UNCERTAINTY DETECTED?
Developers of AI often use Wikipedia and Wikidata as training material for their applications, because it is the only corpus available that is large, well structured, multi-lingual, peer-reviewed, up-to-date and free to use. Mapping language to a computer model is still an experimental practice which requires compromises and contains many grey zones. An Mertens guides you through a self learning algorithm showing the different stages of the process, while the algorithm tries to detect uncertain zones in the texts she feeds it with.

Guest performer: Zora, a humanoid "girl" robot, developed to perform in residential care centers, in schools with autistic children and in various types of hospitals, trained by Tom Rottinghuis to become a member of the team of the Muntpunt library.
