Ch!cken in Ch!nese!

So I've been sort of in between a lot of things going on...in between installing and messing with Pyth0n/Dj@ngo, doing J@va homework and doing some embedded w0rkshops, I've also been taking an A! workshop...one is in pr0gramming a r0botic car and the other is just basic A!.

This is interesting..it is explaining how words begin to be interpreted...pred!ctive text and translation for articles. It is basically identifying patterns and using news articles that have previously been translated twice and drawing from those and making predictions about other things that we don't have information about.
For example, in this case, we look at an English menu next to a Chinese one. It is assumed that each line corresponds to characters. We are to match which we think correspond to words in English. It's quite fascinating. It means you don't necessarily have to know the language, but rather understand patterns and make predictions based on them.
