  "Data that does not change your beliefs is not surprising," says itti
  
  So they created a method to determine what peoples beliefs are, analyzed it and created a method for determining what would and wouldn't be a normal belief?
  
  Hmmm, sounds like they are working on a method to reach a specific demographic based on beliefs instead of the norm, i.e. male, female, age, and locality?

  No Subject Given

  There's not enough in that article to make a meaningful critique, but it really depends on the assumptions that their model makes for it to be applicable. All mathematical models -- representations of reality -- are bounded with assumptions, and it's when those assumptions start significantly oversimplifying the complexities of the real world that we start scoffing at the models. Whether this one is breakthrough or just something to get published, we can't tell without reading the paper.

    Here is a presentation from a conference: http://www.cnse.caltech.edu/Industry/Conferences/2004/AIC/pdf/Laurent-Itti.pdf
    
    This looks like the actual article:
