AI - My Thoughts - 2

So one of the points I pointed in the previous post was “We need a single point of entry for all the data which is flowing from you to the outside world”.

 

Consider Google, which provides the following

-          they have a Orkut, social networking site, thru which they have a list of your close friends (It would be pretty simple to ask you how you know that person), so they understand what kind of relationship you have with your friends.

-          they provide you a mail service, so they know whom you contact most/least often.

-          They have your chat (talk), so they know whom you communicate instantly with. (this + the social networking site’s scrap feature)

-          The OpenSocial was initiated which allowed sharing friends info (of course it could not be replicated) across members of the OpenSocial forum.

-          They have provided an RSS reader, so they know what you read. (some kind of replacement for newspapers)

-          They know what your friends read since your friends also match the above criteria.

-          They know what kind of advertisements interests you.

 

So what you see over here is a “search company” which would be able to “on demand” replicate you. J After the other AI probs are cracked i.e..

 

And so now you understand why I want to  get into google!!!!!

 

Note:

1.       Nowhere in my previous blog post or this blog post do I say that google is using this data.

2.       As per my knowledge, Google is currently not using this data.

3.       I am very sure it will never deny a user his/her privacy by using this data in the future also.

4.       Do not make any misassumptions or crib about this post

 

 

Hopefully I get time tomorrow morn to post this to my blog. ZZZZZZzzzzz…

The fight is in the open

Been busy lately and so have not managed to post for quite long. But I just had to post this. This post is dedicated to all persons who dont know anything about the fight between MS and Google: Check out the links starting from: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5875433.html?tag=nl.e589 There are more links as you get thru the article. Be sure to read those too. And just as a side-note: Check out " Atlas ". These are client side and server side components, which easily (??) enable you to make Web calls. This is done by encapsulating AJAX. (please dont insult by telling me that you dont know what that is).

Finally decided

I have been having these various itch since quite some time. Both about what i am doing here (where i work) and what am i meant to do. Finally, i have decided "I need a job change". I guess IT services industry was never meant to be the right industry for me. Don't get me wrong there, it's not that i wanna quit because i am not getting any interesting work, it's just that I have ideas about life which does not match with what my company is doing. (As amatter of fact, they have some really beautiful concepts which are great to work on). But i have believed web to be the future and now i have started realising that personal dreams do become quite a pain in the neck, when they are ignoired. Huh.... now that i put it on a log, i feel much better. Back to work...

Movies common for 2 actors/actresses

One question: Which all movies did both George Clooney and Brad Pitt act in? Am sure you would be going to google. And what do you do after that? See all the links, and check each and every page, trying to find the common movies. Now why could the computer not do this? Why are you spending 5 minutes trying to find this out, when you should be able to request the computer to do this..... Enter Semantic search, a mechanism where you can query data for relationships which the human mind understands, and secondly the computer understands. There are many places where they are trying to build this semantic search. I build a small application which uses freebase . And built an application where you can provide the names of 2 actors/actresses and find the movies both worked on. Check the page http://www.nlighten.in/CommonMovies.html . Details about freebase: Freebase uses the databases provided by Wikipedia and multiple other providers, and provide all the data in OOP ...
