Talk:Never-Ending Language Learning

I learned about NELL in a very strange way, my google reader feed had a story from gizmodo linking to http://gizmodo.com/5656217/right-now-a-computer-is-reading-the-internet-teaching-itself-language which is 404'ed as a believe they were asked to remove the story.

Data accessible?
Certainly, NELL would be excellent at analogy questions (this:that::these:those). This would be a nice resource for human language-learners: "what are the things like wings on a helicopter called?", etc. If the data is available, it would be great to have a link. 187.143.8.151 (talk) 16:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Notability?
I do not mean to criticise the work behind NELL at all, but I do not see that it warrants an article at this time. This system appears to have much less importance or influence than other NLP systems listed in Wikipedia. Computer science departments around the world develop many NLP systems -- some of them larger, longer running, and with many publications to their name -- which do not get a Wikipedia article. --winterstein (talk) 13:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * , notability has been demonstrated through multiple reliable and verifiable sources about the subject. The standard of notability has nothing to do with the system being more or less important than some other system, just as we don't delete articles about athletes or actors, merely because some other individual is deemed more important. It seems to be your niche, and you are encouraged to create articles for other such systems that have received coverage in appropriate sources, as well as to expand and update this article. The notability tag has been removed. Alansohn (talk) 18:27, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
