Supercomputers make discoveries that scientists can't
- lutusp 12y agoA quote: "KnIT is a collaboration between IBM and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. It is the latest step into a weird world where autonomous machines make discoveries that are beyond scientists, simply by rifling more thoroughly through what we already know, and faster than any human can." This is a great breakthrough. The system should be let loose on psychology papers -- it could read everything published in the last 30 years and conclude, "These people can't agree on anything, even the meaning of common terms."
