Ask HN: Machine Learning Hacker Buddies

Hey,

I'm a web developer with a tilt for robotics. (Often Lego). I love machine the concepts of learning -- Genetic Algorithms, Baysian Classification, and so on. I also love graph databases (such as neo4j), because they encourage a very free perspective on using big data; this I believe will be very useful for machine learning.

I'm working on two projects right now: First a chrome extension to add syntax highligting to GChat, powered by baysian classification and a NodeJS server. Secondly, a robotic Lego motorcycle, which would have intelligent/learning PID balance and iPhone control. Then another one, so we can race.

If you think collaborating on this would be fun (bonus for being in the bay), drop me a line!

Cheers
