[ml] meeting notes, random forests

[Mike Schachter]

Thanks Dave!

Tomorrow we'll be talking about random forests and
the kinect. Right now I'm reading up on some basic
computer vision stuff to try and understand the papers
involved.

Anyone out there a computer vision expert/buff/connoisseur/enthusiast?
