k-means + a linear model = good results

The secret of the big guys

See http://fastml.com/the-secret-of-the-big-guys/ for description.

If interested, also check out sofia-ml with sparse RBF mapping, described in the article.

kin8nm - Spearmint experiment for the kin8nm dataset
madelon - Spearmint experiment for the madelon dataset

The code in these folders can also be run independently of Spearmint, using run_once.py. Either way, you will need sofia-ml and Vowpal Wabbit installed. We use VW because we like it, although there is also a linear learner in sofia-ml, so you can do both clustering and supervised learning just using sofia-ml.
