Graph of Knowledge
05
Feb
A store type of information dubbed the “Knowledge Graph” now adds useful context and detail to the
list of links that Google uses.
Searching for certain people, places, or things produces a box of facts together with the regular results, the Knowledge Graph is already starting to appear in a few other Google products, and can be used to add intelligence to all of the company’s software.
Knowledge Graph is a symbolic structure of ideas and common sense that analyzes the relationships among entities, such as food, sports, or famous people.
A Google’s Web search is a step from understanding the context of documents, for example, knowing that a document about famous tennis players is also about tennis and sports, states the report in the MIT site.
The news is in an interview format, with the John Giannandrea, Google’s vice president of engineering, which explained that Google’s Knowledge Graph is one of the company’s efforts to teach the computers to understand better the meaning of the data.
Ontological pragmatic

Jan
View all this context gnoseological reduction and logic of ontology,
the author turns in the third chapter to the presentation of a pragmatic concept ontology.
Proposed for this account four main levels: the phenomenological , hermeneutic , the poetic and metaphysical.
The first level means access to be as a phenomenon that will highlight your appears and this will differentiate you from the ontic aspect, as she explains it is the fundamental dimension of matrix ontologic (pp. 33).
The hermeneutic level refers to as the appear of being, ie , define the scope and character of its truth , “the structures of thinking and discursive articulation of being” (pp. 33 ) .
Follows the poietic level, so named because of its constructive character, “should draw up detailed structures of being”, referring to the ontic plane, which was initially abstracted , for methodological reasons.” (pp. 33)
And at last develops the metaphysical dimension, “returning to the phenomenological plane appears, takes it and transcends it in further, opening the ontology to a space of perhaps theological questioning.” (pp. 34)
The important thing in this method is that ” being requires a specific type of intellectual view , where , missing all the conditions of uniqueness , thinking experiences the immediate presentation of the ‘ thing itself ‘ (die Sache selbst ) . ” (pp. 35 )
Logical Empiricism and critique of metaphysics
29

This whole picture of contemporary ontology, if not addressing to a “new form of positivism , in countries of Anglo-Saxon language, linguistic and logical reduction and operated by him of the problems of ontological and metaphysical nature.” (the book Introduction to Ontology , Mafalda F. Blanc, pp. 31)
The ” logical empiricism of the Vienna Circle , Schlick and Carnap represented by , among others, and the school of analytic philosophy from Oxford , that are eminent figures an Austin and Searle ” (p. 31 ) .
All schools in our view , and also the author based on the thought of Wittgenstein have in common and one of his ideas is that ” the reduction of philosophy to a study of language ” (p. 31 )
The influence of Vienna, output “Tractatus Logic – Philosophicus of Wittgenstein (1921 ) , ” whereas the problem of knowledge should not be placed from the point of view of consciousness but a rigorously constructed language, reduces philosophy to a logical analysis of the discourse of science” (pp. 32 ) .
I mean the influence because Wittgenstein had dialogues with the circle not being its direct integral , but his speech has a strong influence especially in buildings Carnap , where “syntax , ie , a theory of formal coherence and for the second one semantics or theory of reference , whereas its truth lies in the empirical confirmation.” (p.p 32 )
Think there “a correspondence between the logical form of language and the world , even those thinkers consider the possible effect the epistemological philosophy contour of reality , ie , to say the way it is , but not what it is and only if can show as pure fact .” (pp. 32 )
The second Wittgenstein , whose main work is ” Philosophical Investigations ” , defends the ” pluralism of languages , based on use, determine the meaning and logical connection of terms. ” (pp. 32 )
This will mean ” the primacy of pragmatic regarding the semantics and syntax , adscrevendo for philosophy the study of natural languages , from the point of view of their use and purpose with which it aims to achieve a community of speakers ” (pp. 32 ) .
Whole question as the terms indicate : syntax, semantics and pragmatics ; are very sensitive issues of technology , but as the author says ” the philosophical problems arising from an incorrect use of language ” (pp. 32 ) and this has to do with context and not with the correspondence to empirical data .
Japanese develops paintings with Excel
20
Jan
The spreadsheet can be used for many things, the main
ones are tables and graphics, also for accounting, do statistics , but the Japanese Horiuchi uses to paint.
His story is not new, in 2006 won an award in Excel Art Contest, and since that time his art was much more expressive than their competitors .
For him Excel is a much better tool than Paint , simpler and used by many people or even Adobe Photoshop used by designers and artists , says that initially thought a hobby, and seeing Excel thought ” I can probably draw it.”
He was ready to retire, Tatsuo Horiuchi wanted a challenge for the rest of your life. He then saw people using Excel to create charts, and thought ” I can probably draw it.” He never needed to use Excel to work but did not take to master the techniques of software. And now, he believes that Excel is best for this kind of thing than the Paint , the simple Microsoft software for creating and editing images.
But the news does not stop there, his works are shared and you can download the Excel file of two works: Cherry Blossoms in Game Castle (2006) and Kegon Falls (2007), will probably be the first master paintsourcing or prefer crowdpainting.
Some will say it is not art, but Tatsuo is happily shares with all the beautiful cloth that does.
Photobomb mania at the end of year
19
Dec
Suddenly some portions of curious photos appear on the web, may be something curious in a photo,
but to be successful must have something that may seem a joke , perhaps the Christmas atmosphere in technological time , ie , a climate of joy caused by a photo .
In Oxford dictionary (online of course) already appears three definitions :
Photobomb (nom): spoil a photograph of ( person or thing ) by appearing unexpectedly in the field of view of the camera when the picture is taken , something that makes it a prank or a joke
Characteristics of Generation Z
26
Nov
GenerationZ or Generation Millenium , are those born in the late 90s and early 2000´s, are the children of Generation X, people born
in the late ’60s, they were sons of the silent generation ( of war ) and baby boomers ( baby boom after the war ) and generation Y , who are young parents of ” connected ” generation.
This is the first generation that was born fully connected , since the Web was born in the 90s and saw the Millennials born, so it can be said that
it was “through migrant”.
Generation Z are known as digital native , I mean born on a planet already connected with use of the World Wide Web , file sharing , smartphones
and gadgets that make all connected all the time .
We found the other fast-moving world , but for them without it all gets a bit too tedious , they feel comfortable with television, radio, telephone, music and Web, another characteristic of this generation is the concept of the world, for they have no boundaries , it is now possible to travel, meet people and countries without a high cost .
.
The information will not be lacking , but begin to be selective too early, because they are focused on adapting to his time and like all other generations also like to break prejudices and concepts ( ie not specific to this generation , no! ) .
There are two paradoxical concepts of this generation , those who say they are ” dumbest generation” and those who say they are exceptional and fast in concepts. As I said in another post ( see my blog) I think the first misconception .
I think those who think the first hypothesis does not believe and has no hope of something new , a new arrival will depend youth .

