Data Structures Related to Machine Learning Algorithms - KDnuggets

The Statsbot team has invited Peter Mills to tell you about data structures for machine learning approaches. So you've decided to move beyond canned algorithms and start to code your own machine learning methods. Maybe you've got an idea for a cool new way of clustering data, or maybe you are frustrated by the limitations in your favorite statistical classification package. In either case, the better your knowledge of data structures and algorithms, the easier time you'll have when it comes time to code up. I don't think the data structures used in machine learning are significantly different than those used in other areas of software development.
