or<00:00:27.920> i<00:00:28.000> was<00:00:28.160> one<00:00:28.320> of<00:00:28.400> the<00:00:28.480> people<00:00:28.640> who<00:00:28.800> did<00:00:28.960> it
or i was one of the people who did it or i was one of the people who did it that<00:00:29.199> thing<00:00:29.359> is<00:00:29.439> called<00:00:29.599> a<00:00:29.760> captcha<00:00:30.320> and<00:00:30.480> the that thing is called a captcha and the that thing is called a captcha and the reason<00:00:30.880> is<00:00:30.960> there<00:00:31.119> is<00:00:31.199> to<00:00:31.359> make<00:00:31.439> sure<00:00:31.599> that<00:00:31.760> you reason is there is to make sure that you reason is there is to make sure that you the<00:00:32.160> entity<00:00:32.399> filling<00:00:32.719> out<00:00:32.800> the<00:00:32.960> form<00:00:33.200> are the entity filling out the form are the entity filling out the form are actually<00:00:33.520> a<00:00:33.600> human<00:00:34.160> and<00:00:34.239> not<00:00:34.399> some<00:00:34.559> sort<00:00:34.719> of actually a human and not some sort of actually a human and not some sort of computer<00:00:35.200> program<00:00:35.520> that<00:00:35.680> was<00:00:35.840> written<00:00:36.079> to computer program that was written to computer program that was written to submit<00:00:36.480> the<00:00:36.640> form<00:00:36.800> millions<00:00:37.120> and<00:00:37.200> millions<00:00:37.520> of submit the form millions and millions of submit the form millions and millions of times<00:00:38.239> the<00:00:38.399> reason<00:00:38.640> it<00:00:38.800> works<00:00:39.120> is<00:00:39.280> because times the reason it works is because times the reason it works is because humans<00:00:40.079> at<00:00:40.160> least<00:00:40.399> non-visually<00:00:40.960> impaired humans at least non-visually impaired humans at least non-visually impaired humans<00:00:41.680> have<00:00:41.840> no<00:00:42.000> trouble<00:00:42.239> reading<00:00:42.480> these humans have no trouble reading these humans have no trouble reading these distorted<00:00:43.040> squiggly<00:00:43.440> characters<00:00:43.840> whereas distorted squiggly characters whereas distorted squiggly characters whereas computer<00:00:44.480> programs<00:00:45.200> simply<00:00:45.440> can't<00:00:45.600> do<00:00:45.760> it<00:00:45.920> as computer programs simply can't do it as computer programs simply can't do it as well<00:00:46.160> yet<00:00:46.719> so<00:00:46.879> for<00:00:47.039> example<00:00:47.360> in<00:00:47.440> the<00:00:47.520> case<00:00:47.680> of well yet so for example in the case of well yet so for example in the case of ticketmaster<00:00:48.399> the<00:00:48.559> reason<00:00:48.800> you<00:00:48.879> have<00:00:49.039> to<00:00:49.120> type ticketmaster the reason you have to type ticketmaster the reason you have to type these<00:00:49.440> distorted<00:00:49.920> characters<00:00:50.320> is<00:00:50.480> to<00:00:50.559> prevent these distorted characters is to prevent these distorted characters is to prevent scalpers<00:00:51.440> from<00:00:51.600> writing<00:00:51.920> a<00:00:52.000> program<00:00:52.320> that<00:00:52.480> can scalpers from writing a program that can scalpers from writing a program that can buy<00:00:52.879> millions<00:00:53.280> of<00:00:53.360> tickets<00:00:53.680> two<00:00:53.840> at<00:00:53.920> a<00:00:54.000> time buy millions of tickets two at a time buy millions of tickets two at a time you<00:00:54.800> know<00:00:54.960> captures<00:00:55.280> are<00:00:55.360> used<00:00:55.520> all<00:00:55.680> over<00:00:55.840> the you know captures are used all over the you know captures are used all over the internet<00:00:56.399> and<00:00:56.480> since<00:00:56.719> they're<00:00:56.879> used<00:00:57.120> so<00:00:57.360> often internet and since they're used so often internet and since they're used so often a