«Nella casa del sor Zucchina
  la mano destra sta in cucina
  la mano sinistra sta in cantina,
  le gambe in camera da letto
  e la testa esce dal tetto.»

``Sentiment analysis disappointment'', Mark Liberman
<http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=33225>
----------------------------------------------------
Tutto nasce da un questionario dell'Università del Quinnipiac: `Qual è la prima
parola che ti viene in mente quando pensi a Donald Trump?'. 46 parole sono state
ripetute da almeno 5 persone che hanno risposto al questionario. Mark Liberman
di Language Log si è avventurato nella Sentiment analysis di tutto ciò!
Tra i data set utilizzati (Hedonmeter list di Peter Dodds et al.,
SentiWordNet e EMOLEX) salta fuori che molti non soltanto sono piuttosto
incompleti ma risultano anche inconsistenti.


``Great paper? Swipe right on the new 'Tinder for preprints' app'', Dalmeet Singh Chawla
<http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/06/great-paper-swipe-right-new-tinder-preprints-app>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 «If you're tired of swiping left and right to approve or reject the faces of
  other people, try something else: rating scientific papers. A web application
  inspired by the dating app Tinder lets you make snap judgments about
  preprints - papers published online before peer review - simply by swiping left,
  right, up, or down.»

Applicare il concetto di Tinder alla fase embrionale di revisione degli articoli
scientifici!

``Noam Chomsky | Talks at Google'', Talks at Google
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C-zWrhFqpM>
---------------------------------------------------

 «For the past forty years Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and
  language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual
  and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and
  social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic
  theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also
  secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United
  States.

  In this talk from Google Cambridge in May of 2017 Professor Chomsky
  discusses wide ranging topics from the development of his personal
  political views to the control of information and media with Googler
  Hasan Khalil.»

Intervista mooolto interessante a Noam Chomsky.
