 Discussion of Function Specification for Dataset Types
 ======================================================
 
+Some talking points from the September 2 meeting:
+
+ * Datasets as views/tasks (Pascal Vincent's idea): our dataset specification
+ needs to be flexible enough to accommodate different (sub)tasks and views of
+ the same underlying data.
+ * Datasets as probability distributions from which one can sample.
+ * Our specification should allow transparent handling of infinite datasets (or
+ simply datasets which cannot fit in memory)
+ * GPU/buffering issues.
+
+Commiteee: DE, OB, OD, AB, PV

+Committee members: GD, DWF, IG, DE
+
+This committee will investigate the possibility of interfacing and/or
+borrowing from other Python machine learning libraries that exist out there.
+Some questions that we need to answer:
+
+ * How much should we try to interface with other libraries? 
+ * What parts can we and should we implement ourselves and what should we leave
+ to the other libraries?
+
+Preliminary list of libraries to look at:
+
+ * Pybrain
+ * MDP
+ * Orange
+ * Shogun python bindings
+ * libsvm python bindings
