Machine Learning and Ketosis

Ariel lost 20 lbs of weight and documented his progress using a series of scripts. The VW project is co-sponsored by Microsoft and Yahoo Research. Ariel had logged his data as a simple CSV file using only weight, sleep, exercise and foods consumed as data points. He then wrote a perl script to convert his CSV over to the vowpal-wabbit traning-set. He learned which foods, exercise and sleep patterns showed a positive correlation with weight loss.
