This is a recognized problem and is called Word Sense Disambiguation. It's hard but not intractable. One issue is that such sentences are themselves ambiguous and even human readers may disagree on their meaning. A statistical syste

I'm stealing one of those to use as my avatar. For some inexplicable reason, I find this earth-shatteringly fascinating. If such a bewildering array of patterns can be found in random noise, maybe all patterns -- our attempts to ascri

This is a reasonable reply and I appreciate the very relevant data points. I think you're correct that speed limits are designed knowing that most people will exceed them slightly. I'm curious if there are any studies that have a

I may be a fool, but will fight anyway... It's not impossible to change these kinds of social mores. A generation ago, no self-respecting red-blooded American male would wear a seatbelt, I mean that's just not manly! But now we

I agree that camera ticketing removes a key constitutional protection, and I don't mean to detract from the issue raised in the article. The issue with "if no one is around they don't need enforcement" is that it implie

Point taken. Mine is definitely a reactionary tangent that I hope not to undermine the very important point of the article. I agree that especially in Montgomery, the traffic camera enforcement is overreaching. My response was more to hig

I was with the author until reading this unfortunate quote: > Traffic camera laws are popular in part because they appeal to a law-and-order impulse. If we are going to stop those nefarious evildoers who jeopardize the health of the repu

I grew up with English and when I read that sentence, to me it means that there is a fat cat sitting on a mat. Not sure what point was trying to be made here.

There's more than enough real news to be upset about. With all the focus on email hacking, why no furor over the stolen $100mn? In the meantime we hear sob stories about the consulate chef being deported. Poor guy! Hard to feel bad

Anyone else just slightly concerned that the phrasing of the bill essentially identifies both Russia and China as enemies? This just doesn't seem to make much diplomatic sense.

Thank you, that is excellent advice. I didn't consider the utility of ongoing communication and you're absolutely right about setting appropriate expectations with everyone, especially those I may not deal with on a daily basis.

I definitely agree: the overuse of techniques like logistic regression in introductory courses without sufficient mathematical background and context can lead to a "plug and chug" culture where the technique is applied without pro

I think that says more about Facebook than it does about Uber. Not to derail the conversation but it's entirely possible that FB will be gone in ten years. They already have a demographic problem: far lower penetration among younger

The pedestrian was at fault for not installing Uber's app. This gives new meaning to the term "god mode"... "Install our app, or DIE!"

Spacy is awesome. The API is clean and powerful. I have been using it heavily over the past few months, using it almost exclusively for feature extraction now. I'm currently working on extracting subject-verb-object tuples, which is
