I am trying to learn German and gender is infuriating there. Why? Because you can't simply scan an existing sentence and color-code the words based upon simple heuristics to guess the gender. The first thing you learn is that three gen

So I'm in the market for this, but what if you shut down while I'm on vacation and not checking my email? I know that fastmail will be in business in two years, but I'm not so sure about you. If you offered some sort of auto-

Okay, so this project sounds exciting. But it's really hard to figure out what is currently possible and how to get started. (I find this ironic for a project that is focused on improving communication.) Here is where I am after jumpin

"Private repositories on free accounts are limited to three collaborators apiece." So let's be clear here. If I have 10 private repos, I can have 30 collaborators? Or they must be the same three.

My friend has a deceptively simple answer to this question: If you put schmear/spread/sauce on the bread, it's a sandwich. If you put schmear/spread/sauce on the "meat", it's not a sandwich. The disti

Is your difficulty simply following through on tasks? Do you also have difficulty finding enough time, and prioritizing your backlog of todo items? How does the service help in this case?

So I'm still trying to grok this, but this could be a very important result if it could be generalized to the problem of meta-learning and model selection. In that setting, the model selection oracle could access a shared knowledge poo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think NLTK has ever had state of the art anything.

"I have found LSTM is little overkill for NER, as your entities are limited and data will not be very huge." Incorrect. Inducing word representations on a huge corpus, like Common Crawl, can be more effective than manually buildin

This does named-entity recognition tagging, which is harder. Also POS results are still not that good on out-of-vocabulary words, so using a word representation that includes sub-word ngrams (like FB Fasttext) can improve results on OOV wor

I seem to recall that NSynth and Wavenet are only operating at 16Khz mono, or perhaps it was even lower. Are we now able to generate full 44.1Khz sound?

For someone curious about synthesis, but intimidated by modulars: Is this the right place to start for a beginner? Or is modular more for advanced folks? How do you learn about the world of synthesis to start?

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. WARC tooling is pretty terrible. I hack data and text for a living and working with WARC was extremely difficult compared to the simplicity of what I was trying to do. Something that would ha

I don't want to diminish your experience at all. But here's my story: I learned to read and write by playing Sierra games. I played them with my dad. And I guess I wanted to be able to play them alone. So the crappy text parsing

Actually, it does make sense to have packs that are structured in a particular way. For example, I am learning German. I would rather have a pack with the 25 most frequent nouns, 25 most frequent verbs, and maybe 25 most frequent adjectives
