http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/business/lie-detection-software-parses-the-human-voice.html?_r=1&ref=technology An interesting article that I think shows how rapidly the analysis of human behaviour by computers is progressing. This fits in with my ideas of a digital presence on the world wide web, particularly in ways that computers may be able to analyse archived material and put it together to produce a "virtual" person based on a specific query. Seems a query will potentially be able to include emotive, and other, material as part of the parameters it can search on. |
