language recognition. patterns from data, not text from data
http://longtailworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/trying-out-proximic-googles-potential.html
Yesterday, I read Merc's article about German startup called Proximic, and I found its 'pattern proximity' technology quite intriguing, especially because I write in Japanese.
While Google looks at the words on a Web page, Proximic looks for patterns of characters. That means Proximic's approach is completely language-independent, so it works as well with German and Chinese as it does with English. - "Tiny start-up rival to Google?" -SJ Mercury News
bilingual article, dude. don't deny the fact that some people swing in various ways.
i find that the possibilities give me the horn.
not sure how they exactly do this (if i knew, i would be in the it biz, mate), but is this a form of data modelling?
it does make sense to me, and i've just installed the plugin. for something that has just started, it looks pretty interesting.
so, the next time i have to find that uber rare akg d30 microphone from some desolate radio station in russia (and yes, i did find one, no, a rockstar beat me with his $. boys like to collect baseball cards, by any means necessary)
