I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad you're able to get help through counseling.

Shouldn't this article have appeared in Nurture magazine?

Facial recognition is possible using the IBM Watson Visual Recognition service.

If you tried the Watson vision offering when it was "AlchemyVision" then you may have tried a now out-of-date version of the service. The AlchemyVision and Visual Recognition tiles on Bluemix have recently been combined in a way that utilizes their complementary strengths. Consider retrying the updated service if you'd like!

Disclosure: I work at IBM Watson.

It could also be indicative of future market moves in other markets too, even if these moves are not crises. The large moves in commodities has been anomalously _uncorrelated_ with equity markets, though historically over long enough windows the two move together. This raises the question of whether this trend has broken or if one (commodities markets or equities) will budge in the direction of the other soon. My crystal ball is too smudgy to know this myself...

Surprised there's no mention of the Curry-Howard correspondence between proofs and programs.

I think the information theoretic approach to modeling concerns actually implies such "simpler is better" approaches as Occam's Razor. At least that's my take on [http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9601030], which derives a quantitative form of it.

Maybe not self-referene but reference to the class to which it belongs, cf. Quine's paradox:

"Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation" yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation.

Can you explain a bit more why the recurrent network structure becomes necessary at some point? Is that because reversing a CNN naturally means rendering by (de)convolution?
