Natural language generation is also an NLP task, but this particular library doesn't seem to tackle it at the moment.

Summing up your wife's experience with the one in the article, perhaps what employers like the least is the ambiguity of getting a CV where they don't know if the applicant is male or female? I do know I have felt somewhat embarra

I totally believed this comment, completed the game and liked it, but am slightly disappointed about not having built pyramids and fought pharaohs :)

I voted for Google Code because even if it's not the most full-featured tracker, it's the one with which I get non-techie users to actually report issues. There are no complicated required fields, just name and description, and it

Booting by default into an inferior environment and not having the chance to change that default sounds like a massive issue to me. Maybe not massive from the developers' point of view (they can probably revert it just from tweaking a flag

As a Java game engine developer, I can say it's still a problem with Java. Sound mixing will work or not depending on people's installed sound system, sound cards, Linux distro, and a plethora of other factors I don't understand (and appare

In Europe, when we only need to cover a short distance like a mile, we typically use an antique means of transport called "walking".

I had a Thinkpad with a 15.4-inch 1920x1200 screen, back when such wonders existed, and I had no big problems with its 150 DPI running Windows XP, even less with Windows 7. Yes, there were some really old applications that wouldn't react to

It's surprising that the article doesn't mention the absolutely over-the-top security procedures in American airports. I've been to Changi and Incheon, security was fast and smooth, and then you had waiting spaces with comfortable armchairs

Curious. I've seen some more people saying this... and the game being not a MMO is precisely the reason I've just pledged. Don't get me wrong, I love MMOs, but they're not only games, they're designer drugs. I keep away from them because

Some years ago, I had to do several personal development courses. Most of them were absolutely useless (at least to me), but one I found tremendously useful in various job and life settings. It was a course about assertiveness (and, in part

Not surprising... the second most-voted bug in Google Code, reported exactly a year ago ( http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=24324 ) deplores the removal of a feature that was already there (the Updates page) and was the si

I think you might not have read the article, because the proposal is rather simple and reasonable. Laws are often written with links to other laws that are required to understand them. Some laws are even "diffs" of other laws: "Paragraph 5

Wow, so people seriously thing that saying "I am not a terrorist" is reason enough to kick someone out of a plane? I honestly will never understand how a one-time attack carried out a decade ago could throw the American society off its rock

These GDP data appear frequently in this kind of discussions, but percent of GDP is a meaningless metric in practice. I have been to Sweden and to the US often and it's pretty obvious in day-to-day life that the state is much more involved

I have a Java free software project that started back in 2001, and my users are very unhappy about all this BS from Oracle. I don't have the time or the willpower to port everything to a different language, so "just tell people to uninstall

This happens to me sometimes in Opera, Chrome and Firefox, and it's extremely irritating. I remember the good old days when dual-core processors were just starting to become mainstream, and browsers would just use one core. The browser coul

Wow, the pessimism. I did my PhD and now have a tenure-track position. I can relate to all the obstacles described in the post (except for discrimination - at least in my country, if you want to find racist/sexist/homophobic employers, you'

If they allowed that, almost all sellers would do it for security, and then there would be no ways for buyers to get any feedback. In fact, when I was placing my first bids on eBay, some buyers would cancel the auction or retract the bids b
