some years ago, and any prospective student should first identify a suitable mentor, and discuss the details with her.
'''

Machine learning includes many methods (e.g, neural networks, support vector machines, hidden markov models, genetic algorithms, self-organizing maps) that are applicable to classification and/or pattern recognition problems in many fields.

A selection of these methods should be implemented as a Haskell library, the choice would depend on the qualifications and interests of the student.  Optionally, a more limited library with an application using it could be implemented.

My main interest is in bioinformatics, but as machine learning methods are useful in a vast number of fields, I'm happy to hear from prospective mentors and other people who are interested, as well as from prospective applicants.
