What we learned from 5 million books | Video on TED.com
Have you seen this? There's a lot here most of us don't know. For example, have you ever thought of reading books with collective number of 500 billion words (which is what the number of words in 5 million books published so far)? Well, it is highly impractical to read 5 million books. But there's a way of doing this, using Google Lab's Ngram Viewer. I don't know what this is, but here are Erez Lieberman Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel, Harvard University Researchers, to explain how this works, citing their work at Harvard as a means of explaining this methodology. View this TED.com lecture. Enjoy.
