Allow me to rephrase - "I get what they (CRFs) do " then, at a high-level. Thanks for the video lecture links, I'll definitely look into those.

Sound (and sobering!) advice, thanks.

This is an option, however would have to get quite serious about learning this stuff (balance gain / reward against things like tuition fees, learning in my own time outside of long work hours, etc).

One of the ones that prompted me to post this topic was over here, on the topic of CRF statistical models: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~mccallum/papers/ifcrf-uai2003.pdf From reading it I get most of what it's about, and how they work, but th

Completely agree, and motivation is definitely a factor in how I've directed my own learning previously. Fortunately, my growing interest in this sort of stuff is related to my day job as a coder, and I would definitely be looking to jump i

Deployment on the iTeddy would be amazing as an option when paying. That thing has serious traction. OP should definitely test the water there.

The massive signup overlay on storysomething.com is pretty sucky though -- the OP's site wins hands down on usability and delayed registration. I love sites that let me use functionality to play around and create, and then allow me to regis

For a case-by-case basis, check out the Printliminator -- really neat use of JS & CSS to hide pesky elements http://css-tricks.com/examples/ThePrintliminator/ Now if this could be scripted with greasemonkey! Imagine getting rid of a f

Would also recommend Pydev: http://pydev.org/ - an Eclipse plugin bringing Python and Jython support. The debugging leaves a bit to be desired, but has interesting stuff like code completion.

I wonder if you'll have collaborative lists -- so you can invite others to contribute to your 'spambot' list, and then get to that list through the API for preferential treatment of tweets you receive.

Quick question -- if I donate a few £ to the guy, can I link it with my Steam account? I'm kinda losing patience for games I can't manage through steam. Am guessing that Steam won't take licence keys for copies not bought through their serv

I bet most companies would have strategies for this type of stuff (stealing sales, recruiting team members from competitors) -- even if it's not explicit documents such as the one in the OP. I think if the product is good enough to get th

Yeah, £1.19 seems a bit too steep when I can instantly fire up Safari on my iPhone and view the full hn for free.

Ah, it seems the iPhone one 'barCodes' based on zXing only supports QR barcodes. Eep.

by Torn 17y ago
Are there any iPhone apps that will read traditional barcodes such as the one on the Google homepage? All the ones I've seen seem to either only read the fancy 2D datamatrix-type ones, or go off to some price comparison webservice and don't

One could also argue (without data saying either way) the opposite: that repeated exposure to this sort of thing just serves to desensitise and feel less guilt. Note: I don't actually think that there's a causal link between violent media
