BernoulliMix program package is used on our machine learning course T-61.5140 Machine Learning: Advanced Probabilistic methods at the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in Finland as the core of the term project. Instead of making students program most of the solutions by themselves, we give them a ready implementation and make them design experimental runs, produce results and think of their meaning. I gave a talk about experiences in teaching at the Workshop on Teaching Machine Learning in Saint Etienne, France in May 2008. You may want to take a look at the slides of the talk Learning mixture models — courseware for finite mixture models of multivariate Bernoulli distributions or the paper Learning mixture models itself. The current version (v. 1.11) of the documentation included in the package is also separately available in (PostScript, 329k), (PDF, 194k) formats.
