1. Welcome and Greetings
News:
Greetings!
NEWS about World University and School:
1 WUaS's OPEN monthly business meeting meets this Saturday November 14th at 9 am PT. Email worlduniversityandschool
2 WUaS needs your help. You can make 501 (c) (3), U.S., federal, tax-deductible contributions directly to World University and School, P.O. Box 442, (86 Ridgecrest Road), Canyon, California, 94516. Alternately, you can give by credit card or PayPal account here at http://
3 CC WUaS seeks undergraduate applicants to apply next autumn 2016 and matriculate online in the autumn of 2017 for free CC degrees, first in English; WUaS is open now as a wiki (editable web pages) for you to teach at, learn from and create with.
4 WUaS is looking forward to being a "real entrepreneurial client" in UC Berkeley course ""New Business Counseling Practicum and Seminar" with Boalt Law Professor Will Kell in the new year.
5 WUaS gave away CC World University and School (WUaS to CC Wikidata last week ... yup ... the whole thing ... Creative Commons' licensing is curious however ... http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2015/10/donation-of-cc-world-university-school.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/wild-bactrian-camel-wikidata-donation.html ... and WUaS still plans to develop online courses in many languages (e.g. CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) toward free CC degrees, accredit, and help to build WUaS, planned in all 7938+ languages in the great inter-lingual Wikidata database (written for Wikipedia's 300 languages) and with machine learning. In seeking to become the Harvard of the Internet in all countries' main languages, WUaS doesn't know of any other Universities developing around machine learning.
Debriefings can help you accelerate projects, innovate new approaches to problems, and hit difficult objectives. More than a casual conversation about what did and didn’t work, a debriefing digs into why things happened. It should review four key questions:
- What were we trying to accomplish? Start by restating the objectives you were trying to hit.
- Where did we hit (or miss) our objectives? Review your results, and ensure the group is aligned.
- What caused our results? This should go deeper than obvious, first-level answers.
- What should we start, stop, or continue doing? Given the root causes uncovered, what should we do next, now that we know what we know?

Rainbow 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

Hermit 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"

Moonfish - 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.

Hibiscus: Great Google Classroom (which World University has) video ... for students studying at WUaS from their HIGH SCHOOL rooms around the world, first in English, then in UN and CC 7 MIT OCW Languages, and then in most countries' large languages (for Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees), Mission control for students and teachers ...

Your playing-via-phone insight (for groups too) is brilliant for closer-to-real-real-time, Barbara ... I want to get the basic microphones and gear eventually for professional recording with this Google Hangout Phone setup :), Great, eventually, for the online Music School at WUaS planned for ALL musical instruments, each a wiki subject school to begin, in all 7,941+ languages

Kowhai flowers: Free Open Financial Data in Wikidata and vis-a-vis World University and School in all Nation States' main languages?, English, Spanish, Chinese, Have you explored Q items in Wikidata in Spanish and Chinese to parallel the Q item for financial data you used in English for SimFin (or parallel inter-lingual processes, perhaps in languages you know)?, See, too, this recent blog post: White-tailed ptarmigan: In donating CC WUaS to CC Wikidata ...
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/kowhai-flowers-free-open-financial-data.html
White-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

Moonfish - 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.

White-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
