<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2014422, member: 112"]Yeah I understand now, but that only makes it worse. If you are not programming in grading criteria at all, then what exactly do you program in ? There has to be a program or the computer can't do anything. What you are assuming is that the computer will learn how to grade by merely "looking" at coins that are already graded. There's a couple problems with that idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, you can't even teach humans to grade with that method, and they can think. So how can you expect a machine to do it ? Secondly, the coins that are being used, somebody has to grade them. So do you use coins all graded by one person or by many different people ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the idea of the computer system you are proposing is to remove the subjectivity from the grading system, right ? So that would mean that you could only have 1 person do the grading on all coins. Otherwise this computer that can supposedly learn, would learn the very subjectivity that you are trying to get rid of. So let's say you do have 1 person do all the grading. The only thing the computer can "learn", assuming it can learn at all, is to grade coins the same way that 1 person does. But even that 1 person's grade is still subjective. And then what happens when half or more than half of all the people in the market disagree with the grades assigned by the computer ?</p><p><br /></p><p>You'd be right back to where we are now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
