Image Search: Getting Better and Better [Not Really]
Image search means having software which can figure out from a digital photo that a cow is a cow. In more complex photos, the software identifies what it can. I recall one demonstration which recognized me as a 20 year old criminal. Close but no cigar.
Phi Beta Iota: Short piece worth a full read. Baidu, Wolfam Alpha, and IBM's Watson are all full of crap and grossly mis-representing their capabilities. The idiocy of the people marketing this stuff appears to be exceeded only by the idiocy of the media people taking their nonsense at face value.
