After being told years ago that her unruly son was the worst kid in his school, she says, "my tears come from the joy, at how far he has come."

Aggregating News Sources

Google News tackles this problem by using a technique called hierarchical agglomerative clustering. Basically, it puts news articles with similar phrasing together into distinct piles. It starts by analyzing the content of articles to find those that share keywords or key phrases; articles that have enough language in common are assumed to be covering similar topics. The articles in each pile are connected based on the strength of their similarity. To visualize these connections, imagine a treelike structure where the articles are the leaves. If we grab a branch from the tree, the many leaves on that branch are all similar articles—that is, articles about the same general event. Thus a group of leaves near one another on a branch of the tree constitutes a cluster.

one step closer to building artificial human brain

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 01:19:12 GMT

clipper's remarks: Markram believes that with the state of technology today, it is possible to build an entire rat's neocortex, which is the next phase of the Blue Brain project, due to begin next year. From there, it's cats, then monkeys and finally, a human brain.

Markram is banking on Moore's law holding steady, as a computer with the power of the human brain, using today's technology, would take up several football pitches and run up an electricity bill of $3bn a year. But by the time Markram gets around to mimicking a full human brain, computing will have moved on.

An ambitious project in Switzerland was scoffed at - but researchers have just succeeded in simulating a rat's brain in silicon

In a laboratory in Switzerland, a group of neuroscientists is developing a mammalian brain - in silicon. The researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in collaboration with IBM, have just completed the first phase of an ambitious project to reproduce a fully functioning brain on a supercomputer. By strange coincidence, their lab happens to lie on the same shores of Lake Geneva where Mary Shelley dreamt up her creation, Dr Frankenstein.

Some of Markram's peers said there simply wasn't enough data available to simulate a human brain. "There is no neuroscientist on the planet that has the authority to say we don't understand enough," says Markram. "We all know a tiny slice. Nobody even knows how much we know."

Three out of 10 of us either work in an educational institution or learn in one. Education eats up 8% of the Gross National Product. Keeping it all going is the biggest line item on city budgets. Whether the results are worth it sometimes makes teachers and parents--and administrators and politicians--raise their voices and point fingers.
