ABSTRACT

Berners-Lee's vision of the Semantic Web is hindered by a chicken-and-egg problem, which can be best solved by a bootstrapping method: creating enough structured data to motivate the development of applications. We believe that autonomously `Semantifying Wikipedia' is the best way to bootstrap. We choose Wikipedia as an initial data source, because it is comprehensive, high-quality, modestly sized, and contains enough manually-derived structure to bootstrap an autonomous, self-supervised process. In this talk I will present our success to date in this endeavor:

A novel approach for self-supervised learning of CRF information extractors

Automatic construction of a comprehensive ontology via statistical-relational learning

Vast improvements in extraction recall through shrinkage over this ontology and retraining

The stimulation of a virtuous feedback cycle between communal content creation and information extraction

We aim to construct a knowledge base of outstanding size to support inference, automatic question answering, faceted browsing, and potentially to bootstrap the Semantic Web.

First Sarah Palin supports the teaching of religion in public schools (creationism) which John McCain is NOT opposed to.

Then she can't name a single newspaper she's ever read.

And now she comes out against fruit fly research. Fruit flies are invaluable for all modern research on human diseases.

Guess she doesn't want to cure Autism, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Alzheimer's, Cancer...

Oh and let's not forget the hockey mom with a $150,000 wardrobe and Joe the plumber who's a total fraud.

The entire McCain campaign is built on lies and fear. They are pro-Jesus and anti-Science, but yet they go to the doctor when they are sick instead of staying home and praying. Why, because they know better and use these simple lies to sway the ignorant masses.

ABSTRACT

This presentation is about a potential shortcut to artificial intelligence by trading mind-design for world-design using artificial evolution. Evolutionary algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU cycles while our understanding of intelligence is almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios. This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt to evolve artificial intelligence and further the Singularity.

Polyworld is the brain child of Apple Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who remains the primary developer of Polyworld:

Ragheb Alama - راغب علامة

Ragheb Alama is the diamond voice of The Arab world. His career started since the time he appeared on National Lebanese Program "Studio El Phan" in 1980. The director of the National Lebanese TV program saw the intelligence in his eyes and his voice. Ragheb spoke with his brother, Khodr Alama to join him in his career. Khodr Alama was a university student in Italy. He came back from Italy to Lebanon to support Ragheb's journey of success. Ragehb Alama composed many songs. He knew exactly the strength of his voice. Based upon that he composed many successful songs such as, "Ya rait Fie' Khabiha", "Ragheb b Orbik", and "Albi Eshiqha". These songs boosted his ranking in the Arab music chart up high to be on the top of the Arab singers and the most wanted in the music stores. Afterwards, Ragheb's biggest hits such as, Mughram ya Lail, Ya Hayatee, Tawam Rouhi, Saharouni Elail, Tab Leh, and el Hob El Kibeer, made him a real serious business in the Arab World. All big music production companies were after him as a hot to get to sign a contract with them. Ragheb's biggest belief in his career is "No To Monopolize Ragheb Alama or any Music Artist". He wanted to be the star on all TV stations. As all people feel so delighted to see him on TV, he wanted to be for them as a light most amusing artist for them. His video clips started at his early career. Officially his first video clip in the Arab World was "Albi Eshiqha". This video was the first video clip to be shot in a professional way in the Arab World. That video opened a big door for other singers to mimic his way of success later. In 1997, Ragheb got married to Ms. Jihan Al-Ali. He had two boys, Khaled and Louay. Ragheb is a family oriented. He baby-sits his two boys when his wife is abroad for her business. Ragheb is so close to his children and treats them as they are his best friends. His Beliefs are many, but his main ones are; Peace for the whole world and supporting the charities.. Ragheb likes to travel and shop. He says he likes to shop because it's an art to see how these products and merchandises are presented in the stores. Ragheb likes to taste the art in all its phases. He likes to read specially before going to sleep. His Latest Albums were "Saharoni Ellail", "Tab Leh", and "El Hob El Kibeer". And now Ba'sha'ak in 2008.

Broadcast in 2003, Walking with Cavemen combined special effects with the latest scientific theories, to show us what it really means to be human. The story traces the epic saga of human evolution, following our ancestors from the period a few million years ago when they first walked upright, through their discovery of tools and fire, to that watershed moment when their cave paintings signaled that these primitives were truly human.

These OG MACKS were Clean and Nice with the hands too. This was a time when we were intelligent enough to separate film fantasy and fiction from real life. A great film for a lazy summer afternoon. look out sorpranos, go run and hide scareface. Don Corleone better be glad he did not have to deal with these brothers. ENJOY!!!!

World Day Against Child Labour (12 June 2008)


"It is only education which provides a weapon; a hand with power and a mind with intelligence to break the vicious circle of exploitation and injustice"
-- Kailash Satyarthi, Chairperson, Global March Against Child Labour

http://www.ilo.org/global/lang--en/index.htm

Citing data indicating that many of the estimated 75 million children lacking primary schooling start working at an early age, the International Labour Office (ILO) said today that education was critical to breaking the cycle of child labour and poverty as well as eradicating child labour in its worst forms by 2016.

The future belongs to those with a vision to shape it. The ILO and its partners stand for a world where no girl or boy is forced to work at the expense of their health and development or their future prospects of decent work. A future without child labour is at last within reach. Significant progress is being made worldwide in combating child labour. The latest global estimates of trends reinforce this message of hope. However, a strong and sustained global movement is needed to provide the extra push towards eliminating the scourge of child labour. For more information see the Global Report The end of child labour: Within reach. (ILO, 2006)
