[ml] KDD cup submission status

I love open source software!
The final predicted output (using iq and score as predictors, under a Naive
Bayes model) for algebra and bridge (suitable, I believe, for submission) is
available in http://thomaslotze.com/kdd/output.tgz
The streams.tgz and jarfiles.tgz have been updated with streams for bridge
and my newly-compiled "moa_personal.jar" jarfile.
run_moa.sh should have all the steps needed to duplicate this in MOA
yourself (after creating or importing the SQL tables) -- I've also put up
MOA instructions on the wiki at
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Machine_Learning/moa
Summary: since the moa code was available on sourceforge, I was able to
create a new ClassificationPerformanceEvaluator (called
BasicLoggingClassificationPerformanceEvaluator) and re-compile the MOA
distribution into moa_personal.jar. But this allows us to use this
evaluator to print out row number and predicted probability of cfa. The
evaluator is currently pretty hard-coded for the KDD dataset right now, but
I think I can modify it to a more general task/evaluator for use in the
future (and potentially for inclusion back into the MOA trunk). In any
case, it should work for now.
Hooray for open source machine learning!
