You can harvest any data that you want, on anybody. You can infer any data that you like, and you can use it to manipulate them in any way that you choose. And you can roll out an algorithm that genuinely makes massive differences to people's lives, both good and bad, without any checks and balances.

Deep reading refers to a whole continuum of processes that include some of the most important things about thinking and how we connect thought to what we read - critical analysis, analogical reasoning, how we infer from the text, how do we take another's perspective.

Isaac Newton

The hypothesis of matter's being at first evenly spread through the heavens is, in my opinion, inconsistent with the hypothesis of innate gravity without a supernatural power to reconcile them, and therefore, it infers a deity.

Charles Inglis

If notwithstanding, a Rebellion of the same Kind now afflicts this Country, we should not infer that this Institution is useless, or should be laid aside; but just the Reverse.

Bigger stories are made out of longer acquaintance with fact and character, but I also love the tiny stories in which almost everything has to be inferred and imagined.

Motive may be inferred only when the stimuli in the agent's environment are open to view and the influences leading an agent to a particular action can be evaluated.

American Scientist

That man is the noblest creature may also be inferred from the fact that no other creature has yet contested this claim.

By monitoring auroral activity on exoplanets, we may be able to infer the presence of water on or within an exoplanet.

Peter R. Grant

We observe closely related species in sympatry and infer how they evolved from a common ancestor.

David Draiman

We are a metal band, period. To me, the 'nu' part infers some sort of a rap influence.

When you infer, look for context clues in the surrounding text that hint at the underlying meaning or conclusion.

Context Clues

Use 'infer' when conclusions are not directly stated, requiring interpretation of the available information.

No Clear Statement

In academic contexts, inferring involves a logical process to reach a conclusion based on evidence or premises.

Logical Process

When inferring in technical fields, always ensure your inference is backed by credible and relevant evidence.

Evidence Based

In everyday language, 'infer' often means making an educated guess about something not explicitly mentioned.

Educated Guess

Inferences can sometimes be incorrect; they are best guesses, not certainties.

Uncertainty Involved

Use 'infer' when someone implies something subtly without saying it directly, and you pick up on that implication.

Subtle Implication

Be aware of cultural differences in communication; what might be inferred in one culture could be missed in another.

 to avoid some of the difficulty. But we actually have a much deeper understanding of this. We could take all of the data that the cars have seen over time, the hundreds of thousands of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles that have been out there and understand what they look like and use that to infer what other vehicles should look like and other pedestrians should look like.

 Research in social psychology suggests that we're quick to form lasting impressions of others based on their behaviors. We manage to do this with little effort, inferring stable character traits from a single behavior, like a harsh word or a clumsy step. Using our impressions as guides, we can accurately predict

 Now we take those human demonstrations -- they're all noisy and imperfect -- and we extract from them an inferred task trajectory and control sequence for the robot. We then execute that on the robot, we observe what happens, then we adjust the controls, using a sequence of techniques called iterative learning.

 Normally, in game playing, you would really write down all the rules, but in AlphaGo's case, the system looked over a million games and was able to infer its own rules and then beat the world's residing Go champion. That is exciting, because it relieves the software engineer of the need of being super smart,

 The existence of dark matter can be inferred based on its gravitational pull on the visible universe. According to some scientists, this force is what prevents stars within galaxies from drifting away. Dark matter may have also played a role in the creation of the cosmos.
