Searching the Matrix

Here is an interesting concept on the Google distance, basically using Google to figure out distances between words. It was devised by Cilibrasi of CWI who I mentionned earlier in this entry. In reference to this, I eventually mentionned that you needed to use this concept to search through videos. Incindently, the new Google search engine now goes through videos but uses the text of the show for the blind to search through them. This is a nice trick, but we will need tools like that of Cilibrasi based directly on the video distance to figure out exactly what type of movies/scene we are looking for. It all looks like the convergence of several media are going to make this technology happen.
