Google Shows Some Smart Software Research
August 21, 2016
If you track Google’s research activities, you may know that papers delivered at conferences become tough to tough to locate. A pointer may return a dead link or a page which asks the intrepid researcher to pay for a copy of the document. Other papers just disappear due to the magic of logical management decisions.
For Google’s latest in smart software, navigate to “ACL 2016 & Research at Google.” The day I visited the site, papers could be downloaded for free. These finely honed Googlist write ups do not have dates and some of the bibliographic details one had to provide in high school, but, hey, you have the write ups.
Google explains that it is a leader in natural language processing. Never mind that MIT’s Technology Review pointed out in “AI’s Language Problem” that some of the nifty methods in use today are not ready for the big show. If one says something, that something is true, right?
