Medical language processing, information extraction from patient data, text classification, and clustering.
Yes, it would be great to get a list of hackers that do ML and the domain that they are working with.

I'm working using ML in the casino industry. I use multiple forms of classification and forecasting.

Once upon a time I thought about using ml/vision in slot machines. I would try to read the gamblers emotions/age/sex and the slot machine would change stimulation (music/lights etc; not mess with the odds) to try to keep them at the machine longer.
I thought it was a good idea until I actually visited a casino. People sit at the slots in what looks like a hypnotic state. The emotions don't change much. I don't think I could have made a measurable difference.
I'm not surprised the gambling industry is using ml, but cool to hear about it. Thanks.
I work in computer vision. When I do a machine learning problem, I spend most of my time brainstorming and implementing good features. I'm getting deeper into ML (and loving it). I'm always curious what other people are doing with ML.
