[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7266924, member: 4937"] I couldn't even revolutionize bioinformatics, and it was much easier for one of us to get out of academia and since she was the one that really had a passion for it, it was me. That said, I'm quite sure that textual analysis is going to be a big thing in the future, because determining the meaning of actual natural language speech is a huge area of inquiry right now. And I'm sure someone will come up with ways to revolutionize many fields as AI researchers learn from other fields how meaning is created and are able to apply that to looking at things in new ways. I just don't think I'm going to be the one to do it. That said, the information in natural language really is much more difficult to get at than something like genetic code with its very long sequence lengths and its four basic carriers of information and its ultimately precise mapping between itself and something physical and tangible in the real world (even if we can't yet do that mapping because its too computationally expensive). There often is going to be situations where there simply isn't enough information in the text to come to definitive conclusion, which is something you well know, but which I think will become a measurement with more and more rigor as we come to understand language more and more.
