What is Machine Reading? Will machines emulate human reading? Or will Machine Reading be analogous to Computer Chess---a radically non-human approach to the game that achieved super-human performance? My talk will speculate on these questions, and then describe our KnowItAll project, which investigates the challenges of ''reading the Web''.
