Thanks for a lovely gettogether and cocktails!. I recall the days when in the Officers Mess, I was expected to ask only for Whisky. I always went for Scotch. Occasional beer to wash that whisky down was normal. I liked the Fench Contreau after dinner. With men I had to have their drink – Rum. Without limits.
With all regards to French champaignes, I liked to have ‘Sovetskoe Shampanskoe’. Of course a tot of Vodka any day any time.
Now, I have had enough of all that, just a few glasses of hot water without any additives are fine with me.

I agree entirely with Miles, although I think the big win is in the parallelism, along with moving the data to the computation. I’d say you are likely to get more bang for your buck by parallelizing your code for a cluster than by porting it to a more efficient programming language, all other things being equal. It’s also worth mentioning that many NLP tasks are quite amenable to very simple coarse-grained parallelism, not requiring a lot of fancy algorithmic re-thinking.

This discussion is also a nice opportunity to mention an upcoming book by Jimmy Lin and Chris Dyer, entitled “Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce”. It’s slated for publication by Morgan & Claypool in mid-2010.

Flame on:

The rest of the world is not bound to the jargon in Schenectady, New York. As a genuine criterion you do not have to fear ze clarity  “der Menschen Wort“. Those who do not like to hear a PC sing, consult your part in the user manual or: Press 1 for English (*)!

To gain a basic vocabulary there are many drive-in-lessons. You can always get your money back thanks to a 30-days money back guarantee! Luckily, you are able to start speaking and understanding English (*) after a few hours, so you don’t have to wait till the end of the course before you begin to see results. I would be surprised if English (*) wouldn’t work for you if you are willing to give it a try. And should it not work for some mysterious reason, you can always get all of your money back thanks to an excellent 30-days money back guarantee.

Sometimes, more knowledge of English (*), designed for independent learners, is necessary. To get a better grasp of Shakespeare frequently is one reason, a supplemental life another. In order to achieve this, an ESP is not appropriate. BTW, “Those who publish only one major work written in Hebrew will never get a tenure. ” is well-known, but basically wrong. Most of the NT uses an ancient ESP called Koine Greek. Lacking expressiveness, even without wikifying, never had been a problem. Should you anyhow feel a strong desire to learn more English (*) and do not follow Garbo’s advice to suppress it, please remember that you can always get all of your money back thanks to an excellent 30-days money back guarantee. In over 40 states to improve your own English (*) is made easy, using proven and tested methods.

No global mindset exists. For many regions, the use of English (*) is objectionable, as the food is in part not halal. Good work localized may be botch. An issue is left to the user, which does not leverage ROI. Only native speakers like Reginald Molehusband care about  parallel parking versus reverse parking . Differences between American and British English (*). The conversation never ends. When a British businessman tries to sell green buildings in China, fun is likely to get totally out of control.  “Won Chicken Fri Riiiiii!” (Although extremely controversial, does not becalm the prospects.) Finally: “Lee, repeat what I said before!” (neither) Hint: Use APA style “Thank you very much, Massa.”

For most of the accomplishments of the English (*) Empire it is 2l8, as they are hardly to use as is, if at all. Only few agreeable aspects will remain. There is a chance that diverse variants of the English (*) language will. Nowadays, all boys and girls are fluent in Mandarin, as the People’s Republic of China grants asylum.

Flame off, not really.
