Hello all, I asked a question similar to this one a couple of weeks ago, but I did not ask the question correctly. So I am re-asking here the question with more details and I would like to get a more AI oriented answer. I have a list representing products which are more or less the same. For instance, in the list below, they are all S...
It's well known that Bayesian classifiers are an effective way to filter spam. These can be fairly concise (our one is only a few hundred LoC) but all core code needs to be written up-front before you get any results at all. However, the TDD approach mandates that only the minimum amount of code to pass a test can be written, so given t...
Let's say you have access to an email account with the history of received emails from the last years (~10k emails) classified into 2 groups genuine email spam How would you approach the task of creating a neural network solution that could be used for spam detection - basically classifying any email either as spam or not spam? Let'...
I'm working on building intelligence around link propagation, and because I need to deal with many short URL services where a reverse-lookup from an exact URL address is required, I need to be able to resolve multiple approximate versions of the same URL. An example would be a URL like http://www.example.com?ref=affil&hl=en&ct=0...
What are some C/c++ Machine learning libraries that supports clustering of multi dimensional data? (for example K-Means) So far I have come across SGI MLC++ http://www.sgi.com/tech/mlc/ OpenCV MLL I am tempted to roll-my-own, but I am sure pre-existing ones are far better performance optimized with more eyes on code. ...
Greetings I may have imagined this but does anyone know if Last.fm previously used some form of open source project to perform analysis on music to determine similar music. As its now moved to a pay version I'd like to make something which can add known music to my playlist. (I hate scanning my computer for similar music manually) F...
I think that AI might be a precious tool in the developer's toolbox, and I'd like to know more about this field hoping that it will make my life easier as a developer. Can you recommend some classics, books, links, essays, authors, reading, and bloggers? What is the Code Complete of the AI field ? ...
Does anyone know where I can find some sample codes about the NN Back propagation for XOR, that I can also test the system after it was trained? Preferably in C++ or MATLAB. ...
To get more into django programming I'm planning to create a google maps mashup, which finds routes from A to B, but avoids streets/junctions that cross public surveillance cameras' perspectives. Therfore I will create a database (probably Postgres based, because of its GIS capabilities) containing surveillance type (surveillance camer...
Related to my previous question, is there some realistic chance to extract surveillance camera positions out of google streetview pictures by means of computer vision algorithms? I'm no expert in that area. But it should be easier than face detection and the like. ...
I've been interested in machine learning and computer vision for a while, so I've decided to attempt to build a simple Optical Character Recognition demo in C#. I'm looking for a description of some common OCR algorithms and how I would go about implementing them in C#. It's a learning exercise so I'm not looking for an OCR library. ...
Behind the tables and tables of raw data, how does Wolfram Alpha work? I imagine there are various artificial intelligence mechanisms driving the site but I can't fathom how anyone would put something like this together. Are there any explanations that would help a programmer understand how something like this is created? Does the knowl...
Please help me understand the difference between a Generative and Discriminative Algorithm keeping in mind that I am just a beginner. ...
I've been thrust into a situation where I need to know something about Machine Learning. Is there a language or perhaps a reasonable tutorial that breaks this subject matter in gently? I'm not a math guy, so it's got to start from a pretty basic level. ...
Google has suggestion come up when you make a typo entry,how do they do it? ...
Can anyone suggest a good AI library written in C#? I specifically want to use it for ILP so first order logic support is a must. ...
In the picture below you can see a learning algorithm trying to learn to produce a desired output (the red line). The learning algorithm is similar to a backward error propagation neural network. The "learning rate" is a value that controls the size of the adjustments made during the training process. If the learning rate is too high,...
In the old days of gaming, I'm sure simple switch/case statements (in a sense) would have done just fine for most of the game "AI." However, as games have become increasing complex, especially at the 3d leap, more complex algorithms are needed. My question is, are actual machine learning algorithms (like reinforcement learning) used in g...
I'm trying to estimate, for back-of-the-napkin calculation purposes, how many different device drivers are available for Windows. I'm trying to understand what it might take in terms of size of collected data and processing power what would be required to do some statistical analysis of drivers. Anybody have any references? Ideas? At...
Kernel-based classifier usually requires O(n^3) training time because of the inner-product computation between two instances. To speed up the training, inner-product values can be pre-computed and stored in a two-dimensional array. However when the no. of instances is very large, say over 100,000, there will not be sufficient memory to d...
