For me, it's very clear how work/life balance is affected by working at home vs. working at the office. If I work at the office all the time, my home slowly becomes a mess: I'm always running late and I don't have time t

My experience: Twitter has been very useful to get to know influencial people in my line of work. Also, to practice concise expression of ideas. The problem is, Twitter is not very actionable. Yeah, the CEO of X company now follows you. Wha

Can you ellaborate on this please? My goal is to work in text processing professionally, I have the intuition that text should 'learn' its own features. I'm learning Python, reading about machine learning and practicing my co

The other day I was searching about the best way to automatically detect patterns in data. Then I checked my email and I had received a "Quora Session recap" type of newsletter (I don't get or read those often). The content o

Do you do some kind of text processing, before or after sending the words to Google Translate? Do you analyze the translation mistakes, in order to iteratively improve the results? How much do you pay for the API?

Nice observation. Sadly, localization is an afterthought for a lot of developers. I am also curious to see how they handle other languages and locales, since I'm interested in learning how to use these kinds of systems.

Yes, I guess computers are better than us at deciding how to organize characters in words, judging by the author's typos: 'liklihood', 'Mathematiacally', 'langauge', 'immitate', 'somehwat&#x

The author makes no considerations about writing for the web. He would hate to hear that, of course, but there's no way I am going to read that. Well, maybe if I feed it into a summarization app, maybe. ;)

That website... where is the volume control? And if I want to re-watch the clip, I have to re-watch the damn 25 second long commercial! And I have to sign up in order to comment. Horrible website.

I have lost the ability to read a long piece. I feel frustrated when I go to the news site and I am presented with a 'narrative' that seems to hide the real information. I need a paragraph that tells me straight forward what this

What you guys do is awesome. I'm interested in machine translation. I know python and NLTK. I have a grasp of statistics, I'm learning everyday more. Will I be able to design a domain-specific machine translation system with Watso

I'm by no means an expert, I'm just a linguist that's been learning python and NLTK for a little while. I would assume the demos don't show the potential of the technology. This kind of tech shines when you customize it

I'm never sure how to understand fines like this one. I don't believe they actually pay that money. Why aren't there follow-up stories that explain how the payment process was like? Do the deposit the money? They write a chec
