Infer: Inference and Machine Learning in Clojure

It's probably worth pointing out that this project has no relation to Infer.NET (I don't think so, anyway), another machine learning library from Microsoft Research and written in F#.

i used Infer.NET: buggy as anything, horrible syntax. it's for doing inference in graphical models using EP; these are the same techniques as those MS use for trueskill.

this (Infer) looks like it's for a different kind of inference: classification (essentially linear, but with a few bells and whistles).

(not graphical models right now; probabilities.clj is very much lacking.)

And why is this even called Infer? It's not doing inference...

BTW, Infer.NET is written in C#, but there is an F# wrapper.

Cheers, my bad.
