Arrington, there is nothing like that… i think this comment was posted by some opponent of mine. I am owner of this blog (http://www.propakistani.com) and there is nothing like what this commenter said….!

Please consider it SPAM!

Thanks

Build a search engine based on natural language processing is really hard. I work as NLP researcher, on a project similar to PowerSet, but it’s at the first step (Mnemoo.com) and this is a research project (university).

For me NLP and AI is really closest, so we need to do more steps in AI before have NLP, and NLP-based search engine, that really work as intended.

What i dont understand is why there are more $$$ on some NLP project and search engine that use “old-school” NLP (and AI)… What future they have ? Instead, for me, what is looking more interesting are solutions based on biologically ispired artificial intelligence (and, of course, NLP) theory.

Not happy at what MSFT has been doing with Farecast and now Powerset … sadly the only correlation I can think of is MSFT is trying to put racing stripes on a Ford Escort :/

Until Powerset does something significant, they deserve to get slammed. Anyone can try something, actually succeeding is when you can get a positive story. Until then they are worse than Cuil if that’s possible.

This one is pretty simple really and kind of sums it up. I personally have had slightly better luck w/ Google search, but everyone at Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo are racing for a technological solution to the search war and what they simply don’t get is, it’s a branding problem.

People use Google because its Google (and in some cases because its NOT Microsoft). It isn’t geek sheek or any other kind of trendy to be Microsoft. The solution to Microsoft’s woes isn’t in better algorithms, its in better marketing and branding. And ol’ Jason here is a perfect case study…

I saw a press release (multiple postings) announcing Cognition’s comprehensive semantic map (”world’s largest semantic map”). It seems to me that one of the reasons that Powerset can’t yet provide much value to Microsoft is that it is missing this key component in their architecture. Perhaps they should consider licensing Cognition’s semantic map.

By the way, it’s funny that TechCrunch didn’t pick up this piece of news… everyone else did.

Wow…you find it better than Google, and then criticize it for being Microsoft, the sole reason not to use it.

Ever heard of change? Microsoft may have been creating shady products, but some of their newer products are better. I just don’t get how you can say it’s better than Google and then not use it.

Well, I really like this TechCrunch post because someone commented with a link about freshmoo and, on the heels of that, I found this nice song by Regina Spektor http://www.fres...tor_-_The_Call_(Narnia_Soundtrack).html

Hey retard, all wikipedia edits are viewable in the ‘history’ tab, so your teacher could confirm a previous version of the entry.

Get off the interwebs and go study. You might learn something and prevent further idiotic statements in the future (though I doubt it).

This sort of wikipedia fascination should soon give rise to a site facilitating “Wikipedia – The Game”, wherein your goal is to change the information on a page just for a brief but important period of time so that someone else using that information gets the wrong answer.

Example- Teacher assigns a research paper. Many of your classmates will go home and use live search (and thus wikipedia) to research it. You go home first thing and change the wikipedia entry so all of the data is wrong. All of your classmates turn in reports based on the wrong data. In the mean time, Wikipedia editors put the correct answer back. Now teacher flunks all the students foolish enough to rely on Microsoft search for the answer. Further, teacher also suspects mass cheating since how could so many could write the exact same *absurdly wrong* answer? Students claim they got answer from wikipedia but teacher looks and doesn’t see anything to support their claims, thus figures they are lying. So not only do your classmates get flunked, but they get suspended for cheating. You come off looking so smart and, more importantly, get to gloat after. +50 points.

Great fun all around!

Looks like this guy http://www.freshmoo.com will be better soon if MS don’t do something about PowerSet.

Hopw that MS really is gonna make it better. It is a nice service.
