Google to Developers: Here’s How to Stop Making Dumb Chatbots.

Generally, computers are useless at holding a conversation. They just take things a bit too literally. But Google is teaching computers how to make sense of the vagaries of human speech and text.

Starting today, Google is opening up those algorithms to outside software developers. The tools released will help programmers build language-based apps and services that are less prone to annoying misunderstandings than many of today’s chatbots. And they should help get developers hooked on the powerful machine-learning techniques Google is honing.

Google’s own mastery of grammar and syntax helps the company deliver more accurate search results, and it will be increasingly important as more of its devices and services come to depend on voice control.

Informe COTEC 2015: La reciente recuperación económica no llega a la ciencia.

La reciente recuperación económica no llega a la ciencia. Esa es la principal conclusión que se puede extraer del último informe sobre la situación de la ciencia y la innovación en España elaborado por la Fundación Cotec. En un evento celebrado esta mañana en la antigua fábrica de ascensores Boeticher, en el distrito madrileño de Villaverde, Cristina Garmendia, presidenta de la fundación, señalaba que pese al crecimiento del PIB español, el gasto en I+D ejecutado en España sigue descendiendo: en 2014 fue de 12.821 millones de euros, lo que supone una caída del 1,5% respecto a 2013.

Google’s Algorithms Decode Language like a Trained Linguist.

Google’s algorithms can now parse the structure and meaning of simple language as expertly as a trained linguist. This mastery of grammar and syntax helps the company deliver more accurate search results, and it will be increasingly important as more of its devices and services come to depend on voice control.

Starting today, Google is opening up those algorithms to outside software developers. The tools released will help programmers build language-based apps and services that are less prone to annoying misunderstandings than many of today’s chatbots. And it should help get developers hooked on the powerful machine-learning techniques Google is honing.

Schoold Uses Machine Learning to Do Your College Scholarship Hunt.

Now that high school seniors have made the fateful choice of a college to attend in the fall, their parents are free to pull out tufts of hair as they figure out how to pay for it.
