Machine Intelligence Logo Collection Thing
December 29, 2016
The idea informing “The Current State of Machine Intelligence” is a good one. Take a sector of interest and identify the companies involved in that sector. Then cluster the companies by categories. The result, however, is another unreadable logo collection. Here’s an image from the write up:
The source of the image is Bloomberg Beta via O’Reilly and finally to Harrod’s Creek from the I Am Wire Web site. My hunch is that one is supposed to chase down Bloomberg Beta or one of the other intermediaries and enter into some type of relationship to get a readable version of the logo collection.
The natural language grouping under “stack” looks interesting, but I can’t read the names of the vendors. I thought Wired Magazine’s early experiments with low contrast, overly busy design would lead to legible information. Obviously I was once again off the mark. I found the inclusion of open source libraries interesting. Perhaps linking the libraries to the consulting firms specializing in these libraries would be helpful. But maybe the Bloomberg Beta wizards already did that, and I can figure out from the mosaic of logos and hippy dippy colors if the information is displayed.
I noted that “search” does not appear in the enterprise intelligence or the enterprise functions categories. I assume that the Beta team knows that one can’t have customer service without search. So much effort into a diagram which is impenetrable.
