Hearing them explain how hard it is for a computer to understand the little nuances of speech was interesting. They said at one point humans who were on Jeopardy usually answered the questions correctly 90–95% of the time. Wilson was getting 10–15% correct. I guess it's something I would have figured a computer would kill a person at. But obviously there is much more involved. <br /> <br /> I would love to work on projects like that. I think working on something cutting edge or something really hard would be very rewarding. You wouldn't have any constraints as long as you could find a way to get the computer to cooperate. <br /> <br /> And something that I think about a lot is binary. How a computer only speaks in on or off and is able to do what it does is flat out unbelievable. </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40101.80&return_msg=40101.79" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40101.80"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40101_81"></a><div class="message" id="message_40101_81"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time"> 6 Dec 2012 09:46</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Dec 2012 09:50"></span></span> <span class="message_count">81 of 85</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.81">40101.81</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.79#a40101_80" target="_self">40101.80</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Research is fun, if you've got enough money.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40101.81&return_msg=40101.79" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40101.81"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40101_82"></a><div class="message" id="message_40101_82"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Ken (SHIELDSIT)<span class="message_time"> 6 Dec 2012 09:50</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Dec 2012 09:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">82 of 85</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.82">40101.82</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.79#a40101_81" target="_self">40101.81</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Ah yeah that would also be a big part of the equation! </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40101.82&return_msg=40101.79" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40101.82"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40101_83"></a><div class="message" id="message_40101_83"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Chris (CHRISSS)<span class="message_time"> 6 Dec 2012 11:32</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 6 Dec 2012 11:34"></span></span> <span class="message_count">83 of 85</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.83">40101.83</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40101.79#a40101_80" target="_self">40101.80</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I was watching Dara O Brian's Science Club last night, and episode of the brain.

Interesting, true, and you don't get one without the other (dark days aside), but I could go off on all sorts of wasted investigations if I assumed that it was a useful observation in answering the question.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40101.85&return_msg=40101.79" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40101.85"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
