In 2004, Brock and I had a conference call with Prof. George A. Miller of Princeton University and a team of his researchers.
It was a very interesting call or many reasons.
Our interest was the M Dictionary. At the time, I do not think we knew that Prof. Miller had published the most widely quoted article in the history of psychology. The article deals with the concept of chunking and the constraints on working memory for humans.
This provides more information:
In addition, he developed WordNet.
Fellbaum, F., Ed. 1998. WordNet: An Electronic Lixical Database (Language, Speech, and Communication. 1st Ed. The MIT Press.
Taking an imaginative view, I think there are many applications or WordNet that are yet to be discovered. The conference calls with Prof. Miller were very nice. I wish The Data Center Program would have done more to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity in 2004.
