What I'm reading
The Pirate book - edited by Nicolas Maigret & Maria Roszkowska Beyond Representation: The Figure of the Pirate - by Lawrence Liang
What I'm researching
Research questions: If computers made book synopses, or were in charge of categorizing books using the Dewey Decimal Classification, how would they weigh up against humans in making these decisions?
Markov Chains
Markov chains are used to create statistical models of the sequences of letters in a text. Markov chains are now widely used in speech recognition, handwriting recognition, information retrieval, data compression, and spam filtering.
