slangevi: Video: Googles Speech Recognition technology: http://tinyurl.com/5ggg8e not said if they are using Hidden Markov Models.

slangevi: My university (USC) is opening an on campus Apple store! A survey shows that 20% of students, faculty, and staff use Macs.

slangevi: Ah Ha! Found interesting discussions about Paul Grahams "bayesian" spam filter here: http://tinyurl.com/hrj4q and http://tinyurl.com/1wyg

slangevi: Here is the link: http://paulgraham.com/spam.html I've re-read it a couple times and I don't see how it's Bayesian...

slangevi: Just read Paul Graham's "A Plan for Spam" which is popular for promoting Bayesian spam filtering, but it's not a Bayesian classifier! Odd.

slangevi: One last thought: What else can Google use their voice recog for? Search audio in video or audio files.

slangevi: The achilles heel of data mining has always been getting the data. Google used UN transcribed docs to build their language translator.

slangevi: Looks like all that voice data collected with GOOG411 is really paying off for building a voice recog system. http://tinyurl.com/6ecvwk

slangevi: Always so liberating doing a Getting Things Done brain dump into your trusted system.

slangevi: Interesting: Half-life2 E2 runs better under CrossOver Games than under Bootcamp on an older MacBook.

slangevi: I decided on a data mining project for my course: data mining your RSS feeds to filter relevant (interesting) items. Should be interesting.

slangevi: Why aren't all research papers free to download? So much for an open research community.

slangevi: All Codeweavers software is free for today only: http://lameduck.codeweavers.com

slangevi: Trying to find idea for final project in a data mining class I'm taking.

slangevi: Google Earth for the iPhone is pretty damn cool.

slangevi: @ewise that might make a good futures market... @emd buys a new macbook is up 20 points!

slangevi: @emd would of they fall due to passing out or having a stroke and don't make a sound?

slangevi: @emd The gist: detect when a person falls using multiple sensors and aggregate the info to get a more accurate prediction. :)

slangevi: Working on a new research paper on elderly fall detection using bayesian sensor fusion in a multi-agent environment. Very early draft stage.

slangevi: First iphone drop! It survived fine.