lot<00:00:57.840> of<00:00:57.920> times<00:00:58.079> the<00:00:58.160> precise<00:00:58.480> sequence<00:00:58.879> of a lot of times the precise sequence of a lot of times the precise sequence of random<00:00:59.359> characters<00:00:59.760> that<00:00:59.920> are<00:01:00.000> shown<00:01:00.239> to<00:01:00.399> the random characters that are shown to the random characters that are shown to the user<00:01:01.039> is<00:01:01.199> not<00:01:01.359> so<00:01:01.600> fortunate<00:01:02.399> so<00:01:02.559> this<00:01:02.800> is<00:01:02.879> an user is not so fortunate so this is an user is not so fortunate so this is an example<00:01:03.520> from<00:01:03.680> the<00:01:03.920> yahoo<00:01:04.320> registration<00:01:05.040> page example from the yahoo registration page example from the yahoo registration page the<00:01:06.240> random<00:01:06.799> characters<00:01:07.280> that<00:01:07.360> happen<00:01:07.600> to<00:01:07.680> be the random characters that happen to be the random characters that happen to be shown<00:01:08.000> to<00:01:08.080> the<00:01:08.240> user<00:01:08.479> were<00:01:08.640> w-a-i-t<00:01:09.680> which<00:01:09.920> of shown to the user were w-a-i-t which of shown to the user were w-a-i-t which of course<00:01:10.240> spell<00:01:10.479> a<00:01:10.560> word<00:01:11.200> but<00:01:11.360> the<00:01:11.439> best<00:01:11.600> part<00:01:11.840> is course spell a word but the best part is course spell a word but the best part is the the the message<00:01:13.280> that<00:01:13.439> the<00:01:13.520> yahoo<00:01:13.840> helped<00:01:14.080> us<00:01:14.159> got message that the yahoo helped us got message that the yahoo helped us got about<00:01:14.640> 20<00:01:14.880> minutes<00:01:15.200> later

following<00:01:54.479> realization<00:01:55.280> it<00:01:55.439> turns<00:01:55.759> out<00:01:56.079> that following realization it turns out that following realization it turns out that approximately<00:01:56.880> 200<00:01:57.280> million<00:01:57.600> captures<00:01:57.920> are approximately 200 million captures are approximately 200 million captures are typed<00:01:58.320> every<00:01:58.399> day<00:01:58.560> by<00:01:58.719> people<00:01:58.880> around<00:01:59.040> the typed every day by people around the typed every day by people around the world world world okay<00:02:00.640> when<00:02:00.799> i<00:02:00.960> first<00:02:01.200> heard<00:02:01.360> this<00:02:01.600> i<00:02:01.680> was<00:02:01.840> quite okay when i first heard this i was quite okay when i first heard this i was quite proud<00:02:02.159> of<00:02:02.320> myself<00:02:02.640> i<00:02:02.719> thought<00:02:02.880> look<00:02:03.040> at<00:02:03.119> the proud of myself i thought look at the proud of myself i thought look at the impact<00:02:03.520> that<00:02:03.600> my<00:02:03.759> research<00:02:04.079> has<00:02:04.240> had impact that my research has had impact that my research has had but<00:02:05.600> then<00:02:05.840> i<00:02:05.920> started<00:02:06.159> feeling<00:02:06.399> bad<00:02:06.719> so<00:02:06.880> here's but then i started feeling bad so here's but then i started feeling bad so here's the<00:02:07.200> thing<00:02:07.439> each<00:02:07.600> time<00:02:07.759> you<00:02:07.920> type<00:02:08.080> a<00:02:08.160> captcha the thing each time you type a captcha the thing each time you type a captcha essentially<00:02:09.599> you<00:02:09.759> waste<00:02:10.000> 10<00:02:10.239> seconds<00:02:10.560> of<00:02:10.640> your essentially you waste 10 seconds of your essentially you waste 10 seconds of your time time time and<00:02:12.000> if<00:02:12.160> you<00:02:12.239> multiply<00:02:12.560> that<00:02:12.720> by<00:02:12.800> 200<00:02:13.200> million and if you multiply that by 200 million and if you multiply that by 200 million