… We are smart, superbly trained, exceedingly experienced in "big-data", power computer users, and programmers in dozens of now unfortunately passe' programming languages. Let's collaborate! We can learn, then take back our rightful place in "inference generation" wherever it is ostensibly practiced today.

We meet almost every second and fourth Sundays every month to discuss AI topics such as: - Symbolic and SubSymbolic Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, and Artificial Intuition - Complexity theory, Model theory, Model Free Methods - Semantic Web, Ontology based systems - Robotics and Robot Ethics - Linguistics, Document understanding, and Semantics - Evolutionary Computation - GA and GP - Computer Consciousness, Novelty, and Creativity - Neuroscience, Connectome Algorithms …

Data Science Global is a non-profit organization dedicated bringing together the world's communities of data scientists, artists, technologists and visionaries. Our mission and group values are: Free dissemination of Data Science Free debate, discussion, and forum of ideas Building a community of Data Scientists Passionate about Data Science We are technology agnostic We are vendor independent We promote Open Source We welcome sponsors as long as they agree not to pitch their products.

People using and creating services where work is outsourced to large groups of casual workers.

The purpose of this group is to geek out on tech related to search engines. If you eat inverted indexes for breakfast with a side of tf-idf, this group is for you.

CLINE was established to encourage and facilitate the scientific exploration of the intersection of computation, language, information, complexity, and intelligence as they are influenced by, and influence, the process of evolution. Of particular interest to this group is the development of self-evolving systems. The assumption is that apex systems evolve toward greater and greater complexity-handling capacity. Some call this "artificial intelligence," but we have trouble with the term as it …

… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holism QUOTE: Holism (from ὂλος holos, a Greek word meaning all, whole, entire, total) , is the idea that natural systems (physical, biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) and their properties, should be viewed as wholes, not as collections of parts. This often includes the view that systems somehow function as wholes and that their functioning cannot be fully understood solely in terms of their component parts. END QUOTE. The third k …
