Tonight I went to an orientation meeting for Chili Cookoff Judges. Yes, my wonderful wife Michelle signed me up for this role in a regional Chili Cookoff. The meeting had around twelve judges who will judge the competition. A couple who have been competing in Chili cookoffs for the last thirteen years. They also brought a batch of chili they made for the meeting. Let me tell...It was simply Yum!!! The spices were just right, the meat was exploding with flavor and it is probably the best chili I have ever eaten (until the competition).

“AI does not mean “self aware”. Real AI would allow an out come of a problem to be produced from known data and from the ability to fill in the blanks of data unknown. Real AI adds a “maybe”. John Pusinsky calls this "grey logic." We are already close, MIT Press publishes: Ontologies for Bioinformatics - the last chapter outlines Ken Baclawski's path to John's – “maybe” - "The Bayesian Web." An implemented "fuzzy AI" example of “semantically intelligent vocabulary filtering” is located at Boston Children’s Hospital’s “Center on Media and Child Health.” www.cmch.tv/research/. Scalable Ontology-Based NLP eliminates the need for “query structuring” by a user. O-BNLP excels with unrestricted length conversational style queries - lots of “context.” At CMCH, pre-indexed “abstractions” of content from ten different “social science” professions are filtered by the underlying SKIP technology and ordered more precisely when the seeker is using “jargon”, well-articulated community-unique vocabulary. Try some questions like: What is the impact of the media on adolescent sexual attitudes and behaviors? Or, Can parents prevent children from experiencing unwanted effects of violent television?
