I remember taking Moore's grad level Machine Learning course in 2005 (was co-taught with Tom Mitchell). I have great memories from that course, especially interactions with my fellow robotics friends: Mark Palatucci (now a co-founder and officer at Anki), Geoffrey Hollinger (now a professor at Oregon State), and Jon Huang (now a postdoc at Stanford).
Moore gave us a very intuitive way to understand machine learning algorithms, and Mitchell gave us a more theoretical account. I remember working with Jon Huang on a Latent Dirichelet Allocation algorithm implementation for the final project. It was a lot of fun and very intense at the same time. Such great memories!
Moore have me an excellent foundation of concepts, and I'm really glad for CMU to have such a respectable figure back on campus.
I expect great things for CMU, especially Robotics and Machine Learning!
