Comments on: The Human Brain Cloud http://www.blogschmog.net/2007/12/12/the-human-brain-cloud/ We live as if the world were as it should be, to show it what it can be.

I wasn't clear that we were supposed to enter the labels individually, either, and started stringing them together. My poor anonymous partner had to endure a score of 670. I like that approach to a rather tedious task: make it into a game. Unlike the Human Brain Cloud, there is a heightened interest with the short time commitment and the pairing with some other person willing to do the same tagging exercise. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link.

Don't know what they're doing with the results, but they'd be cool to see. Have you checked out Google’s image labeler: http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ ?

This is not a developed semantic network such as WordNet, but empirical association data." </blockquote> From my pal Mark:

An older and more rigorous work is the Edinburgh Associative Thesaurus:

The Edinburgh Associative Thesaurus (EAT)
