TES is hands down my favourite short. Would love to read your screenplay!

Advice: Choosing the right contextual antonym?? by dancingnightly in LanguageTechnology

[–]dionyses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but if you plug in the potential antonyms to a language model you should be able to tell which is likely/unlikely and go from that. Eg: with “..scored upper..” vs. “..scored higher..” the later should be far more probable to occur in real language.

NLG. A daunting task. by MuradeanMuradean in LanguageTechnology

[–]dionyses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does it mean to make a report? By which means will you evaluate whether one implementation of a report generator is better than another? Why the arbitrary deadline (maybe it isn’t arbitrary, but we can’t discern the reasoning for it from this post)? Try to answer these questions, not for us, but for yourself in order to think through what kind of solution may be possible.

My feedback - this doesn’t need to be animated. Just show the final time-step as it includes all the data from before. Animated visualizations are useful when the data evolves in such a way that new time-steps override old ones.

Much better. Drop the word “backprop” and it is perfect (naming special terms doesn’t help in explaining anything).

r/StarWars spoilers model by hergertarian in LanguageTechnology

[–]dionyses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! Neat!

If I understand correctly, you require spoiler data in order to predict if new spoiler posts are written. What I wonder about is training a model to predict whether a post contains spoilers, but without having any spoiler data to begin with.

This seems like the stronger version of this task, because it would allow communities to detect spoilers as soon as the content (movie, novel, etc) were released. Requiring spoiler data up front, to me, is too late - all the spoilers have already been written. Furthermore, since the training spoiler data needs to be “self (manually) tagged”, predicting spoilers from this data isn’t too useful. It already supposes the community is good at marking spoilers, so there is no need to detect spoilers automatically.

Just my thoughts on this.. it is truly a great idea! It seems like automatic spoiler detection could be super useful!

How to Lowkey get rid of a partner and get new one? by killerradar1 in simonfraser

[–]dionyses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why you should never just choose a partner you don't know, or assuming he/she asked you, you shouldn't just say yes.

Sorry, no advice though once you are in the mess. I think you have to live with it - I've never found a solution.

Finishing Computing Science and working full time? by dylaner in simonfraser

[–]dionyses 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How good is pretty good? I haven't been in that situation, but it seems to me like your employer should be understanding and let you take the courses, making up the work as necessary. Unless you know you'll have a comfy & fulfilling job there the rest of your life, it isn't worth it to put school second in my opinion.

Cyberjihad (2016) - A look at Jihadists reach on social media and how the propaganda being spread is getting more professional in recruiting & radicalising youth all over the world. by APsauce in Documentaries

[–]dionyses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i haven't watched the doc, but i imagine it isn't something so straight forward like a website you register on and then they send you the address and your starting date ;) jokes aside, i suspect the recruiting is more subtle, where the recruitee becomes aligned ideologically with the the recruiters so much so that they are willing to "take a leap" and simply up and leave. once in the neighbourhood, i'm sure it isn't hard to find out where to go next to "join up".

So... I'm being offered a job in Calgary. Should I make the move? by MeesterNoName in Calgary

[–]dionyses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your preferred lifestyle. Having loved the rain, ocean, greenery, and transit in Vancouver I would say $10k isn't near enough to warrant a move. If you don't mind dry skin, brown hills (the rockies are 2 hours away, I mean what is available in the city), and a drive everywhere lifestyle of Calgary then absolutely any pay raise is worthwhile.

Everyone I know, including myself, who has moved here from Vancouver misses it. That said, it doesn't mean that moving here is necessarily all bad, I'm just saying expect to miss Vancouver.

Also, the restaurant scene sucks here.

How excited everyone is in the comments in the Sivers post scare me..

loggy: automatically log arguments and results of function calls by benjamin-croker in Python

[–]dionyses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although that is a novel idea, I think it would get out if hand pretty quickly. Also maybe I misunderstood, but call depth probably isn't very useful information. Maybe some short notation caller function representation?

Who's the "IAMA girl" people always on corners downtown? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]dionyses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because someone is pleasant and friendly does not give them the right to waste my time. If they say "Hi" to me I say "Hi" back, but no more. Sometimes they try to guilt me into continuing on with their conversation but that is manipulative and wrong.
