Vowpal Wabbit (Fast Online Learning) by John Langford.
From the website:
There are two ways to have a fast learning algorithm: (a) start with a slow algorithm and speed it up, or (b) build an intrinsically fast learning algorithm. This project is about approach (b), and it’s reached a state where it may be useful to others as a platform for research and experimentation.
I rather like that!
Suspect the same is true for subject identity recognition algorithms.
People have fast ones that require little or no programming. 😉
What it will take to replicate such intrinsically fast subject recognition algorithms in digital form remains a research question.
