Machine Learning Object Oriented Programming

A practitioner/learner of machine learning (ML) 'potentially' comes from either a computer science (CS) background or more of a Science, Maths and Engineering background. Therefore, there generally tends to be a gap in knowledge, understanding and culture between these two camps. The CS minded people typically value structure, organization, efficacy and replication over speed and scientific achievement and vice versa. An ideal situation would be where this is balanced. Since my class doesn't offer me this luxury, I decided to take a crack at it on my own.