you<00:02:13.599> get<00:02:13.680> the<00:02:13.760> humanity<00:02:14.239> as<00:02:14.319> a<00:02:14.400> whole<00:02:14.640> is you get the humanity as a whole is you get the humanity as a whole is wasting<00:02:15.120> about<00:02:15.280> 500<00:02:15.840> 000<00:02:16.160> hours<00:02:16.480> every<00:02:16.640> day wasting about 500 000 hours every day wasting about 500 000 hours every day typing<00:02:17.120> these<00:02:17.280> annoying<00:02:17.599> captchas typing these annoying captchas typing these annoying captchas so<00:02:19.120> then<00:02:19.360> i<00:02:19.440> started<00:02:19.680> feeling<00:02:20.000> bad so then i started feeling bad so then i started feeling bad and<00:02:22.879> then<00:02:23.120> i<00:02:23.200> started<00:02:23.440> thinking<00:02:23.760> well<00:02:23.920> of and then i started thinking well of and then i started thinking well of course<00:02:24.239> we<00:02:24.319> can't<00:02:24.480> just<00:02:24.640> get<00:02:24.720> rid<00:02:24.879> of<00:02:25.040> captchas course we can't just get rid of captchas course we can't just get rid of captchas because<00:02:25.760> the<00:02:25.920> security<00:02:26.239> of<00:02:26.319> the<00:02:26.400> web<00:02:26.560> sort<00:02:26.720> of because the security of the web sort of because the security of the web sort of depends<00:02:27.120> on<00:02:27.200> them<00:02:27.440> but<00:02:27.599> then<00:02:27.760> i<00:02:27.840> started depends on them but then i started depends on them but then i started thinking<00:02:28.400> is<00:02:28.560> there<00:02:28.720> any<00:02:28.879> way<00:02:29.120> which<00:02:29.360> we<00:02:29.520> can thinking is there any way which we can thinking is there any way which we can use<00:02:29.840> this<00:02:30.160> effort<00:02:30.640> for<00:02:30.720> something<00:02:31.040> that<00:02:31.120> is use this

okay<00:03:04.879> so<00:03:05.040> let<00:03:05.200> me<00:03:05.280> explain to digitize books okay so let me explain to digitize books okay so let me explain how<00:03:05.680> this<00:03:05.840> works<00:03:06.080> so<00:03:06.159> there's<00:03:06.319> a<00:03:06.400> lot<00:03:06.560> of how this works so there's a lot of how this works so there's a lot of projects<00:03:06.879> out<00:03:07.040> there<00:03:07.120> trying<00:03:07.280> to<00:03:07.440> digitize projects out there trying to digitize projects out there trying to digitize books<00:03:08.319> google<00:03:08.640> has<00:03:08.879> one<00:03:09.120> the<00:03:09.200> internet books google has one the internet books google has one the internet archive<00:03:09.920> has<00:03:10.159> one<00:03:10.400> amazon<00:03:10.720> now<00:03:10.879> with<00:03:10.959> the archive has one amazon now with the archive has one amazon now with the kindles<00:03:11.360> trying<00:03:11.599> to<00:03:11.680> digitize<00:03:12.080> books kindles trying to digitize books kindles trying to digitize books basically<00:03:12.879> the<00:03:12.959> way<00:03:13.120> this<00:03:13.200> works<00:03:13.519> is<00:03:13.840> you basically the way this works is you basically the way this works is you start<00:03:14.239> with<00:03:14.400> an<00:03:14.560> old<00:03:15.120> book<00:03:15.360> like<00:03:15.519> a<00:03:15.599> physical start with an old book like a physical start with an old book like a physical thing<00:03:17.040> you've<00:03:17.200> seen<00:03:17.360> those<00:03:17.519> things<00:03:17.680> right thing you've seen those things right thing you've seen those things right like like like okay okay okay so<00:03:21.200> you<00:03:21.360> start<00:03:21.519> with<00:03:21.680> a<00:03:21.760> book<00:03:22.159> and<00:03:22.239> then<00:03:22.560> you so you start with a book and then you so you start with a book and then you scan<00:03:23.040> it<00:03:23.599> now<00:03:23.920> scanning<00:03:24.319> a<00:03:24.400> book<00:03:24.640> is<00:03:24.720> like