Produce a non- living =ystem that can be put into an environment for a while and --- 1. =e able to discriminate language from noise. . prize . a 1 dollar =ill signed by Noam and 100k. What is the system allowed to have when it starts? We would need to =efine the environment, for instance text based or audio, or =ovies/youtube. Once the contestants know the environment, they can use =tandard machine learning methods to discern entropy in the signal, and =eparate language-like noise from non language-like noise. Google does =his pretty well, and automatically (but not perfectly) sub-title videos =n a number of languages. I imagine you want to go beyond that? > . 2. be able to discriminate coherent sentences from non ( we =rovide 10 test sentences ). I suspect that this is harder, Noam might point out that a lot of =rammatically well-formed sentences used in politics are not coherent =-) > prize a 10 dollar signed Chomsky bill , and 500k. 3. a language =earning module. Build a system that is able to learn a new language without hand-coding, =nd translate sentences from this language into English and back? =xcellent! > 20 dollar bill signed and 1 million, 4. a sense making module that =an understand meaning inference. . etc. the non recommendation =ecommendation. . ie the student has a nice family. etc. a 100 rollar signed bill and 10 million dollars. ? --- > > lets also do a minsky challenge and if you want martin a NOVAK =hallenge. Yes! Let us ask Marvin and Martin about the biggest unsolved problems in =heir field. EFTA_R1_02140020 EFTA02714384
