Could you do this real time with real time events? Like have microphones in a party/a conference/a sports event/and so on and get a realtime graph building on your computer screen of key-words being expressed and connections being made? The applications of this could really open up some cool creative spaces.
The implications of this with surveilance tech do scare me though.
Okay, just had my mind blown. Starts off quite interesting, then gets a bit "post hoc, ergo propter hoc", then gets VERY interesting, takes a sharp left, going down a different road - amazing visuals - and then has a very sweet, moving ending.
As a twice exceptional adult, (highly gifted with dysphonetic dyslexia), I found this video absolutely fascinating. The role early language development plays on other aspects of early neurophysiological development is such an interesting and important topic. Kudos to Deb Roy for bringing it to the forefront!
How does this only have 3 comments? TED has been such an intellectual cesspool since the golden age of TED, this is genuinely one of the best talks I've seen in a long time.
As a neuro-cognitive scientist and child development specialist, I think the potential contribution of these findings to how we understand child development both cognitive-linguistic, speech-motor and even gross motor is amazing. What this can mean for early intervention to mitigate the explosion of child language disorders, mostly in, but not limited to Autism, is inspiring. Dr. T - KidsAtoZ
@KidsAtoZ Not just that this can have a profound influence in the way we disseminate data or influence a large and diverse group of people. This is very powerful. I was blown away by this and Dr. Roy does a very good job of presenting this to his audience without confusing or overwhelming them.
"Powerful stuff" indeed - home movies. What a concept. Massive data on language learning is good. But 5 MIT PhD candidates for 5 years, for this? A database where your big peaks are Jerseyshore and NBA is worth something, I suppose. But I wouldn't give you 2¢ for it. Replacing Nielsen is a great goal, but this is no great solution. BTW, the traffic on the State of the Union - 90% haters.
Those "wordscapes" blew my mind. What an incredible data collection!

Again, totally amazing!

If he could explain such a mind boggling work with such dullness. I wonder how his students tolerate him in class. :-|

Can't wait to use the term "co-viewing clique" in a meeting!
Fascinating work. All of it.

ROFL.
NO SHIT.
granted. this is amazingly interesting.
but it all proved "when we talked simply, he learned quickly" we noticed the patters.
no shit X_x.
its all about understanding where your baby is, at any giving second, and speaking what he understands.

I'm curious whether the facebook data is public, or purchased private info. Also curious who's funding this ~
