This book comprises a set of articles that specify the methodology of text mining, describe the creation of lexical resources in the framework of text mining and use text mining for various tasks in natural language processing (NLP). The analysis of large amounts of textual data is a prerequisite to build lexical resources such as dictionaries and ontologies and also has direct applications in automated text processing in fields such as history, healthcare and mobile applications, just to name a few. This volume gives an update in terms of the recent gains in text mining methods and reflects the most recent achievements with respect to the automatic build-up of large lexical resources. It addresses researchers that already perform text mining, and those who want to enrich their battery of methods. Selected articles can be used to support graduate-level teaching. The book is suitable for all readers that completed undergraduate studies of computational linguistics, quantitative linguist...

From an international expert on infant-parent communication, "Your Baby Is Speaking To You" is destined to become a parenting classic. Through intimate access to babies and their families, Dr. Kevin Nugent and acclaimed photographer Abelardo Morell capture the amazingly precocious communications strategies babies demonstrate from the moment they are born. "Your Baby Is Speaking to You" illustrates the full range of behaviours - early smiling to startling, feeding to sleeping, listening to your voice and recognizing your face. The newest research - including information on subtle and fleeting behaviours not seen or explained in any other book - illuminates the meaning of the things babies do that concern and delight new parents: the language of yawning; the rich range of cries, and how to understand their meanings; and, baby's earliest 'sleep smiles' and sleep states, and what they signify.

Die Spur des großen Geldes - Dengler deckt die Machenschaften der »Euro-Retter« auf. Georg Dengler droht an seinem bisher größten Fall, dem neunten in Wolfgang Schorlaus Bestseller-Krimiserie, zu scheitern: Wer hat die EU-Beamtin Anna Hartmann entführt? Was hatte sie mit der sogenannten Griechenlandrettung zu tun? Und vor allem: Wo sind die Milliarden europäischer Steuergelder wirklich gelandet? Endlich, die mageren Jahre sind vorbei! So jedenfalls scheint es dem Stuttgarter Privatermittler Georg Dengler. Zum ersten Mal ergattert er einen wirklich gut bezahlten Auftrag: Das Berliner Auswärtige Amt will, dass er nach der Mitarbeiterin Anna Hartmann sucht. Ein Handyvideo legt nahe, dass sie entführt wurde. Mithilfe seiner technisch versierten Freundin Olga gelingt es Dengler, vier verdächtige Männer zu identifizieren. Bevor er sie befragen kann, werden sie allesamt ermordet. Gibt es einen Verräter im Auswärtigen Amt? Oder gibt Denglers neue Mitarbeiterin Petra Wolff Informationen an die ...

Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free/She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator--edge of despair to edge of despair--and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed. Product details ...

It should become and remain the definitive reference book for Beat scholars forever." -Carolyn CassadyNeal Cassady is best remembered today as Jack Kerouac's muse and the basis for the character "Dean Moriarty" in Kerouac's classic On The Road, and as one of Ken Kesey's merriest of Merry Pranksters, the driver of the psychedelic bus "Further," immortalized in Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

The definitive account of the race to create artificial intelligence 'This colourful page-turner puts artificial intelligence into a human perspective . . . Metz explains this transformative technology and makes the quest thrilling.' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs ___ Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project once consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a 64-year-old computer science professor with a back problem so severe he could not drive or fly. The other was a 36-year-old neuroscientist and chess prodigy. Though they took very different paths, together they helped catapult AI to the forefront of our daily lives and, in the process, created a business worth billions. This is the story of that technological revolution and of the arms race it has sparked among companies that range from Google to Facebook to OpenAI. It's the story of growing internatio...
