I have been using some screen-scrapped RSS feeds for some good sites. So far, it was know to a relative few, but I guess it should be OK to let the word out. Here they are:
- Arts & Letters Daily, Essays & Opinions - RSS feed
- Arts & Letters Daily, Articles of Note - RSS feed
- Arts & Letters Daily, New Books - RSS feed
- SciTech Daily, Features and Background - RSS feed
- Scitech Daily, Analysis and Opinions - RSS feed
- SciTech Daily, Books and Media - RSS feed
All these feeds are hosted on my machine at the University, so it could be offline intermittently, but not frequently. They are updated only once a day, so don't pound on it every half hour!
Source codes for the perl scripts that create the feeds are available.
A software Centre for Development of Advance Computing (C-DAC) in association with IIT Kanpur and Indian Institute of Information Technology Mysore aims to solve the "Tower of Babel" problem in mobile phones. As reported in The Telegraph:
Here's how it works: the spoken word in Bengali or any other language is transformed into audio signals. This is then digitized and analysed to extract important features of the spoken word (which is done through a complex audio signal processing technique). This is then analysed with artificial intelligence techniques to decipher the spoken word.
