"AS VIV'S KNOWLEDGE GROWS, so will its understanding; its creators have designed it based on three principles they call its "pillars": it will be taught by the world, it will know more than it is taught, and it will learn something every day. As with other AI products, that teaching involves using sophisticated algorithms to interpret the language and behaviour of people using the system -- the more people use it, the smarter it gets." https://lnkd.in/eEpdNGn View in LinkedIn

VIV, UNLIMITED LEARNING. "Whereas Siri can only perform tasks that Apple engineers explicitly implement, this new program, they say, will be able to teach itself, giving it almost limitless capabilities. In time, they assert, their creation will be able to use your personal preferences and a near-infinite web of connections to answer almost any query and perform almost any function." https://lnkd.in/eEpdNGn View in LinkedIn

NUANCED VIV. "It will be able to understand ambiguous, abstract commands with complex conditionals -- for example you can ask it to buy the cheapest available item that meets some criteria and it will hunt it down and initiate a purchase for you. It will even know the social context of what to do in in certain cases such as knowing to call a taxi if you tell it "I'm drunk." http://www.dailytech.com/ExSiri+CEO+Poaches+Apple+to+Create+Viv+The+Global+Brain/article36387.htm View in LinkedIn

APPLE'S VIV. "Viv founders say you’ll access its artificial intelligence as a utility, the way you draw on electricity. Simply by speaking, you will connect to what they are calling “a global brain.” And that brain can help power a million different apps and devices." http://www.dailytech.com/ExSiri+CEO+Poaches+Apple+to+Create+Viv+The+Global+Brain/article36387.htm View in LinkedIn

THIRD GENERATION SIRI. "It’s called J.A.R.V.I.S., which is short for Just A Rather Very Intelligent Scheduler. It’s named after Tony Stark’s intelligent computer assistant in the Iron Man movies (and technically, I’m told, his human butler in the old comic books)." http://9to5mac.com/2015/04/27/siri-backend-mesos/ View in LinkedIn

SIRI FIRST GENERATION. "And she had a personality: if you asked her if there was a God, she would demur with deft wisdom. "My policy is the separation of spirit and silicon," she'd say." https://lnkd.in/eEpdNGn View in LinkedIn

RELATIONABLE SIRI. "Talk to Siri as you would to a friend" is how Apple's Siri site introduces the virtual personal assistant. https://lnkd.in/e7gBgD6 View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE this weekend continues on the L-form bacteria advocates' claims about a link between L-forms and chronic disease, namely, by the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D deficiency has been the subject of concern in the medical community, and we will look briefly at this topic. View in LinkedIn

SIRI. "Siri worked with voice recognition/dictation firm Nuance Communications Inc. (NUAN) to give the new app responsive voice recognition. Nuance was known for its Dragon Dictation PC software and its work on voice recognition in Ford Motor Comp.'s (F) SYNC and MyFord Touch voice recognition software. The Siri app launched in Feb. 2010 in the iTunes App Store." http://www.dailytech.com/ExSiri+CEO+Poaches+Apple+to+Create+Viv+The+Global+Brain/article36387.htm View in LinkedIn

ELECTRIC SMELL. "I’m working on ways to digitize our sense of smell. This will lead to an interface which can produce a range of smell sensations without any chemicals, hence allowing different types of smells to be sent through the internet." http://mixedrealitylab.org/ View in LinkedIn
