P.S. I got no message, what ya mean?

Of course not! I'm sorry if I gave you that impression! It's simply a different model, that may not be reducible to the Psychoanalytic model. Of course, their may be an overlap.
Personally, I view scientific knowledge as empirical data/observations [b]modeled[/n] or presented according to a specific model. The words "good" and "bad" are not attributes of a model; unless "bad" means incomplete or inaccurate.
Models are semantically - and often structurally - different. That's - in a nutshell - what I meant. The keywords are "different" and "non-reducible."



That is a vast subject i.e. what may be the value of Freud's views? Epistemologist - and for the most part were Anglo-Saxons - would say no. Maybe another day!



Are you're familiar with Karl Popper's philosophy/epistemology?

Siggie,
I'm sorry to say that I have some bad news for you! I have extensively searched the Web today and found out that most think that "banging one's head against the wall" does not help mutual understanding, nor helps clarify differences - apparent or not - to bring the views closer! Sorry!
Please do not discard my words only because nobody have tested the above statement!
Also, please do not test it with too much zeal! Thanks!
On the bright side, it seems that communication, patience and tolerance of differences help! Do you care to test the latter hypothesis?

It seems that the same applies to impatience!

Ceci est du pipo.

"Hi I am Siamanto and I post cultured posts and I also display my knowledge of French because it makes me look cultured and I like to post about pipes which are not really pipes if you think about them because post-modernism says so!"

Mais....

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

PS. "Ceci est du pipo" means something like "this is blah blah!"

My post was purely a joke, but you're right, fuzzy search can be applied.

Yes, I read it as a joke! I did not even pay attention to its content. Thank you for the clarification!

However, fuzzy searches are based on pattern recognition and string matching, not the other way.

I wouldn't be so sure! Many current implementations of fuzzy search are based on the Levenshtein distance - a metric defined on the space of words of an alphabet. Pattern recognition is based on - or can be modeled as - the distance - i.e.difference/similarity - of two patterns. A fuzzy search based on the Levenshtein distance can be used to recognize patterns. When I noticed the permutation of characters etc...in the text of your post, I automatically thought of the Levenshtein distance!

Some of the common algorithms for doing such complex string matching and pattern recognition are machine learning, suffix trees, time-warping, HMMs and so on.

A simple program would suffice to implement fuzzy search! Of course, it can be integrated in more complex systems. There are open source implementations of fuzzy search, you can take a look. For instance, Lucene includes one implementation.

The following explicitly states that it refers to and summarizes - therefore repeats - a previous post!

What I said still holds
...
My previous post is more detailed.

Does the following simply states the obvious or does it betray an instinct to repeat?

here siamanto is NOT repeating himself

PS. Just curious, did you figure it out all by yourself? LOL!

[thedebutante]

no. we all know it takes a handful of 150up peeps to figure out each of your posts. LOL!
