More Interesting Things!

A few more interesting things:

1) A really nice article. "Predictive Analytics in the Public Sector: Using Data Mining to Assist Better Target Selection for Audit", by Duncan Cleary from the Revenue about bulding predictive models in SAS. Very practical stuff.

2) Stanford University lecturers Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning have a free online natural language processing course running at the moment. The Week 3 lectures on Text Classification do a really nice job covering the Naive Bayes classifiers, bag of words type representations and the use of precision, recall and f-measure to evaluate performance.
