    How do you teach a computer that correlation does not imply causation?

    Well there's the Turing test, which certainly needs the machine to know how to handle context, but to do that you don't need to distinguish correlation from causation, just data from previous parts of the conversation

    How do you teach a computer that correlation does not imply causation?

    Hey it's been a while since I've posted something on these forums, hope all of you have a good New Year's! One of the things I've been doing rather than posting here is studying for one of the hardest exams in my undergraduate course, Econometrics. One of the past exams I've been doing has...

    Torture Still Exists

    If there was a march protesting the Rotenberg Center I'd definitely take part. I can't believe that stuff still exists in this day and age. I also am quite skeptical about the USA actually being sanctioned by the UN, even though they deserve it.

    Study Habits?

    I discovered I can't study at home - I spend more time avoiding studying than actually doing any work. Even if I lose an hour and a half commuting, it's still more efficient for me to study at my university rather than at home. I become a lot more patient with studying if I am listening to...

    What did you feel when a Special Interest ended?

    nurseangela: It's so your description of your experience isn't affected by mine. So you won't use phrases like "feeling empty" and talk about passion without it coming out of your own mind. For example, DogwoodTree's description is pretty similar to mine, but only because the experience of...

    What did you feel when a Special Interest ended?

    On the Inside: It never felt like a hangover, the term "hangover" was used because it was about the effects of the obsession coming to an end, and the ensuing fallout. Also you didn't play by the rules! ;)

    What did you feel when a Special Interest ended?

    This is a special thread where I'd like you to reply to the subject without reading the rest of this post. Done replying? Almost a decade ago I was heavily addicted to a game called Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Even though I was average at best, I watched tons of vids and replays of the...

    Listmaking

    If you know what Build Orders are in strategy games, I love making those ! And WH40K Armies. And chore lists which I ignore way too often :rolleyes:

    Searching for friends

    I think it would help if you listed your interests - that's the easiest way to start a conversation. I guess ASD could be one of those interests :P

    Is Aspergers the evolved/elevated human being ?

    It's a fact that people with ASD reproduce less. So from a Darwinian standpoint (and survival of the species) ASD is an evolutionary disadvantage. The only way it could lead the way of the evolution of the human species (in itself its not an "evolution") is if the Earth was overpopulated. But...

    Are you attracted to Aspies more than NT's?

    I'm more attracted to people who care and try to understand why I am the way I am. I've seen many "horror" stories where an AS partner failed to emotionally support their partner, even though they knew the nature of the difficulties. There's probably a bigger overlap with understanding and...