scan it now scanning a book is like scan it now scanning a book is like taking<00:03:25.200> a<00:03:25.280> digital<00:03:25.680> photograph<00:03:26.159> of<00:03:26.319> every taking a digital photograph of every taking a digital photograph of every page<00:03:26.640> of<00:03:26.720> the<00:03:26.800> book<00:03:27.040> it<00:03:27.120> gives<00:03:27.280> you<00:03:27.360> an<00:03:27.599> image page of the book it gives you an image page of the book it gives you an image for<00:03:28.080> every<00:03:28.239> page<00:03:28.480> of<00:03:28.560> the<00:03:28.640> book<00:03:28.800> this<00:03:28.879> is<00:03:28.959> an for every page of the book this is an for every page of the book this is an image<00:03:29.360> with<00:03:29.599> text<00:03:30.159> for<00:03:30.319> every<00:03:30.480> page<00:03:30.640> of<00:03:30.720> the image with text for every page of the image with text for every page of the book<00:03:31.280> the<00:03:31.360> next<00:03:31.599> step<00:03:31.760> in<00:03:31.920> the<00:03:32.000> process<00:03:32.319> is book the next step in the process is book the next step in the process is that<00:03:32.560> the<00:03:32.640> computer<00:03:33.040> needs<00:03:33.200> to<00:03:33.280> be<00:03:33.360> able<00:03:33.519> to that the computer needs to be able to that the computer needs to be able to decipher<00:03:34.239> all<00:03:34.400> of<00:03:34.480> the<00:03:34.560> words<00:03:34.879> in<00:03:34.959> this<00:03:35.200> image decipher all of the words in this image decipher all of the words in this image that's<00:03:36.000> done<00:03:36.239> using<00:03:36.400> a<00:03:36.480> technology<00:03:36.959> called that's done using a technology called that's done using a technology called ocr<00:03:37.680> for<00:03:37.920> optical<00:03:38.319> character<00:03:38.720> recognition ocr for optical character recognition ocr for optical character recognition which<00:03:39.680> takes<00:03:40.000> a<00:03:40.080> picture<00:03:40.400> of<00:03:40.560> text<00:03:41.280> and<00:03:41.440> tries which takes a picture of text and tries which takes a picture of text and tries to<00:03:41.760> figure<00:03:42.000> out<00:03:42.080> what<00:03:42.239> the<00:03:42.319> text<00:03:42.560> is<00:03:42.720> in<00:03:42.799> there to figure out what the text is in there to figure out what the text is in there now<00:03:43.840> the<00:03:44.080> problem<00:03:44.799> is<00:03:44.879> that<00:03:45.120> ocr<00:03:45.519> is<00:03:45.599> not now the problem is that ocr is not now the problem is that ocr is not perfect<00:03:46.319> especially<00:03:46.799> for<00:03:47.040> older<00:03:47.360> books<00:03:47.680> where perfect especially for older books where perfect especially for older books where the<00:03:48.000> ink<00:03:48.239> has<00:03:48.480> faded<00:03:48.959> and<00:03:49.120> the<00:03:49.200> pages<00:03:49.519> have the ink has faded and the pages have the ink has faded and the pages have turned<00:03:49.920> yellow turned yellow turned yellow ocr<00:03:51.280> cannot<00:03:51.519> recognize<00:03:51.920> a<00:03:52.000> lot<00:03:52.159> of<00:03:52.239> the<00:03:52.319> words ocr cannot recognize a lot of the words ocr cannot recognize a lot of the words for<00:03:52.799> example<00:03:53.040> for<00:03:53.200> things<00:03:53.360> that<00:03:53.440> were<00:03:53.599> in<00:03:53.680> more for example for things that were in more for example for things that were in more than<00:03:54.000> 50<00:03:54.319> years<00:03:54.480> ago<00:03:54.959> the<00:03:55.120> computer<00:03:55.440> cannot than 50 years ago the computer cannot than 50 years ago the computer cannot recognize<00:03:56.159> about<00:03:56.319> 30<00:03:56.799> of<00:03:56.879> the<00:03:56.959> words recognize about 30 of the words recognize about 30 of the words