No problem with creating a new thematic mailing list here but the above is somewhat insulting to those who have in the past discussed bot mapping in OSM on a serious level. The impression i have is that there are a few people discussing the matter on a principal level (usually from a sociological, epistemological, ethical or generally philosophical standpoint) and practical users and developers of such techniques - and almost zero in depth communication between these domains. Could you by the way explain the term "automated statistics" - i had not heard this before and a quick search returns a lot of uses of this term in the context of database systems, which i however have the impression is not what you are talking about. Most terms in this field are politically connotated - "artificial intelligence" implying a similarity to human intelligence, "machine learning" implying a similarity to human learning processes. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
