Initial Post

In this project I want to take a closer look on machine learning. I am interested in this method

  • as an interactive tool,
  • in terms of borders of possible applications (empathy, self-awareness)
  • and in the fact that it can detect patterns, where we do not see any.

The wish for an intelligent system is very intriguing to me, because it raises the question, if behind this wish stands a socially disappointed human who wants to improve human interaction by replacing it on one side with a machine, who could maybe someday be a better companion than another human.