so<00:03:58.000> what<00:03:58.159> we're<00:03:58.319> doing<00:03:58.560> now<00:03:58.720> is<00:03:58.799> we're<00:03:58.959> taking so what we're doing now is we're taking so what we're doing now is we're taking all<00:03:59.439> the<00:03:59.519> words<00:03:59.760> that<00:03:59.840> the<00:03:59.920> computer<00:04:00.239> cannot all the words that the computer cannot all the words that the computer cannot recognize<00:04:01.519> and<00:04:01.680> we're<00:04:01.840> getting<00:04:02.159> people<00:04:02.480> to recognize and we're getting people to recognize and we're getting people to read<00:04:02.879> them<00:04:03.200> for<00:04:03.439> us<00:04:04.000> while<00:04:04.400> they're<00:04:04.640> typing<00:04:04.879> a read them for us while they're typing a read them for us while they're typing a caption<00:04:05.280> on<00:04:05.360> the<00:04:05.439> internet<00:04:06.000> okay<00:04:06.239> so<00:04:06.400> next caption on the internet okay so next caption on the internet okay so next time<00:04:06.720> you<00:04:06.799> type<00:04:06.959> a<00:04:07.040> captcha<00:04:07.360> these<00:04:07.599> words<00:04:07.920> that time you type a captcha these words that time you type a captcha these words that you're<00:04:08.239> typing<00:04:08.799> are<00:04:08.959> actually<00:04:09.360> words<00:04:09.680> that you're typing are actually words that you're typing are actually words that are<00:04:09.920> coming<00:04:10.159> from<00:04:10.319> books<00:04:10.560> that<00:04:10.720> are<00:04:10.799> being are coming from books that are being are coming from books that are being

and<00:04:13.519> now<00:04:13.840> the<00:04:14.000> reason<00:04:14.319> we<00:04:14.480> have<00:04:14.640> two recognize and now the reason we have two recognize and now the reason we have two words<00:04:15.200> nowadays<00:04:15.680> instead<00:04:15.920> of<00:04:16.000> one<00:04:16.320> is<00:04:16.479> because words nowadays instead of one is because words nowadays instead of one is because you<00:04:16.799> see<00:04:16.959> one<00:04:17.120> of<00:04:17.280> the<00:04:17.359> words<00:04:17.759> is<00:04:17.840> a<00:04:17.919> word<00:04:18.160> that you see one of the words is a word that you see one of the words is a word that we<00:04:18.639> that<00:04:18.799> the<00:04:18.959> system<00:04:19.280> just<00:04:19.440> got<00:04:19.680> out<00:04:19.759> of<00:04:19.840> a we that the system just got out of a we that the system just got out of a book<00:04:20.320> you<00:04:20.479> didn't<00:04:20.720> know<00:04:20.880> what<00:04:21.040> it<00:04:21.120> was<00:04:21.359> and book you didn't know what it was and book you didn't know what it was and it's<00:04:21.600> going<00:04:21.680> to<00:04:21.759> present<00:04:22.160>

one<00:04:33.919> for type the correct word for the one for type the correct word for the one for which<00:04:34.240> the<00:04:34.320> system<00:04:34.560> already<00:04:34.880> knows<00:04:35.040> the which the system already knows the which the system already knows the answer<00:04:35.680> it<00:04:35.840> assumes<00:04:36.160> you're<00:04:36.320> human<00:04:36.800> and<00:04:36.960> it answer it assumes you're human and it answer it assumes you're human and it also<00:04:37.280> gets<00:04:37.440> some<00:04:37.680> confidence<00:04:38.080> that<00:04:38.240> you<00:04:38.320> type also gets some confidence that you type also gets some confidence that you type the<00:04:38.639> other<00:04:38.800> word<00:04:38.960> correctly the other word correctly the other word correctly and<00:04:40.560> if<00:04:40.880> we<00:04:41.040> repeat<00:04:41.360> this<00:04:41.520> process<00:04:41.840> to<00:04:41.919> like<00:04:42.080> 10 and if we repeat this process to like 10 and if we repeat this process to like 10 different<00:04:42.560> people<00:04:42.880> and<00:04:43.040> all<00:04:43.199> of<00:04:43.280> them<00:04:43.520> agree