Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

I think that would be a feat of natural language processing far higher than anything achieved so far. Matter of fact, I think having a computer produce a well written novel would be significantly easier.

At least for game and stats summaries, computer written articles are used for many years.
Just read nhl.com, any pregame report. Those are 80% machine written.

Yeh, I don't think that would be all too hard at all. But that's separate from an actual report involving a machine watching the game and reporting on the players and events.

They operate off of stat lines. The stat lines still need to be filled by humans, but the articles can be entirely generated.

Think of those short baseball blurbs:

The Jays fell behind early as A. J. Happ struggled to get even a single out, giving up 3 runs in the first. He regained his form sitting the next 9 batters. The Jays came back to go ahead 6-3 in the 4th and poured on the runs, going ahead 500-3 in the 6th. The Jays have improved to 2-1 in the series, 100-30 for the year.


That's pretty easy to generate. We're not talking Player Tribune articles. Those are all written by the same guy. He lives in Ohio.

I'm talking player tribune articles though. And the original person was too, hence the "actual news articles."

Yes, actual as in they are actually published. Player Tribune articles aren't really what I consider news articles. I think that's a separate category, due to the depth of the article, called Longform Journalism.

Ok, well to make things clear I'm talking about an article written by a machine, with no statlines filled by a human. The only source of input the machine has is viewing the game, and the output is something like this:

Yes, I agree that that is out of the reach of AI for now.

Haha. What a timing. Our company is moving to new office and tomorrow i start moving our four racks with automated test setups. Its not servers or anything, but also take a lot of cabling and its generally a mess (better than on the video though!). So i am right now thinking of how to organize things: cabling, PCs, switches, power etc. The constraint we have is that our devices under test (DUT) take 12+ different cables in and they need to be accesible all the time. We need to able to remove DUT and its cabling with ease, or modify setup.

So this movie was actually quite helpful, made me think about some things and issues. I wont be able to apply everything obviously since the way we use our gear is different but hey, i actually look forward to doing that.
Pathetic Greta hater.

Is there anyway to do arithmetic operations on the relational algebra? Say you have a database of fast food outlets that you own, and you might have relations like employee_info, branches etc. In the branches relation lets say there information about who is able to work for you at that particular location, and in the employee_info relation there might be a timetable showing who's working currently and who's not.

Is it possible to output how many employees are available at a specific branch at that time? I have a feeling that arithmetic operations weren't possible on the relational algebra, which is a shit if correct.

Of course that's possible, you link all those tables and use the count function on employee ids with your conditions.

I know it's possible like that, but I'm asking if it's possible to subtract in anyway. I found this schema out of a textbook:

https://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/86b/86b4f72e-7407-4e33-af28-e90aacc10ccc/php4ZZyIW.png

Lets say you're trying to find the amount of copies remaining at specific library branch, using an aggregate count might not work, depending on how they've set up the schema. If all they've done is input that there are 5 copies of Casino Royal at that library, and 2 separate people have loaned a copy from that library, how can you output the correct answer?

I'm just trying to find out if you can do arithmetic from one column of data (assuming they're both numbers) to another, which I don't think is possible (or I never learned, which is more likely).
