Dr. Peter NorvigDirector of Research
Google, Inc.Title: "Theorizing from Data: Avoiding the Capital Mistake" Abstract: "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's words from 1891 remain true today. Researchers in computational linguistics and information retrieval now have a million times more data than was available 30 years ago. This talk explores what this data can do for problems in language understanding, translation, information extraction, and inference, and extrapolates to what more data may bring in the future.Biography: Peter Norvig is the Director of Research at. He is a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and co-author of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, the leading textbook in the field. Previously he was head of Computational Sciences at NASA and a faculty member at USC and Berkeley.Hosted by: Prof. Ram NevatiaLocation: Seaver Science Library (SSL) - 150
