The problem with building a complete solution is that it usually requires a lot of investment and domain specific knowledge. Having a better algorithm offsets a lot of it but I am not sure I could write a better CAD (computer assisted diagn

My algorithm won't replace A* as a path finding algorithm, and it wasn't designed to do swarming ( although maybe I can adapt it to swarming ). And as far as I know most of the rest is totally scripted... Again not exactly my field so I nee

My name is Avi Marcus, I am a 29 year old, semi retired (sold my previous startup ) hacker from Israel. Started programming at 8, started CS in college when I was 13. Flunked out because I was bored at 15. Always been interested in artifici

I have no idea how game AIs work, I thought most of it was totally scripted to just appear intelligent. I'll need to research the field a bit.

Ok missed that part in the contract... it was a bit long and in legalese. I'll tinker with it to fit it to the problem (different algorithm category, mine is best fitted for classification problems and the test is a clustering problem. The

It does take a few parameters but there is no reason why the same dataset would have to be uploaded every time you tweak a parameter, I can just store it and let you play with it until you are satisfied with the results. And again training

Very interesting idea, do you have any idea where I can get a dataset for it? I'd rather test it before I start pouring time & money to building an ad network first

Can't really get you a score that you'll be able to trust without submitting a result set, can't submit a result set without agreeing to publicize my algorithm... Pick a different test. One where you can do the verification without a 3rd pa

Training always takes a ton of time, even more so with my algorithm which is a bit more complex. But training is usually only done once and afterwards results can be generated very quickly.

Challenge me. Select a dataset send me the training data and I'll send you my results so you can verify it... I don't mind being tested.

Most AI application aren't realtime (although some of them in the chemical industry for example are ). A doctor doesn't care if his cancer diagnosis takes another 20 milliseconds so long as its a bit more accurate. And a bank trying to anal

Working with a medical company to improve the results of their CAD software. After it works (hopefully :) ) that can be a great way to drive the next client.

Thats an awesome idea. Integration is pretty simple, as you can use it almost as a drop in replacement for a backprop neural network.

Thats the problem disclosing the algorithm is something I'd rather avoid. I don't mind sharing it with a company for a licensing fee as long as I don't have to public domain it.

There are probably some AIs making money out there but they try to beat the market by examining a variety of commodities at once and discovering their interdependencies faster and better than humans can. I have far more hubris, I'm trying t

Thought about patenting it, but the entire idea of a patent is the ability to enforce a monopoly. I will never be able to inspect the insides of any commercial AI in the field, so as to allege an infringement on my patent.

This is a classic example of the saying "When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" To a guy with a spam filter, everything looks like mail to be filtered. (it was a cool & very interesting experiment non

I wonder if they could sell the reversed results to teenagers as an non-teen filter. Something that would guarantee they only see their "stupid" peers comments. No more articles about boring stuff, no more long winded intelligent debate jus

Notification is not very interesting, as it doesn't help you withstand the spike, there is little you can do once the spike started to help. But something that will help you withstand the spike now thats an interesting question, there are t

I don't think it will be a very accurate predictor of ability but it might send the message that you are not a standard company to work for, and make your company stand out in the applicants memory. I'd only consider doing it if game playin

Story of my life. Started CS in the age of 13 flunked out after 2 years. Been in & out of universities (mainly CS & philosophy) ever since, attracted to the ideal, disgusted by reality. All my life I abandoned most projects that too
