“No one knows what the right algorithm is, but it gives us hope that if we can discover some crude approximation of whatever this algorithm is and implement it on a computer, that can help us make a lot of progress.” IfsKnowsGivingHelpingProgressComputerCrudeAlgorithmsApproximation Author:Andrew Ng
“Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.” IfsMeanFunNumbersBehindsInfluenceComputerVariousScoreLeapFollowersReally MeanMeasurementCalculationsAlgorithmsLeap Of FaithRetweet Author:Guy Kawasaki
“I remember that mathematicians were telling me in the 1960s that they would recognize computer science as a mature discipline when it had 1,000 deep algorithms. I think we've probably reached 500.” ThinkingRememberDisciplineComputerMatureMathematician1960sComputer ScienceAlgorithms Author:Donald Knuth
“Artificial intelligence uses a complex set of rules - algorithms - to get to a conclusion. A computer has to calculate its way through all those rules, and that takes a lot of processing. So AI works best when a small computer is using it on a small problem - your car's anti-lock brakes are based on AI. Or you need to use a giant computer on a big problem - like IBM using a room-size machine to compete against humans on Jeopardy in 2011.” WayNeedsHumansUseProblemBigsRoomsCarComputerMachinesComplexesSizeConclusionGiantsArtificial IntelligenceArtificialLocksBig ProblemsProcessingAlgorithmsBrakeJeopardyIbmSmall Problems Author:Kevin Maney