presence in a scene with someone or simply a self-portrait.
They were once common in history, self-portraits , but selfie not only became popular , was recorded in the Oxford English dictionary , but within seconds the editors of the dictionary , the term routinely used by people worldwide , has evolved out of one narrow niche of social media for professional use , according to the dictionary , an increase of 17,000 % in 2013 .
The inclusion of the word selfie, in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary came in August , but the paper version is still being evaluated .
Records neologism word 2013, called off the controversial choreography twerk , American singer Miley Cyrus , and also the binge -watch , which means spending a lot of time watching television.

Windows 8.1 is released free
20
Nov
As the Microsoft , the Windows version 8.1 RT is available for free download , although the site itself know that a small number of user Surface tablet (according to site 1 problem in 1000) have found a problem installing this device .
The previous version called Preview no longer be available after January says the site , but there are few changes from this version , and the interface impacts some users because it does not have major changes , an already experienced by users is the integration with SkyDrive , which is very good.
The library of documents , pictures , music and videos are not gone , just not apparent , but you can through the Navigation Panel to make it visible (see aside).
The famous ( and somewhat uncomfortable ) buttons in the sidebar on the right side , the five buttons , “Search ” , ” Share ” , ” Start” , “Devices ” and ” Settings.” Where the most important is the latter, which leads to a new sidebar with several sets of settings to change the behavior and appearance of the interface, but it is certain that most users will not move it.
The old Start button , now reappears in the lower left corner of the desktop , where it was since Windows 95, but does not call the old Start menu is just a shortcut to the home screen , the new interface called Metro .
.
But if you think getting nasty walking the mouse pointer until you find the exact corner where he opens the bar , you can open it directly with the shortcut “Windows C ” , but setting there is a way to open it , any triggering of a their functions buds combining with some Windows key with the character ” S ” to “Search ” , ” H ” to ” Share ” button to pure Windows ” Start” ( which leads to the Start screen ), “K” to “Devices ” and “I” to” Settings”, with some frequency of use, you will have to memorize.
Software transforms 2D in 3D
14
Sep
It is very easy for humans to identify the presence of 3D objects in 2D scenes, but building extraction algorithms for this transformation is more complicated.
A new system was developed by the Interdisciplinary Center development at the University of Tel Aviv with the aim to simplify this process by using a technique to draw 3D shapes from photos and regular objects in 2D.
The system is simple enough to be understood and used by anyone, the user must trace the outline of the object and set its three dimensions, ie define axes or dimensions that should be placed in the third dimension, then the software automatically adjusts the object.
But the sweep in the third dimension not just to draw three-dimensional objects, the resulting model 
can be manipulated and edited and even reinserted back into photos or 3D scenes, and this makes the software a good news.
“Our biggest goal is still to help novice users to do this,” said researcher Chen Tao to Wired. “It took us some time to figure how to make October a very convenient user interface to generate this stuff.”
The paper 3-Sweep: Extracting Editable Objects from a Single Photo EIA was published in SIGGRAPH, 2013.
A post turns movie

May
The story began at lunchtime James Erwin of Rome, Sweet Rome when he took time off to write a story imagining of soldiers, but only a few centuries before, fighting against the Roman soldiers.
The text for the blog was around 13h, 17h and had over 250,000 people reading your story.
But do not stop there one week a call from a Hollywood producer, and in just seven days signed a contract with Warner Brothers to turn the story into a screenplay for the big screen.
He did not disclose the value of the contract, says only a “ridiculous amount of money” and thinks that the minimum for the script will be $ 110,000.
The story of a part of everyday American sailor who along with his battalion, is in the middle of a battle against the empire of Augustus, told Financal Times.
The question is whether a success on the Web can be successful on the big screen, but uncompensated.
