'm searching for a scholar partner to explore the area of machine learning, Solomonoff induction, K-complexity and the like, but would also be interested in other fields, I'm not yet settled for this, so if you'd rather like to explore metaethics, I'd probably be in for that as well.

I have signed up for a series of free online classes offered by a bunch of Stanford professors this year (with particular interest in the machine learning and AI class). I have also considered getting some serious thought done on the various metaethics material on LW, its one of the few sequences that I haven't really approached systematically.

My country of residence is Slovenia (which shares the Central European time zone with Germany). I'm a physics student in my (very) early 20s. I'm afraid my German has gotten rather poor with years of non use.

That sounds great, I'm gonna enroll for the ai and ml classes. This will be taking much of my spare time, but until it starts, we could try if we can cooperate well and look at the metaethics sequence if you like.

I have signed up for the Machine Learning Stanford class, too! Should we form a study group on LW?

Sure, why not?