different people and all of them agree different people and all of them agree on<00:04:43.919> what<00:04:44.080> the<00:04:44.160> new<00:04:44.320> word<00:04:44.560> is<00:04:44.720> then<00:04:44.880> we<00:04:44.960> get<00:04:45.120> one on what the new word is then we get one on what the new word is then we get one more<00:04:45.520> word<00:04:45.759> digitized<00:04:46.320> accurately<00:04:47.280> so<00:04:47.440> this more word digitized accurately so this more word digitized accurately so this is<00:04:47.680> how<00:04:47.840> the<00:04:48.000> system<00:04:48.320> works<00:04:48.800> and<00:04:49.040> basically is how the system works and basically is how the system works and basically since<00:04:49.759> we<00:04:49.919> released<00:04:50.240> it<00:04:50.400> about<00:04:50.560> three<00:04:50.800> or<00:04:50.880> four since we released it about three or four since we released it about three or four years<00:04:51.280> ago<00:04:51.680> a<00:04:51.759> lot<00:04:52.000> of<00:04:52.080> websites<00:04:52.479> have<00:04:52.560> started years ago a lot of websites have started years ago a lot of websites have started switching<00:04:53.120> from switching from switching from the<00:04:54.160> old<00:04:54.320> capture<00:04:54.639> where<00:04:54.800> people<00:04:54.960> wasted<00:04:55.280> the the old capture where people wasted the the old capture where people wasted the time<00:04:55.600> to<00:04:55.680> the<00:04:55.759> new<00:04:56.000> capture<00:04:56.400> where<00:04:56.560> people<00:04:56.720> are time to the new capture where people are time to the new capture where people are helping<00:04:57.040> to<00:04:57.120> digitize<00:04:57.520> books<00:04:57.919> so<00:04:58.080> for<00:04:58.240> example helping to digitize books so for example helping to digitize books so for example ticketmaster<00:04:59.280> so<00:04:59.440> every<00:04:59.600> time<00:04:59.759> you<00:04:59.840> buy ticketmaster so every time you buy ticketmaster so every time you buy tickets<00:05:00.320> on<00:05:00.400> ticketmaster<00:05:01.040> you<00:05:01.199> have<00:05:01.280> to tickets on ticketmaster you have to tickets on ticketmaster you have to

research<00:07:45.680> agenda<00:07:46.080> so<00:07:46.479> the<00:07:46.720> question<00:07:46.960> that my research agenda so the question that my research agenda so the question that motivates<00:07:47.520> my<00:07:47.680> research<00:07:48.000> is<00:07:48.160> the<00:07:48.240> following motivates my research is the following motivates my research is the following if<00:07:49.120> you<00:07:49.199> look<00:07:49.360> at<00:07:49.440> humanity's<00:07:50.240> large-scale if you look at humanity's large-scale if you look at humanity's large-scale achievements<00:07:51.440> these<00:07:51.680> really<00:07:52.000> big<00:07:52.319> things achievements these really big things achievements these really big things that<00:07:52.720> humanity<00:07:53.199> has<00:07:53.360> gotten<00:07:53.599> together<00:07:53.919> and that humanity has gotten together and that humanity has gotten together and done<00:07:54.319> like<00:07:54.479> historically<00:07:55.360> like<00:07:55.520> for<00:07:55.680> example done like historically like for example done like historically like for example uh<00:07:56.639> building<00:07:56.879> the<00:07:56.960> pyramids<00:07:57.360> of<00:07:57.520> egypt<00:07:58.080> or<00:07:58.479> the uh building the pyramids of egypt or the uh building the pyramids of egypt or the panama<00:07:59.039> canal<00:07:59.520> or<00:07:59.840> putting<00:08:00.080> a<00:08:00.160> man<00:08:00.319> on<00:08:00.400> the panama canal or putting a man on the panama canal or putting a man on the moon moon moon there's<00:08:01.840> a<00:08:01.919> curious<00:08:02.240> fact<00:08:02.479> about<00:08:02.720> them<00:08:03.039> and<00:08:03.199> it