Residential Building Estimator

That gave me the following silly image as the job description...

<points at a house> "That's be someone's home."
<points at a shed> "That's not."
<points at a flat> "That's also someone's home."
<points at a supermarket> "That's not."
...etc.

As a data analyst/modeller, I use a number of tools and techniques from data mining/machine learning/pattern recognition nowadays, but I believe them to be different from the discrete pattern matching that you do.

I will soon become an unemployed academic in under two months, when my contract expires. Been using most of my spare time (if any) trying desparately do find a new job but with no luck so far. Will see how I go in two months time.

You'd think that, but I'm actually more into clustering methods and machine learning. Which just so happens to be what you've been doing! Could I grab your name? (in a pm, of course) So that I can take a look at your publications and learn some I hope you the best of luck with your search! Teaching at uni doesn't interest you at all? Shame, I could have tried to grab you as my phd supervisor

Melbourne Uni run an enhanced math program for year 12 students which encompasses a couple of their first year subjects. Content wise it involves some proofing, number theory (incl. complex), linear alg, Vectors and multi var. calculus! It's been a while since I've done it, and teaching it is far different from just doing it, but my ceiling for math in the last few years has been Y12 Spesh and it's good to be able to push through that again

Ahh yes, that program. This was the reason why I stayed away from Melbourne. I believe that lin alg should be brought down to year 12 level though, you can do so many cool things with it and it is the basis (haha) for just about all math down the track :/

LOL. We used to have a similar joke with one of the staff at John Newell Mazda. Because they try to sound all professional the main guy that did rego checks was officially called "Vehicle Assessment Technician" So everytime we had a new apprentice he would get introduced to everyone...
Workshop Foreman: "This is Dave our Vehicle Assessment Technician"
Apprentice: "Whats that?"
Foreman: "Basically we line things up in front of him and he says Yep thats a car, yep thats a car, yep thats a car, ye... wait a minute thats a chicken!, yep thats a car"

I applaude you then. Nothing compares to this, it would be the most satisfactory job

Regional customer service manager retired a month ago, so rather than replace him, they said I can do his job… as well as my own. For no more money. So now I deal with all facets of the angry public, residents, developers, the occasional politician.

Fun and games.
