Using Google’s search by image feature to return similar images
http://images.google.com/imghp?hl=en
With Google you can search by image. But it gets really interesting when you upload an image that is not available on the internet and look at the set of similar images returned. Or if you use a common image but just view the visually similar results. For example, here is a protein molecule (http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/ferritin.jpg)
Here are similar image results returned by Google.
You can also restrict the results to faces:

They can talk with each other… sort of.
Last spring I made a project that lets you talk with chatbots using speech recognition and synthesis. https://reactivemusic.net/?p=4710.
Yesterday I managed to get two instances of this program, running on two computers, using two chatbots, to talk with each other, through the air. Technical issues remain (see below). But there were moments of real interaction.
In the original project, a human pressed button in Max to start and stop recording speech. This has been automated. The program detects and records speech, using audio level sensing. The auto-recording sensor turns on a switch when the level hits a threshold, and turns off after a period of silence. Threshold level and duration of silence can be adjusted by the user. There is also a feedback gate that shuts off auto-record while the computer is converting speech to text, and ‘speaking’ a reply.
Alternative pathways prevent circular collapse.
