Loved the piece. I am also in the field of data mining to look cool like everybody else, we call ourselves "Enterprise Intelligence" or simply "EI"

How do you make a crawler that understands concepts?With NLP you can identify words and such.A concept is about a philosophy of something.This is about perception and attitudes.How does one code a system that can read information and tell you the gist of the story?Like a personal assistant.

I'm thinking if I can make one which can read businessdaily and other news feeds integrate it with my signals system I can automate my trading system by embedding my analysis skills in it.The potential is ridiculous.Now let me meditate on that.

ChessMaster, thank you for starting this topic Applause . This is why I love wazua it challenges me!!

To my problem: I am trying to parse the faNtaSEy > 2011 Experts Leaderboard table at faNtaSEy > 2011 LeaderBoard. Since the table is paginated the crawler can't get past the 1st page. ideas on how to go about it.

Also welcome, are interesting ideas on what to do when I get the data.

Thank you.Let me look at it and I'll get back to you.The data I focus on is the trades.I focus on who is buying,what they are buying and how fast they sell.This is so I can see who has good timing and consistent in trading.I also check the quantity bought and the quantity traded during the day to see if the trade would have been possible in the market.

I suggest you download a software called fiddler.It can help decipher web requests with the help of Mozilla


I've tried posting the whole request but it doesn't fit the number of allowed characters!Its that big.Get fiddler so you can see for yourself.The first few lines you will see something like
Quote:
__EVENTTARGET=ctl00%24ContentPlaceHolder1%24grvFantasy&__EVENTARGUMENT=Page%244

This is for page 3
Quote:
__EVENTTARGET=ctl00%24ContentPlaceHolder1%24grvFantasy&__EVENTARGUMENT=Page%243


The difference is the last 2,3,4 which are the pages of the Experts challenge.What you do is let the crawler scan the first page so it can get the number of total pages.From there when requesting the rest of the pages configure the crawler to use a POST request which will use an iteration to change that specific digit.I haven't done it but have used the same method for other things.Try it and tell me how it works.

Are you aware that this fantasy market does not capture new listings e.g. Britam, cfci, cic, longhorn etc...

Humans live with uncertainty and are accustomed to living with and acting in relativity.Computers work on absolutes.Humans make relations to objects and ideas by utilizing their senses and imagination.Computers have no reference.

Objects in language exist in context and reference to something else.Thus creating boundaries or groupings which computers can identify and a relationship matrix of some kind can be built upon that.

Thinking on the line of children.Why do they continue to ask why?Curiosity can only be built upon the boundaries of an established knowledge base.You can't ask what you don't know.

There are many ways to ask a question.Why didn't they win or why did they lose?How does a computer know which one to ask and what to base it on.There is also a problem with socializing.How would it learn to be social,build rapport,deal with sarcasm(Reminded of Sheldon heresmile ),jokes and quotes.Also how would they deal with adjectives because they are very subjective.

Given a framework,an AI system can gain knowledge independently,comprehend it,solve problems but the true test lies in synthesizing knowledge independently.Lateral thinking would be interesting,like a philosophical AI.
