I say it is interesting. It's from the same guys from 'Watch a machine-learning system parse the grammatical structure of sentences'. AFAIK, here they are implementing automatic summarization, aided presumably by the accuracy

No doubt about it. My background is in the humanities! I started out working for a literature magazine and going to college to study philosophy. Then my brain wandered and decided that it wanted to learn about programming, machine translati

I definitely prefer non-fiction. I do make an effort to connect with people about current series/movies. But it is an effort , not something spontaneous. I feel bad sometimes that I can come across as too analytical. I'm not! I f

I confirmed that the official app does not give the optimum experience. I experimented with Disco Hue and Hue Pro. Hue Pro is good, and straight forward. I like the 'energize' and 'concentrate' settings, basically bright

I dunno... I find the notion of crying as a reaction to fictional (or even non-fictional) media... foreign. I find this notion foreign. (Man, just a goatee, almost 33). I do consume fiction, but I just don't 'suspend disbelief&#x2

I purchased my Philipps Hue system kinda impulsively (and somewhat drunkenly) because I was interested in the colors and the automation. I thought it was 'nice to have'. But I underestimated the overall effect it has in my mood an

How come there is no legislation that limits what software corporations are allowed to do? Just imagine if regular companies that deal with physical stuff were allowed to do the same. It's like if they broke into your house to replace

As long as changes and 'upgrades' correlate with net gains for investors and shareholders, it's all good. It's all that matters. We are faced with faceless super-agents, we can't realistically complain to anyone, no

Hey, yes! If reverse image search is possible now, it should be easy to automatically give credit to original creators, connect them with audiences and bypass blogspam!

I wish an image service existed that did some image recognition on the picture and provided you with relevant, but subtle 'Learn more about this thing' links.

For me it works this way: when I think I'm sad/depressed I ask if I'm just hungry. I can easily forget to eat, and this has consequences for my state of mind. I need to reassure myself that I'm not depressed, I just need

Could this be useful to monitor user sentiment and correlate it with further data from applications/media?

I agree. I feel this points towards the limits of linguistic-based technology. Relying just on text strings to find correlations/matches is not enough. What I wonder is: why don't recommendation engines go beyond and try to cluste

I think you're right when you say that a big sector of the population has been ignored. Normal, working families are asking 'hey what about us?', but why hasn't a corresponding political movement arisen to answer to thos

Yes, humans are also very hyped organisms. Lets dispel the notion that a defining trait of humans is producing or processing highly complex language patterns.

For us beginners, professionals from other areas that want to use Python as an additional tool, this situation is quite confusing. I'm doing Python MOOCs and most of them focus on Python 2. I don't have a massive code base to main

Even more strangely, I also installed pytesseract yesterday. I was having trouble getting the visible text from a project's web pages. I thought it'd be easy to screenshot the pages and OCR them. It didn't work, at least my f

"The time has come to hit the DELETE key." So, after all, he is using a computer metaphor? The author proceeds with an priori agenda, rather than looking at facts and arriving at conclusions. I can't find a spot where he trie

> Forgive me for this introduction to computing A further frustration might be with computers themselves. I don't see why an introduction/exposition to computing should be something that needs pardon.

Ok, it seems this step is done. Face recognition, check. What's next? Does somebody knows the state of voice recognition (in the sense of ID'ing someone by his/her voice)?

I can't affirm I know about patents, or why some company files a patent. I understand one or two things about translation technology though, and I'm trying to express why I think this is valuable for Google in the context of indus

Why is Google patenting this tech? It's cutting-edge machine translation. The rest of the industry is still talking about statistical machine translation. The sector is moving very fast. With the recent SyntaxNet release and neural mac

So far I can recall other two instances of machine learning going unfortunately wrong: that time when a Google image algorithm tagged a black person as 'gorilla'; when recently, Google translate translated "a man has to clean

This will not be of statistical significance and thus will not affect the performance of the system.
