Microsoft open-sources Infer.NET AI code just in time for the weekend

Now we know who's behind last update fail.

Some Internet Networking Things are Positively Terrorising* to Know?

As AI software become ever more prevalent, explaining its behavior becomes ever more important. .... Richard Speed

More important to whom and for what, Richard? More important to Mankind for the Running of SCADA Systems in an/the AIMachine?

Or more important and vital for the AIMachines Running Mankind? ....... although of course, would both of those searching questions require a quantum leap of greater universal understanding for one to realise the simply complex virtualised nature of one's fleeting existence on this Earthly planet and be able to enable by any and all means and memes to driver IT and AI in any particular and/or peculiar direction of one's choosing.

Methinks a more interesting and engaging current question is ..... Where is IT initially to be Securely Safe Harboured? In an Exotic Erotic Eastern Confection or Wild Wacky Western Delight for Private and Personal and Top Secret Pirate Confidential Use ....... which One can Only Really Just Hope doesn't Dabble and Descend into Rampant Misuse and Rabid Abuse?

* :-) and Terrific TitanICQ Alien Territory Too for All Those with That In the Know.

WTF ...... By Stealthy AIDefault ...... Novel Virtualised Beta MetaData Path Finder Ways*

* .....Essentials for Advancing IntelAIgents on NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTivatedD IT Cyber Space AIMissions ........ Universal Flights of Absolutely Fabulous Fantasy for Turning and Tuning into Future Undeniable Fact.

What Price that Initial Private Pirate Offering to Rightly Interested Markets? A Pretty Penny and More than a Fortune or a False Charge of Almighty Fake VapourWare?

vcc ..... Elon Musk/Sir Richard Branson/Wang Jianlin/No10/Vladimir Putin

And just in case you be asking, there is no such thing as a bvcc facility ..... blind virtual carbon copy utility ..... and that Instantly Guarantees Full Transparency for Security of Interesting Future Interested Parties with Investments to Honour with Enlightened Placing. ....... Safe Harbour Resting in an Almighty Escrow Account for Further Generation of Interest to Deliver Profit for Spending in Support and Supply of Successful Future Immaculate Raw Core Source Materiel to Follow and Help Build Brave New Worlds Upon. :-)

It's about the nearest thing you'll get towards a free and fair open democracy nowadays in Ye Olde 0Days of AIMeritocracies.

Infer.NET book

People interested in ML should take a look at the first link in the article. It goes to a Microsoft blog post that has quite a bit more information about Infer.NET (which has been available for academic use for ten years, by the way, and has been studied pretty extensively), and that links to a free ebook.

I've just started skimming through the book, and it seems quite good, at least in terms of explaining the concepts. I know most of the Reg readership is content to sneer at ML and toss out some clichéd comment to prove that they've paid no attention to the field in decades, but anyone interested in actually learning a bit (even to formulate stronger arguments about the failings of ML) who hasn't been following the research ought to take a look at the book.
