Warren Weaver, PhD (July 17, 1894 – November 24, 1978) was an American scientist, mathematician, and science administrator. He is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of machine translation, and as an important figure in creating support for science in the United States.
Weaver received three degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison: a Bachelor of Science in 1916, a civil engineering degree in 1917, and a Ph.D. in 1921. He became an assistant professor of mathematics at Throop College (now California Institute of Technology). He served as a second lieutenant in the Air Service during World War I. After the war, he returned to teach mathematics at Wisconsin (1920–32). Weaver married Mary Hemenway, one of his fellow students at Wisconsin, a few years after their graduation. They had a son, Warren Jr., and a daughter, Helen.
Weaver was director of the Division of Natural Sciences at the Rockefeller Foundation (1932–55), and was science consultant (1947–51), trustee (1954), and vice president (from 1958) at the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. His chief researches were in the problems of communication in science and in the mathematical theory of probability and statistics.

From the seeds in the flower under your nose to the flow of the wind around you and the flock of swallows overhead, some patterns keep occurring again and again. The essence of mathematics is a series of simple rules that produce complex consequences. And nowhere are these complex consequences more apparent than in the natural world. In 1948, Warren Weaver identified what he called complex systems. These are systems where individual parts act independently of each other, while still following a set of simple rules. (Part 3...

Before we took a look at some important computer mediated communication theories we highlighted the Shannon-Weaver model, and how people interact through online communities.
En este vídeo explicamos de manera detallada como funciona el esquema de la comunicación según los teoricos Shannon y Weaver. Tarea de Universidad. :v Espero y les sirva de algo.

Lenka Hudecová Claude Shannon a Warren Weaver - Matematická teória komunikácie
November 12, 2007: Paul Weaver (Director of Development, Junction Point Studios) "I'm teaching a course at the university of Texas, where I've been inviting -- well -- gaming luminaries to talk to me for three hours, from the perspective of, "Hey -- I've known you for 20 years, don't try to con me and let's talk about the stuff that typically doesn't get talked about." It's part of an oral history project -- because we are all still alive. Well, not all of us -- Dani Bunten's gone and a couple of others. But we're getting to the point where the pioneers are not going to be here forever. We need to get it recorded for future generations before it's lost, in the same way that lots of early film history is lost. Gone. Never known. I don't want that to happen to us, as I really believe that v...
Keith Warren travels to the great state of Alabama to visit one of the state's most respected deer farms. It’s all about animal husbandry and learning more about whitetail deer. Rusty Weaver, owner of Weaver Two Whitetails, will show Keith what it takes to grow giant whitetails in sweet home Alabama. Weaver also discusses how deer farming helps keep his family stay strong. Additionally, you’ll see what could be the largest buck that has ever lived in the state of Alabama.

Language Translation and Code-Breaking In 1949, information theorist Warren Weaver suggested applying code-breaking methods to the problem of automatic language translation. He said: "When I look at an article in Russian, I say: this is really written in English, but it has been coded in some strange symbols. I will now proceed to decode". Weaver's inspiration has borne fruit in this century, as statistical techniques have enabled us to build translation systems for many languages, with increasing accuracy. But other fruitful connections between code-breaking and translation are only starting to emerge. We will examine some, including the solution to the Copiale Cipher, a previously-undeciphered manuscript from the early 1700s. Kevin Knight is a Senior Research Scientist and Fellow at t...

The Internet Society - NY Chapter (ISOC-NY) & the Open Infrastructure Alliance (OIA) present a 25th Anniversary Assessment of the Breakup of AT&T; The goal of this conference was to outline the history of the last 25 years, discuss the current market issues, then give a view of the future of broadband and telecom in the US that has been mostly untold in the media. It is a future that leads to ubiquitous, very high speed networks based on an infrastructure that is open to all competitors -- giving customers choice, lower prices and new quality products and innovative services. And widely acknowledged as critical for long term economic growth. How does America get gigabit, open and ubiquitous, broadband telecom infrastructure? EVENT: Has Divestiture Worked?

To the sound of shotgun fire
he rides into the horizon and disappears
like a ghost in the night
like a shadow without a place to find some peace
He's on the run
He is a real son of a gun
But there's no turning back
He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
His name is Young Blood
On a trail to the shady land
And he's hunted by the lawman right behind
He tried to prove his innocence
But all he got was another bounty on his head
On the run
He is a real son of a gun
But there's no turning back
He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
His name is Young Blood
He's a wanted man
a long way from home
He's a wanted man
