By Most languages or libraries that provide a generic sort routine allow you to specify a comparator, that is a callback that tells the sort routine how two given elements compare. Perl is no exception. For example in Perl 5, which defaults to lexicographic ordering, you can request numeric sorting like this: use v5; my @sorted = sort { $a $b } @values; Perl 6 offers a similar…

For a brief period, the French Republic introduced a decimal time system, with each day divided into ten hours and each hour divided into one hundred minutes. It was thoroughly logical and clearly superior to the sexagesimal system. Decimal time was a failure…

I’m a philosopher, working in logic and related issues. This means that I spend a lot of my time working with words and arguments. And sometimes, when I’m not feeling so good about things, it can seem like it doesn’t matter, that it’s all just words. Arguments about ethics, about issues in metaphysics or epistemology—on a bad day, at least—can seem to be nothing more than pointless…

We study how to extend a large knowledge base (Freebase) by reading relational information from a large Web text corpus. Previous studies on extracting relational knowledge from text show the potential of syntactic patterns for extraction, but they do not exploit background knowledge of other relations in the knowledge base.

One way to understand the distinction is to look at the kinds of errors you get when your program s syntax or semantics is incorrect. A syntax error is a failure of the source code to match the language grammar, for example…

Native ads are, essentially, the offspring of content marketing mating with ads. CEO Sloan Gaon pointed out to me that at its launch in 2009, his company was one of the first real-time bidding ad platforms. It serves mostly display ads, for both desktop and mobile Web. But display ads, he acknowledged, are “not really very engaging, ” and brands want user engagement. Hence…

Another day, another attempt on my part to make a point, and another derailment and ignoring of my point because people want to argue over definitions. It’s particularly ironic (and meta!) this time because the disagreement seems to be over my use of the word “semantic”.
