The Computerized Art Critic

The Computerized Art Critic 06/14/2004 03:33 AM
Well, it's now been established that computers can, in certain situations, beat the very best chess players in the world. Now, they're moving on to another arena previously held onto by an elite group of human experts: determining the authenticity of a piece of artwork. New computer systems are being developed (similar to computerized chess systems) that use their ability to comprehend thousands of different attributes among many different paintings to come up with information about what makes certain paintings more or less likely to be by a certain artist. Of course, it sounds like most people involved still don't want these systems to be coming out with a final vote - but, rather are focused on using them to suggest places for further exploration (such as pointing out a specific difference in features between a certain painting and others by the same artist). This may have something to do with an increasingly litigious art world, where lawsuits have been filed by painting owners who weren't happy to have someone suggest the painting they owned was not by the person they thought it was. Still, this raises the same question we asked a few weeks ago in a post about selling fraudulent artwork on eBay: shouldn't a painting be judged on its quality, rather than who created it?

Computerized Discouragement

Computerized Discouragement 06/01/2004 02:43 AM
In a great followup to recent stories about autom ating the hiring process and autom ating the matchmaking process, this writer is wondering if such technologies can't be used to make personalization systems better match your personality and your mood. He points to a study that shows that, in a game where a computer gives users encouraging words ("You can do it!"), players do better than one where it gives discouraging words - and worries that companies are going to misinterpret the results to mean that we're always going to be getting annoyingly bland and sickly sweet "encouragement" from our computers ("You can complete this letter! Your computer believes in you!"). For many people, this sort of "encouragement" gets to be pretty damn annoying, pretty damn fast. So, instead of focusing on how to find a better job or a better date, it would be great if such personalization technology could be used to figure out that the last thing a person wants to hear after struggling through some frustrating operation on their computer is: "The problem will soon be happily over."

Everything Needs Tech Support 04/12/2005 02:01 PM
It's no secret that more and more stuff around us every day is getting computerized, but how that's going to impact our everyday lives doesn't always get that much attention. One of the more interesting elements of an increasingly high tech society is that we're going to need a lot more tech support -- and it's not going to be acceptable to wait 45 minutes on hold (with crappy hold music) to talk to someone overseas who doesn't understand the problem and can't do anything to help. Business Week is talking about the old Maytag repair guy, and how appliances are going high tech in a big way. Of course, the old Maytag repair guy isn't going to be able to fix your washing machine when its software crashes -- and with our chang ing views on quality, you can be pretty sure that today's washing machines won't last as long as the ones you bought a few decades ago. So is it any surprise that tech companies are gearing up to get into spaces that might seem a little out of place for them? IBM announced today an automotiv e diagnostics solution to help deal with increasingly computerized cars. What IBM has realized is that, increasingly, cars are computers -- and if they're 100% focused on being in the IT services business, they need to go where computers are going. So, perhaps it's only a matter of time before you end up calling IBM to come service your washing machine as well. Actually, hopefully, the washing machine will do the calling itself.

NYC Subway Gets a Computerized Facelift
(AP) 04/10/2005 05:37 PM
AP - A subway train rattles halfway into Union Square station in Manhattan and shudders to a halt. Over a crackle of static, a voice on the PA system announces congestion ahead and says it will be several minutes before service resumes. Trapped commuters sigh and glance at their watches impatiently. Some simply close their eyes in resignation. This sort of thing — and much worse — has been happening quite a lot lately. So it's no surprise that transit snafu-weary New Yorkers are greeting with ambivalence this month's launch of fully computer-automated trains on a 22-mile line that intersects Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Musicians Up In Arms Again Over
Computerized Orchestra 04/14/2004 02:26 PM
There was a big fuss last year when some Broadway musicals looked into replacing their human orchestra with a "virtual orchestra." Musicians went on strike, and shows went off the stage for a while. Now, that same response is happening again for an off-Broadway musical that is trying to use a virtual orchestra as well. Of course, the difference here, though, is that the musical is using the exact same number of musicians whether it's using the virtual orchestra or not.
