Also - which new methods have you learned this year?

KMeans, Kernel KMeans, Spectral Clustering, SVMs with chi2, RBF and linear kernel, Linear SGD SVMs, Approximate kernel SVMs, SVR, Neural Networks, Gaussian mixture models, CRFs, Quickshift, Mean Shift, Normalized Cuts, Multi-Instance Kernels, Multi-Instance SVMs, SVR-SVM for multiple instance learning, Non-local means and I tried the decision trees in sklearn once ;)

I learned this year about lots of approximate SVM things this year and also a lot about multiple instance learning. I finally learned how alpha expansion and alpha-beta swaps are done to minimize submodular energies.

That's a lot of stuff! How many algorithms did you code yourself? If you didn't code them, where did you obtain the software?

I coded some neural networks stuff myself, some Multi-Instance stuff, kernel approximation things and I think quickshift in python. I often use my labs CUDA/Python lib to speed things up. But mostly, I use scikit-learn. It is a python machine learning library. You should use it, too (if you're not already using it). Everyone should. It is awesome :) - Also, the developers largely overlap with the top posters on metaoptimize ;)

Other than that I just use code accompanying papers. Why is no one else answering the question? I think would be quite interesting.

in china may few will use python , more choose C++ or matlab
