Cognitive algorithms for forecasting future outcomes



Fascinating video about cognitive research at Microsoft, using large streams of data that are then analysed by "surprise algorithms" to send alerts based on sets of "learned" conditions that would "surprise" the user. Very very cool and though-provoking piece, although the interviewee is definitely looking a little nervous. Kudos to the guys over at MIT Technology Review for posting this!
