Re: Slightly obvious flaw

Thirty years I was involved in an early natural language processing research project.

They used a children's book to be parsed by the algorithm and by a bunch of first year undergraduates.

On comparing the results there was much dismay that the algorithm seemed to suggest the book was all about mud (IIRC) and the undergrads thought it was all about dinosaurs.

Subsequent analysis suggested the dinosaurs caught the eye of the undergrads but that the majority topic of the book was about mud.

In another project an advertising agency was working on getting the unrevealed answers from huge corpus(es?) rather than the answers consumers thought researchers wanted to hear.

I mention all this because there is a possibility that the AI project is producing high quality but unacceptable results
