Lofty goal - Computers People Can Talk With. Day Is Nearer When Devices Understand
http ://www.philly.com/mld/philly/living/health/7908331.htm

Lofty goal - Computers people can talk with. Day is nearer when devices understand. By Robert S. Boyd. Philadelphia Inquirer. "Reading aloud is the simplest challenge in the 40-year struggle to teach human language to computers. Other computer-language skills are more complicated. They include taking dictation, responding to questions or commands, identifying a speaker, translating languages, and carrying on a modestly intelligent conversation on a limited subject, such as what's at the movies. The greatest challenge is to get a computer to 'understand' natural language and respond appropriately. The National Science Foundation is soliciting proposals for new research to enable people to 'address a computer at any time and any place at least as effectively as if they were addressing another person.' The goal is to make computers 'behave more like humans, so that humans don't have to adapt to a machine using a mouse and a keyboard, but instead the machine adapts to the human,' said James Glass at the Laboratory for Spoken Language Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ... Getting a computer to understand is harder than getting one to talk. Nevertheless, voice-recognition programs are in common use today by telephone companies, airlines, and business customer-service desks."

Le cinema du Paris: let the lofty
sextape critiques commence!

Le cinema du Paris: let the lofty
sextape critiques commence! 11/13/2003 06:33 PM
A review of the oh-so-48-hours-ago PHST (Paris Hilton Sex Tape), on "Noted Film Critic and Swede" Bergmann Endresson's blog. What's next, a tete-a-tete with James Lipton? A three-way with Roger Ebert? A new cinematic school of doggy-style Dogme?

The cold black of night is penetrated by an alien tone, played upon an inhuman scale. It pierces through the quiet slumber that is the inheritance of honest men.

As when Psyche dripped her voyeur wax upon the forbidden face of love, a sprightly nymph stirs, and all is a flutter:

"Let me get my phone."

Paris Hilton's first line in this magnificent post modern statement is more conditioned response than free will. Like Pavlov's doggy, she is powerless to resist the cold intrusion of the technological sprawl that devours countrysides, bathrooms and budoirs with the same unyielding hunger. McLuhan promised us a Global Village, but nowhere did he say that it would be a tax haven, and on this evening the throbbing circuitry of a connected world demands the sacrifice of a media virgin. But she is not without an advisor. In this film Ms. Hilton acts opposite Rick Solomon, media mogul, giver of corporal knowledge. Yet he is more, and in a poignant moment of self-loathing which defines the entire encounter, Solomon blasphemes the very technology upon which he has built his empire:

"Fuck your phone."
