ROBOTICS DEVELOPER Google has revealed details of its large-scale machine learning system that has been in development for several years.
A system that could process large quantities of data would be able to help "immensely" in translation and information retrieval, and Google codenamed this project 'Seti', tipping a hat to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence as it "searches for signals in a large space."
It scales to massive data sets and is now one of the most broadly used Google classification systems. Google said that Seti's accuracy is "pretty decent" and that the size of the data sets that it can be used on is typically more than that seen in academia.
Simon Tong of Google Research said that there were mistakes made in the process of designing Seti and that it wasn't just accuracy that was important. Seti had to be easy to use and reliable.
He said, "Seti is typically used in places where a machine learning system will provide a significant improvement in accuracy over the existing system."
But he admitted that machine learning systems, although beneficial, don't work all the time. This is because it added "complexity, opacity and unpredictability to a system. In reality, simpler techniques are sometimes good enough for the task at hand."
"And in the long run, the extra effort that would have been spent integrating, maintaining and diagnosing issues with a live machine learning system could be spent on other ways of improving the system instead." µ
"Google has a fancy machine learning system .... Codenamed Seti, but it's not about aliens"
No, of course it is not. :-) But do they share a novel view for Worlds to Google?

Such is the Enigmatic Paradox, that in Reality which can be Virtually Controlled and Directed [Driven] with the Presentation/Placement of Intelligently Designed Information [Advanced and/or Artificial and/or Alienating Intelligence (and in CyberIntelAIgent NIRobotIQs, Transparently Shared NEUKlearer HyperRadioProActive Intellectual Property with Semantically Astute Analytical Algorithm Processing of Source Metadata/Core Ore Lode)] to Create another Beta Perception and Virtually Real Reality, which simply requires further Corroborating Information to Reinforce the Source Facts and Deliver an Energising Continuity, is the Simplest Possible Technique Always Far More than just Good Enough and Simply the Best for Every Task which is Attempted .... and No Task is then Impossible for what you are then Driving is the Great Game, and a Virtual Operating System Morphed into an ARG/AIMMORPG and Played out in Live Operational Virtual Environments/Earthed Nations.
That of course, makes Semantically Astute Analytical Algorithm Processing of Source Metadata/Core Ore Lode Intellectual Property, Proprietary, and Absolutely Priceless and Worth a Fortune to Any who could Use it in IT 42 Deliver the Future Virtually with AIResearch and dDevelopments in the Creative CyberSpace Command and Control of Computers and Communications. ....... AI @ ITs Work in Progress with C42 Quantum Control Systems.

Sorry Dan, the system ate my long response, had to run away a few times." ....... I used to hate it when it did that, whereas now there are always cloud copies to effortlessly re-post, if the gremlins are phishing for phorms/swarming information. :-)
