Quotation of the Day for October 23, 2010



"NELL's human handlers had to tell NELL that Klingon is not an ethnic group, despite the fact that many earthlings think it is.

"At the moment NELL thinks that the First Amendment is a musical instrument, the Second Amendment is a 'hobby,' and is completely unwilling to admit to any knowledge of the fifth amendment at all. A bit like the recording industry and most lawmakers in the US."

- Nick Farrell, discussing the capabilities of Carnegie Mellon University's Never Ending Language Learner (NELL), a computer that reads and learns from the internet.
