Hi JRB. I haven't got a clue as to what 'the other' forum is, but I've enjoyed reading this thread which is so expansive, it is gobble de gook at first , but one gets the drift of it. I like the way you make your stand for the locals.Well, there was some talk about a sitcom on this forum and I 'd felt for some time that I owed Nath21 a poem, but at the mo, I'd start with a short script...JR8 wrote:Thx for that.
I've been on the web for many a year. Used to spar, (cough) I mean debate, with the PAP-Youth stooges on soc.culture.singapore as long ago as '94
So once I get the particular vibe here, I'm looking forward to settling in and contributing...
Yeah you know the thing with the 'other forum', is the the arrogance and disdain shown to their members. I have never experienced anything like it before.
It is weird. For example their main board is sub-titled inviting 'brick-bats and bouquets'. But if you recommend anything they delete your post. So, ask about a decent hotel to stay in for a few weeks, get 10 answers, and before you can even write them down, poof!, topic deleted. Rec a great company you used to buy an appetiser for Xmas day lunch, poof! topic gone. Totally mad. Today was even madder, the Admins utter upper-case public glee at deleting a subscribers post.
As you can see I am still puzzled and confused, but will breath deeply and try and chill

One of the stuff we have been working on has been sentiment analysis - trying to determine whether references to a product mention on the web is positive or negative.
Once we refine our algorithms ... I will give you first dibs on stock options before we IPO.
Cheers, beenthere, though some feminist linguists will argue that gender bias runs deep in the structure of our language, positioning females as always, inferior to men; or simply overruling them.beenthere wrote:@Asian_Geekette
- Yes, our focus is on English language texts. Bur much of these text-analytics algorithms are based on statistics and probabilities and could be used to build similar systems on other language. As long as these languages have a grammar and large collections of texts to run analyses - the adaptation would be a few PhD theses away.
@AnneTeoh - These days overlord is gender-neutral; over to you lady.
@nakatago - you shall one day be part of the matrix.
