And in the same way many of us are now wearing sensors that detect our heart rate,
同樣的方式，我們現在很多人都使用穿戴式偵測器，可以偵測我們的心跳、
our respiration, our genes, on the hopes that this may help us prevent diseases,
呼吸、基因，讓我們可以預防疾病的發生，
we can ask whether monitoring and analyzing the words we speak, we tweet, we email, we write,
我們是否已可以藉由偵測分析我們所說的話、推的文、郵寄的信、寫的文字，
can tell us ahead of time whether something may go wrong with our minds.
來提前告訴我們，我們的心智可能要發生問題了？
And with Guillermo Cecchi, who has been my brother in this adventure, we took on this task.
我跟我的兄弟，吉列爾莫·切基，扛起了這項任務。
And we did so by analyzing the recorded speech of 34 young people
我們紀錄分析了34位年輕人的談話。
who were at a high risk of developing schizophrenia.
他們過去曾經是罹患精神分裂癥的高風險族群。
And so what we did is, we measured speech at day one,
我們測量了他們第一天的談話，
and then we asked whether the properties of the speech could predict,
然后問計算機，從他們的話中是否可以預測出，
within a window of almost three years, the future development of psychosis.
未來三年內，他們會不會精神錯亂。
But despite our hopes, we got failure after failure.
但我們大失所望，一次又一次的失敗。
There was just not enough information in semantics to predict the future organization of the mind.
因為沒有足夠的語義信息來預測未來的心智發展。
It was good enough to distinguish between a group of schizophrenics and a control group,
它在分辨精神病患及控制組上已經有足夠的能力，
a bit like we had done for the ancient texts,
因為這有點像我們之前做古文字的分析，
but not to predict the future onset of psychosis.
但沒辦法預測未來精神錯亂的發病。
