Do you think written Standard English is less ambiguous than any other English, or written language? Because I don't see why that would be the case.

You are only talking about supervised learning. And the bias people are probably talking about is bias in the data, not bias in the "input", as you put it. See http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06520 for a counterex

Do you know what ever happened to the Encoder? I used to be so excited as a kid when a new issue came out.

"music is waves and frequency" in the same way that "spoken language is waves and frequency"---not very usefully. I think bringing in" appreciation" muddies the waters.

"Live their lives". Sounds like an exaggeration for something as inconsequential (as you suggest) as pronouns.

No, this is not what people mean when they say "Fourier series" which is something like "the Fourier series expansion of a periodic function". It's not about whether the values are continuous or discrete, but instea

I understand you might find this cliche cute, but it's actually not even cute. Gay men challenge what it means to be a "man", that's what can make people uncomfortable.

French is a particularly poor example to choose. ASL has been continuously delegitimized as a language. Up until the 60s no one thought ASL was a "real" language, or a language as rich as English, because no one was studying the g

This project has been bothering me for (what feels like) months and I am glad to see there was an official response by the linguistics department of UW. How'd you find it? By politics, do you mean that the letter mentions the social is

Interesting. I'll ask around about that. However, I think it's fair to say that a rudimentary system like this one is scripted, and is not tuned to the informal and complicated contexts you describe. You can argue that it's f

I'm not sure how close you are to working with RL/ML, possibly more than me! However, I don't think you it is useful to talk about the state of the field so broadly. If you say "supervised learning is well understood&quo

Yes it matters. I didn't say anything about a standard. I don't mean that "there isn't an agreed upon notation that Deaf Americans use to write ASL", I mean "we don't have a good way represent signs that a

Actually, the distinction (that I've seen) between "translator" and "interpreter" is whether the "transformation" is happening in real-time across spoken/sign language, or whether it's written la

It could be worth mentioning that, for thinning points, ideally you'd use a circle, so that points are thinned equally in all directions. When you use a square, diagonal lines are thinned more (by a factor of sqrt(2)) than horizontal&#

If you are talking about phonological categories, then you are almost certainly correct. However, somewhere between choosing to produce certain phonemes and the actual sounds you produce, there's some process (maybe just the physics of
