AI Black Box Problem - Google AI learns Bengali on its own.
A Google AI program spoke in the Bengali language that it was never trained to know. Such mysterious behaviors are called emergent properties where an AI unexpectedly teaches itself a new skill.

For a long time, #English was the link language, but self-styled nationalists, especially from the ruling #BJP, felt this was a betrayal of "Indian" values.

But Hindi is not even spoken by a majority (>50%) of Indians. It is merely spoken by the most Indians.
So people of other ethnicities worry that under Hindi domination, their languages would disappear.

- The developers are stunned.
- After only a few hints, it began producing meaningful responses in Bengali - a language never incorporated into its training. 🤯

A Bengali is a person who is ethnically or culturally affiliated with the Bengal region of South Asia. The Bengali people are the world's third-largest ethnic community, after the Han Chinese and the Arabs.
They are native to the region of #Bengal, which is now divided between the independent country Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal and Tripura.

Mohammad Safeeruddin, a victim of the Nellie Massacre stated in an interview that “They were chasing and running behind us and killing from morning 9 am till 3 pm. Mother, 2 sons, brother’s daughter-in-law, and my niece were killed in our family.”

Really excited about the 17 authors who entered the Indian #publicdomain in 2021! Authors from all across India feature in this list, so look out languages of India... you just got richer this year! #linguisticdiversity
In India, the criteria for expiration of #copyright is 60 years since the death of the author, and that the work was published before their death. This year, books of authors who passed away in 1960 are coming into the public domain.
And here we go- some #Indianwriters featured in our #publicdomain post at the blog...

"Anustup"/ "অনুষ্টুপ" is a 54 year old independent #Bengali literary & cultural journal (ISSN: 0974-2697). It is now officially recognized by @ugc_india on their list of approved journals. Scholars publishing in #Bangla/#বাংলা pls consider subscribing & publishing. cc @maitreesh
Regional language journals are dying across #India. Anustup doesn't even have a decent website because it doesn't have resources. It will only sustain if more people subscribe to it. Please write to Anustup at anustuppotrika@gmail.com
And the list of people who have published in this journal will surprise you. It includes (late) Ritwick Ghatak, (late) Hemango Biswas, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Arindam Chakrabarti, Partha Chatterjee, Maitreesh Ghatak, and many others. So do engage!
Please watch and share this video I have made demonstrating an active home management plan for mild #COVID19 in the context of limited access to hospital care/testing using simple affordable equipment. This will help save many lives. Stay safe 🙏🏼
I have divided management principles into 3 categories: 1/ priming immunity 2/ reducing viral load 3/ breathing exercises/positioning. Demos: pulse oximetry, saline nasal rinse, basic lung physiology, box breathing, balloon blowing (auto PEEP), bubble blowing via straw into H2O.
My video is now available to view in 12 other languages on my YouTube channel (French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi & Bengali). More language dubs are on the way. Pls watch/share: 👉🏼youtube.com/playlist?list=…
