Protein folding, weather forecasting, cryptanalysis, predicting chemical properties from Schrödinger's equations. Personally, I would experiment with neural language models that I can't currently implement because I lack the computing power. You can't deny that the availability of computing power has always shaped the direction of AI research. What approaches are there now that don't push the limits of the hardware? -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=8eb45b07
