blodgett rather likes these

blodgett was reading this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/may/20/deepwater-methane-hydrates-bp-gulf

it says that people investigate these gases hopefully for fuel sources. blodgett considered this, and worried slightly that strategy of burning everything that can lay hands on may not be good long term…

blodgett wants its turn at designing creatures. but these ones are pretty good:

today blodgett read instructive article, its english so cute!
excerpt for you here from abstract:

“Most of them, however, are redundant or irrelevant, and their existence may straightly lead to poor performance of learning algorithms. Hence, it is a compelling requisition for their practical applications to choose most salient features.”

straightly! :D blodgett thinks it hasn’t read this outside of austen.

cannot find good free copy (this seems best but may be temporary: http://74.125.155.132/scholar?q=cache:XoEXJND40KkJ:scholar.google.com)

other favourite part:
“Unfortunately, no systematic study has been conducted on the reliability and effectiveness of these [technique]s and the multitudinous algorithms will bewilder practitioners.”

ohnoes! the poor bewildered practitioners :(

plus bonus points for casual reference to miners! read all about it eh
