Back to school with Coursera

There are two courses that have been recently relaunched at coursera.org: Machine Learning Game Theory Both are very interesting and highly recommended to attend.

Happy New Year

It’s the right time to stop rushing ahead insanely, respire, have a seat and look back for a while. Hope you all had a fantastic year full of life-long memories and events and let the new 2013 be at least twice as good as 2012. Happy New Year to you and your families!
