Is this often done? Can you provide a reference explaining this further? Possibly specific to ML models.

That's interesting. Any source? I live in the northeastern part of the United States and it's rare for me to see a speed limit above 65 mph.

I couldn't understand how it works. Are they supposed to be merged on one page or on two separate pages?

If you're trying to learn about deep learning, I highly suggest using Python(Theano) or Lua(Torch). They're free and used by the experts in the field for research.

Even if you don't want to use the frameworks, you'll still have access to fast linear algebra routines.

That's right; we can't know for sure and I'm sure you'll get some backlash for this comment. As with everything though, we need a balance.

If we say that we can't know for sure and give up, then no advancements would ever be made in any field. On the other hand, we should recognize that science does not claim to provide us with certainty. Many of us speaking "objectively" with scientific "facts" often become emotional and arrogant when speaking to anyone who doesn't agree with our conclusions.

How many words do you think the entire web, as crawled by Google, has?

I can say pretty certainly that all the text they've gathered through the Google Books project is in use in their language models and other AI models for their search engine, speech recognition, etc.

They got what they wanted. I can't see what incentive they have as a business to grant access to the books that justifies paying employees for it.

I think you'll agree that there's a big jump from being able to access an API X times a day to having access to a data dump.