there's a curious fact about them and it there's a curious fact about them and it is<00:08:03.440> that<00:08:03.680> they<00:08:03.840> were<00:08:04.000> all<00:08:04.240> done<00:08:04.400> with<00:08:04.560> about is that they were all done with about is that they were all done with about the<00:08:04.879> same<00:08:05.199> number<00:08:05.440> of<00:08:05.599> people<00:08:06.160> it's<00:08:06.319> weird the same number of people it's weird the same number of people it's weird they're<00:08:07.039> all<00:08:07.120> done<00:08:07.360> with<00:08:07.520> about<00:08:07.759> a<00:08:07.840> hundred they're all done with about a hundred they're all done with about a hundred thousand<00:08:08.400> people thousand people thousand people and<00:08:09.440> the<00:08:09.520> reason<00:08:09.840> for<00:08:10.000> that<00:08:10.160> is<00:08:10.319> because and the reason for that is because and the reason for that is because before<00:08:10.800> the<00:08:10.960> internet<00:08:11.840> coordinating<00:08:13.039> more before the internet coordinating more before the internet coordinating more than<00:08:13.360> a<00:08:13.440> hundred<00:08:13.680> thousand<00:08:13.919> people<00:08:14.160> let<00:08:14.319> alone than a hundred thousand people let alone than a hundred thousand people let alone paying<00:08:14.960> them<00:08:15.520> what's<00:08:15.759> essentially paying them what's essentially paying them what's essentially impossible<00:08:16.960> but<00:08:17.120> see<00:08:17.280> now<00:08:17.440> with<00:08:17.520> the<00:08:17.680> internet impossible but see now with the internet impossible but see now with the internet i've<00:08:18.080> just<00:08:18.240> shown<00:08:18.400> you<00:08:18.479> a<00:08:18.639> project<00:08:19.039> where i've just shown you a project where i've just shown you a project where we've<00:08:19.360> gotten<00:08:19.759> 750<00:08:20.560> million<00:08:20.879> people<00:08:21.120> to<00:08:21.280> help we've gotten 750 million people to help we've gotten 750 million people to help us<00:08:21.599> digitize<00:08:22.080> human<00:08:22.400> knowledge<00:08:23.039> so<00:08:23.199> the us digitize human knowledge so the us digitize human knowledge so the question<00:08:23.680> that<00:08:23.759> motivates<00:08:24.160> my<00:08:24.319> research<00:08:24.800> is question that motivates my research is question that motivates my research is if<00:08:25.199> we<00:08:25.360> can<00:08:25.440> put<00:08:25.680> a<00:08:25.759> man<00:08:26.000> on<00:08:26.160> the<00:08:26.240> moon<00:08:26.400> with<00:08:26.560> a if we can put a man on the moon with a if we can put a man on the moon with a hundred<00:08:26.879> thousand<00:08:27.520> what<00:08:27.680> can<00:08:27.840> we<00:08:28.000> do<00:08:28.400> with<00:08:28.639> 100 hundred thousand what can we do with 100 hundred thousand what can we do with 100 million million million so<00:08:30.240> based<00:08:30.479> on<00:08:30.560> this<00:08:30.800> question<00:08:31.039> we've<00:08:31.199> had<00:08:31.440> a so based on this question we've had a so based on this question we've had a lot<00:08:31.680> of<00:08:32.000> different<00:08:32.320> projects<00:08:32.719> that<00:08:32.959> we've lot of different projects that we've lot of different projects that we've been<00:08:33.279> working<00:08:33.519>

