It's tailored to be difficult, I took this course right after the question above was autosuggested to me.
Also while "the moon" could mean anything, there's only one Moon. I gave it a fighting chance.
- IshKebab 6y agoDunno if you're native but ".. on Moon" is not right. It should be "..on the Moon". Don't ask me why it is different for Earth and the Moon but it is! I would expect any language model to be robust to minor errors like that though so I doubt it makes any difference.
- nandhinianand 6y agoBleh.. .English and it's weird grammar .. Sometimes I find it such a messed up language compared to my native tongue..... I guess it's the separation of modifiers and nouns that's part of the problem.
- nandhinianand 6y agoSeriously a downvote ?? for what?? ughh.... "bavula kappa" ==> frog in the well.. a metaphor for biased people(or people who live in a bubble).
- notum 6y agoThanks! I'm indeed not native :) In my own defense it "felt" like it was missing something. However I am confident there are many moons and just one Moon, our own. Also, the answer is 1.62kN to 4.8kN, I know Wolfram doesn't employ a language model or anything of a sorts, but with all the other NLP magic I've seen I sort of expected a valid answer.
- astrange 6y agoIt's because the name of the moon is "The Moon", not "Moon". I think SF writers sometimes pretend it's called "Luna" so it'll have a more interesting name.
- nicoburns 6y agoIt is "la luna" in spanish. So I don't think SF writers are pretending.
- narag 6y agoSpanish, that's right, but I guess they mean Latin.
- d0mine 6y agoIt is Luna (Луна) in Russian
- dotancohen 6y agoAnd other well-accepted sci-fi terms are of Slavic origin as well. Robot, for one, and that term actually transferred to colloquial language.
- ralphm 6y agoExcept that Luna in Slavic and Latin just share the same ancestor in PIE.
- dTal 6y agoThey pretend it will be called Luna (in English), because "The Moon" is a silly name when you routinely travel to lots of moons.
- snypher 6y agoIt's name is Moon, and it's referred to as "the moon".
- karmakaze 6y agoIt shouldn't really be that difficult. If it's capable of structuring "How heavy is _ on the moon?" The answer would be start out the same way looking for weight of _. It seems to me that these kinds of questions could be handled but require some adjustments or tuning more than we need fundamentally different approaches. We can't do everything at once so there's going to be simple things that don't work for quite a while.
