http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/purple-striped-jellyfish-naked-harbin.htmlRainbow Lorikeet: Wow ... "Computer, respond to this email" from Google, Re focusing on developing a possible Universal Translator, I see 4 possible structures/ontologies for an universal translator: 1) based on Wiktionary 2) something emerging out of Wikidata 3) something emerging out of Google Translate (with all of Google's infrastructure and commercialization possibilities) and 4) something emerging out of Watson/BlueMix, 5) Wikimedia "content translation," but this Google Email development just jumped to the top of my list, and inter-lingually especially, Greg Corrado, Senior Research Scientist, Google, Deep Learning Summit 2015
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/rainbow-lorikeet-wow-computer-respond.htmlHermit crab: Very glad CC World University and School (WUaS)'s donation of CC WUaS to CC Wikidata made it into this weekly [Wikidata] weekly summary #182, Erik/Denny Wikidata Fireside Chat (mention of Wiktionary a little after the 10 minute mark, and Gerard Meijssen, and by implication a possible approach to an Universal Translator around 17:30; and being managed by the Wikimedia company is a kind of trustworthiness), I gave away CC World University and School last week! :), And since this is all unfolding organizationally and I have the vision for WUaS, I hope WUaS will continue to develop the "front end" while Wikidata develops WUaS's "back end"

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/alagoas-curassow-interesting-wasc.htmlMoonfish - Opah: WUaS Universal Translator with this ancient Greek to English example, Fascinating to add to an Universal Translator a hypothetical 10 translations of "Electra," with all of their interpretations of multiple metaphors in this play, derive a set of rules and vocabulary from these translations, synthesize these rules into the Universal Translator (perhaps in CC Wikidata written for Wikipedia's ~300 languages), and then use these rules with developing machine learning to generate further Ancient Greek > English translations, and in all other 7,941+ language combinations as well, Hum 101 course World University and School would like to offer to all matriculating students online beginning in 2017, building on Reed College's required first year Hum 110 course (about the ancient Greek and Roman worlds and thinking), Also concerning conceiving of an universal translator in Wikidata, I wonder whether aliases (of an "entity,""item," or "property") could be used to add, for example, 1000 possible hypothetical translations of a sentence or a phrase (from any text), and then queried for the best translation.

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/kowhai-flowers-free-open-financial-data.htmlWhite-tailed ptarmigan: In donating CC WUaS to CC Wikidata, Digital Learning Research around Wikidata, "Digital humanities, collaborative ontology development, and digital learning" - Co-develop approaches to studying learning, academically, rigorously and longitudinally, at WUaS for free CC degrees inter-lingually especially? "People’s participation processes (the social system), the employed software (the technical system) and the collectively created artefact (the knowledge system)," Would the Google Hangouts (and eventually a film realistic 3D build-able interactive virtual earth as classroom - e.g. Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with OpenSim and SL - and eventually with brainwave headsets for brain research) be the social system, the CC MIT OCW in 7 languages (and eventually in most countries' main languages) be the technical system and Wikidata be the developing collectively created artefact (the knowledge system)? This seems so on first glance