web<00:09:08.000> into<00:09:08.240> every<00:09:08.480> major translating the web into every major translating the web into every major language<00:09:09.279> for<00:09:09.440> free language for free language for free okay<00:09:10.640> so<00:09:10.800> there's<00:09:10.959> a<00:09:11.040> lot<00:09:11.200> of<00:09:11.279> things<00:09:11.440> to<00:09:11.519> say okay so there's a lot of things to say okay so there's a lot of things to say about<00:09:11.839> this<00:09:12.000> question<00:09:12.240> first<00:09:12.480> of<00:09:12.560> all about this question first of all about this question first of all translating<00:09:13.279> the<00:09:13.440> web<00:09:13.920> so<00:09:14.240> right<00:09:14.399> now<00:09:14.560> the<00:09:14.640> web translating the web so right now the web translating the web so right now the web is<00:09:15.200> partitioned<00:09:15.680> into<00:09:15.920> multiple<00:09:16.240> languages<00:09:16.880> a is partitioned into multiple languages a is partitioned into multiple languages a large<00:09:17.200> fraction<00:09:17.519> of<00:09:17.680> it<00:09:17.760> is<00:09:17.839> in<00:09:18.000> english<00:09:18.240> if large fraction of it is in english if large fraction of it is in english if you<00:09:18.480> don't<00:09:18.560> know<00:09:18.720> any<00:09:18.880> english<00:09:19.600> you<00:09:19.680> can't you don't know any english you can't you don't know any english you can't access<00:09:20.320> it access it access it but<00:09:21.120> there's<00:09:21.440> large<00:09:21.680> fractions<00:09:22.080> in<00:09:22.160> other but there's large fractions in other but there's large fractions in other different<00:09:22.640> languages<00:09:23.200> and<00:09:23.279> if<00:09:23.440> you<00:09:23.519> don't different languages and if you don't different languages and if you don't know<00:09:23.839> those<00:09:24.000> languages<00:09:24.640> you<00:09:24.800> can't<00:09:24.959> access<00:09:25.279> it know those languages you can't access it know those languages you can't access it so<00:09:25.600> i<00:09:25.680> would<00:09:25.760> like<00:09:25.920> to<00:09:26.000> translate<00:09:26.399> all<00:09:26.560> of<00:09:26.640> the so i would like to translate all of the so i would like to translate all of the web<00:09:27.040> or<00:09:27.200> at<00:09:27.279> least<00:09:27.600> most<00:09:27.839> of<00:09:28.000> the<00:09:28.080> web<00:09:28.640> into web or at least most of the web into web or at least most of the web into every<00:09:29.040> major<00:09:29.360> language<00:09:29.920> okay<00:09:30.080> so<00:09:30.240> that's every major language okay so that's every major language okay so that's that's<00:09:31.360> what<00:09:31.519> i<00:09:31.600> would<00:09:31.680>

we<00:12:09.519> were<00:12:09.760> starting<00:12:10.000> to<00:12:10.079> think<00:12:10.320> about<00:12:10.480> this<00:12:10.639> we we were starting to think about this we we were starting to think about this we were<00:12:10.959> blocked<00:12:11.200> by<00:12:11.279> these<00:12:11.440> two<00:12:11.600> things<00:12:11.760> but were blocked by these two things but were blocked by these two things but then<00:12:12.000> we<00:12:12.160> realized<00:12:12.480> there's<00:12:12.639> actually<00:12:12.880> a<00:12:12.959> way then we realized there's actually a way then we realized there's actually a way to<00:12:13.200> solve<00:12:13.519> both<00:12:13.760> of<00:12:13.839> these<00:12:14.079> problems<00:12:14.399> with<00:12:14.560> the to solve both of these problems with the to solve both of these problems with the same<00:12:14.880> solution<00:12:15.600> there's<00:12:15.839> a<00:12:15.920> way<00:12:16.000> to<00:12:16.160> kill<00:12:16.399> two same solution there's a way to kill two same solution there's a way to kill two birds<00:12:16.959> with<00:12:17.040> one<00:12:17.279> stone birds with one stone birds with one stone and<00:12:18.399> that<00:12:18.639> is<00:12:18.720> to<00:12:18.959> transform<00:12:19.600> language and that is to transform language and that is to transform language translation<00:12:20.639> into<00:12:20.880> something<00:12:21.120> that<00:12:21.360> millions translation into something that millions translation into something that millions of<00:12:21.839> people<00:12:22.160> want<00:12:22.560>
