Yes, it was insulting. I am sorry. However, I don't think this
conversation is going anywhere. There are many, many examples just of
the use of SVD and PCI that I think meet your criteria. The one I
mentioned earlier, to you, that uses SVD on word-pair similarities,
and scores at human-level on the SAT, is an example. There are
thousands of examples.
Hmmm. We're definitely in very different realms and are currently talking
past each other. I guess that I'm having trouble seeing how you would think
that SVD is at all human-incomprehensible. Training SVD on a given corpus
produces a set of word pairs and their similarity distances through a very
simple algorithm. SVD taking the SAT simply involves four or five database
lookups (assuming that there are four or five answers) for each question and
taking the answer with the smallest distance. What is incomprehensible
about that? Why *can't* I debug a wrong answer (assuming that I have access
to the training corpus)?

I'm sorry but either you didn't understand my point or you don't know
what you are talking about (and the constant terseness of your replies
gives
me absolutely no traction on assisting you). If you would provide just
one
example and state why you believe it refutes my point, then you'll give
me
something to answer -- as it is, you're making a meaningless assertion of
no
value that I can't even begin to respond to (not to mention the point
that
contending/assuming that I've overlooked several thousand examples is
pretty
insulting).
