This is amusing. I did my undergraduate thesis on expanding my professors work on block truncation coding for image compression and this is the image that was used. I always figured my prof used it because it was a pretty woman and I even

Two reasons come to mind, Even a 5% error rate is unacceptable. People may take offense to machine tag errors. Second, facebook probably likes the time commitment people make to tagging photos and adding friends in order to tag them to the

Justin TV's legit content consists of video game streams and young girls life casting. A vast majority is pirated material. If you look at entertainment, every single one is pirated on the first page(by viewers). They are responsive to ta

I worked at a sleep company up until 2008 and there are a lot of startups and big sleep companies getting into lowcost devices that a customer would own or rent instead of going into a sleep lab. They would do more diagnosis or pre-diagno

What is their background? If they have none as you say, it is going to be unlikely. You mentioned reading the stanford course, there are also video lectures: http://see.stanford.edu/see/lecturelist.aspx?coll=63480b48-8... If they decide t

The article said 6.5 million uniques. The URL you gave claims 150k. I have always been confused by the various rankings but that seems a big difference.

This sounds bazaar. So its not possible to access the audio in and out in android? It is 2am and I should be sleeping so maybe I read it wrong. Android was on my to try list but this is a showstopper. Thanks for saving me some time.

Not like either except for the speech component. Yours can be done using the speech open src sft but the accuracy will be bad unless you buy or make a good acoustic model. Very painful.

This is a big reason why speech recognition works. You have a list of probabilities of sequence of words occuring(language model) and it decides on the next word based on the last few previous words. So if you have the word Super, odds are

Agreed. Plus, I doubt the companies using Numenta's sdk want it advertised that they are using it. If you have not tried their sdk, I highly recommend it. It is open source(not free though). You can play around with it for free but if you
