Replace "New York" with "Tel Aviv", and nothing else needs to change.

> There is a dissertation in psychoanalytics just waiting to be written. Just don't wear a Hawaiian shirt while giving interview about it on TV.

I used to be like that when I was younger and in earlier stages of my career. As time passed, the pride of achieving the status worn off, as did the novelty of problems I was solvi…

From my experience as a programmer, while some level of communication is certainly important, most of my time and effort is spent concentrating alone at the task at hand. That's th…

> There's no evidence supporting the supposition that there is an innate ability gap. First, this is a straw man argument: I never argued for "innate ability gap". I argued for "in…

It's when you talk about young men in kinder gardens that you realize how ridiculous this whole discussion truly is. There will never be 50:50 young men to young women in kinder ga…

Not sure what all of this has to do with the linked article, which discusses purely the scientific merit of claims of bias in STEM.

Soderbergh's Schizopolis has a lot of scenes with fake or, better yet, subtext language. One of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eOLEdTG7Gc

How about the moral imperative "we should treat men and women the same", as opposed to "women are heavily oppressed, we must discriminate in their favor"? Would that imperative be …

Perhaps it's better to set it to 2 years, then. A clock that's counting time towards its own death. There is some grim poetry in that.

Do you just use development boards with these? And which ones?

Can any of these be programmed with Rust?

Ah, you're right, word2vec assigns one vector to each word, as opposed to one vector to each meaning. Then the problem remains: we can't differentiate between homonyms. But it seem…

> Finally, conceptual search can also help with precision - by matching across all concepts within a document, you can help disambiguate its meaning, when you have words that have …

Actually, I have an idea, albeit not without some doubts. Let x1 be the number of vectors matching A, x2 the number of vectors matching B, etc, till xn. Let c1..cn be a particular …

Also, this makes me wonder what other things you can do with vectors. If you compute dot product between a verb or a noun with vector "singular"-"plural", will it give a positive v…

Thanks! That paper is extremely helpful. Still, there is one thing missing to complete the picture for me right now. At the input, I have a list of words that I want to index or qu…

Thanks, I know about HebMorph. Its authors don't want it to be used for commercial purposes (at least for free), so that limits its usability beyond simple experiments. As to your …

Please forgive me attempting to milk as much as possible from this discussion - I just don't have many opportunities to get useful advice on this subject, and I've been mulling ove…

4) But recall that the language in question is such that stemming is hard. If you expand every form of every word in Hebrew, you obtain something like 600,000 words. And many of th…

Some clarifying questions: 1) Do words in a generic corpus (such as Wikipedia) actually form well-separated clusters? 2) Is it correct that you find word clusters in the corpus as …
