- vitovito 14y agoGordon Bell's testbed was outstripped by the possible data collection years ago, and he's admitted he rarely did anything with his archives after collecting what he did, serving more as a reference library for others. That Samsung patent sure is interesting, though. The US filing of March 31, 2012 is interesting, too, as I started work on something similar in February (I see their foreign patents are from last year). You might be interested in this (rather large, dated, from May) slide deck PDF of what I'm looking into: http://s3.amazonaws.com/vitorio/Automated%20Storytelling%20May%202012.pdf http://s3.amazonaws.com/vitorio/Automated%20Storytelling%20M... Feel free to contact me, links are in my profile.
- crucialfelix 14y agoCool, the slide deck was interesting. I saved your links. The Samsung thing sounds like it could just choose a likely significant event and make it into a story. it could be extremely lame and unworthy of a patent. it could be entirely as combat move against apple.
