We can always have fun arguing about whose algorithms are better but the essence of what is being delivered is the same.
FORBES: Links 29 Nov: Google Keeps Its Word, Microsoft Attacks
Munjal Shah, a Google product manager, said the company worked with about 100 fashion taste-makers such as celebrities, stylists, and designers to pick out clothing they like and teach Google's machine-learning algorithms about their style and tastes.
Google says the modifications to its algorithms impact about 12% of U.S.-based search queries, and further changes rolled out earlier this month affect an additional 2%.
When Gilani and I sat down a few weeks ago to discuss the current state of the markets, it was an interesting back and forth about the inroads of high frequency trading and algorithms.
FORBES: Regulators And Traders Fail To Keep Pace In High Frequency Markets
Mr. STEVE CAIN (President, Forensic Tape Analysis, Inc.): It's based probably on two issues: new equipment that we don't know about, or perhaps new procedures, new algorithms, new mathematical ways of analyzing a person's voice that are not known to the real forensic world.
Carnegie Mellon, for its part, has added about 300, 000 new lines of code to its algorithms since 2005.
Much of the talk in the digital marketing industry today is about how search engines like Google are continually updating their algorithms to provide the most relevant search results and content possible.
He described "an age of algorithms" where connected sensors digitised all kinds of data about an individual's health and daily activities, and then provided them with useful material.
Why not be, well, more Google-like about it, fire all the content people, and just invest in algorithms?
Then they come to conclusions about the human condition, which they put to use in improving their matching algorithms and, perhaps just as important, in getting out the word that they are doing so.
The algorithms look for interesting patterns in the data to determine what to write about.
FORBES: An Author Turns to Software to Take the Tedium out of Writing
It's also why companies such as Amazon and Netflix can develop shopping algorithms that know exactly what we want, even though they know nothing about us.
Backed by Warburg Pincus, Benchmark Solutions has spent about 40 million developing its Market Calibrated Framework engine which, the company says, has algorithms that work like an experienced trader in pricing bonds.
The tool uses proprietary algorithms to estimate the value of your home based on assessors-office data about your house, median home prices in the area and recent sales of comparable homes nearby.
As I wished, I'd like to get all Earthlings spending a bit of their day looking at data from the Allen Telescope Array to see if they can find patterns that all of the signal detection algorithms may still be missing, and while they are doing that, get them thinking about their place in the cosmos.
