MetaOptimize is hiring contractors for exciting project work building real-world NLP + machine learning systems.
I have a lot of who cool project work for people who are good hackers, and can deliver fast and correct code and are self-starters.
This is for remote, short-term gigs. You can set your hours. The only requirement is that you kick ass and add value from day one.

We are looking for generalists:
* Hardcore programmers who learn new technologies and APIs quickly.
* Experienced sysadmins, especially who have experience with AWS and EC2.
And also specialists:
* People with backgrounds in machine learning, natural language
processing, information retrieval, and/or search. Medium experience is
fine, you don't have to have a PhD.
* Python/Django programmers
* Java programmers
Did I miss you? Send me an email anyway, and explain how you kick ass and are a self-starter.
Example things you might work on:
* Take this Python/Java program that operates in batch over textfiles,
and convert it into a webservice (REST+JSON or XML-RPC or whatever)
that operates real-time online (one document at a time).
* I have a NLP tool but the output is dirty. Build these simple text
processing components to clean it up, e.g. by discarding low freq
terms.
* Exploratory statistical analysis over data sets, to see if there are
any interesting patterns. (More open ended)
* Take this code for a neural network, and write scripts that batch
invoke the NN with different hyperparameters to do model selection.
I agree, good thread, but there was precisely one option there that fit my skill set (and I'd venture to say that my skillset is quite similar to many folks looking for part-time work), so I figured it'd be useful.
Didn't your very similar submission yesterday get closed? I have to express my concern about threads like this. I do not believe HN is your own personal job board, nor do I care to see many submissions of people's talents looking for work. Sorry for being harsh, but two submissions in two days...
I'm doing part time Android work for my old employer although honestly I barely know what I'm doing. It's editing an existing Android client app that they inherited and are successfully selling. I don't know if they're open to hiring anyone else to do the changes (I am pretty cheap) but I really have no time for it anymore and have told them so on many occasions. If anyone is interested, I can make an introduction...send me an email (link in profile)

We're looking for a remote part time developer with strong CodeIgniter/LAMP/JS/jQuery experience. Someone with 5+ years of experience. Cool project, contact me!
at http://getglue.com we are looking for sysadmins, backend devs (we are a Java shop), and possibly a mobile developer. all of these are full time- but we are certainly open to remote work for the right people.
Same here, I have worked with RoR/Coldfusion/actionscript/Mysql/Oracle primarily in jobs and Co-ops and familiar with HTML/CSS/javascript. Before that I have worked with java/C#/c++ and a little PHP. I am looking for a remote flash job, particularly in games, I have previously worked for a company called Woogi World and have several of my creations online.
