Google DeepMind Teaches Artificial Intelligence Machines to Read (http://www.technologyreview.com/view/538616/google-deepmind-teaches-artificial-intelligence-machines-to-read/)

A revolution in artificial intelligence is currently sweeping through computer science. The technique is called deep learning and it’s affecting everything from facial and voice to fashion and economic.
But one area that has not yet benefitted is natural language processing ..
...
Today, that changes thanks to the work of Karl Moritz Hermann at Google DeepMind in London and a few pals. These guys say the special way that the Daily Mail and CNN write online news articles allows them to be used in this way. And the sheer volume of articles available online creates for the first time, a database that computers can use to learn and then answer related about. In other words, DeepMind is using Daily Mail and CNN articles to teach computers to read.

They need to add Computer Hope to the data base. :P
