Thanks for your helpful talk, Bill. In your / IBM’s use of Wikipedia data, what role does Wikipedia’s Creative Commons’ licensing play here if any? For example, Wikimedia / Wikipedia engages both CC-0 - so commercial - licensing in Wikicite for bibliographic data, while Wikimedia / Wikipedia also engages other non-commercial CC licensing. (I ask with CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in many languages in mind - where CC-4 licensing allows for A) sharing B) adapting but C) non-commercially). 

Do you engage questions of licensing (I'm particularly interested in Creative Commons' licensing/law, both CC-4 re MIT OCW in 5 languages, as well as CC-0 re Wikicite for bibliographic data in ~301 languages) at all, or are such distinctions on the horizon in your work with various datasets, Bill?

Thanks Scott MacLeod - great, great question
Ethical AI demands true rigor around data sets

Engineered AI Still Matters for Question Answering talk - CSIG / IBM


Hi Bill,

Thanks for your helpful talk this morning. Here's my question again:  In your / IBM’s use of Wikipedia data, what role does Wikipedia’s Creative Commons’ licensing play here if any? For example, Wikimedia / Wikipedia engages both CC-0 - so commercial - licensing in Wikicite for bibliographic data, while Wikimedia / Wikipedia also engages other non-commercial CC licensing. (I ask with CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in many languages in mind - where CC-4 licensing allows for A) sharing B) adapting but C) non-commercially). 

And here's an idea at the top that emerged partly in conversation with your talk - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/dodders-chat-bots-that-use-or-avatar.html

Some Stanford Law CodeX presentations raised some further related questions. 

Might you be heading in the direction of talking avatar bots, and even in a realistic virtual earth with realistic avatar bots - eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hash and even in online medical schools with tele-robotic surgery - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1038822141880233984 ? 

Thanks again for your talk, and nice to be in communication. 

Regards, Scott

Jonathan,

Great to see you in passing recently at the Hotchkies' 50th Anniversary and SCD party too.

Someone at Twitter or in coding its algorithms seems very interested in posting your recent Tweet -

https://twitter.com/jlovellsjawp/status/1040303696855351298 - at the top of all 6 of my Twitter feeds! ... Interesting ... Wondering why?

Friendly regards, Scott

Must have been done by a Twitter algorithm that was especially partial to ice cream!

My very best,

Thinking about algorithms (and Twitters' too) a bit these days - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/dodders-chat-bots-that-use-or-avatar.html - but heading more in a natural language processing direction and eventually in a realistic virtual earth with realistic avatar bots' way ... and even for Scottish Country Dancing and great enjoyment, therein (and possibly even understanding why we enjoy ice cream brain science-wise:) ... Lots of people in their homes to try some, and connect with, for brain wave headset research and in multiple languages for example.

My very best,

Scott

Friendly regards, Scott
