People of Walmart Coming to a Bookstore Near You

LABERT02 — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 11:30:52 +0000

Kids, get ready to revamp your Christmas lists: People of Walmart, everyone’s favorite blog mocking the insane and disheveled, is coming out in book form this September 7 from Sourcebooks. The title? People of Walmart: Shop and Awe. Nice.

Some of you might be scratching your heads at this point, under the impression that this blog had, in fact, already scored a book deal. Not so! Although a cadre of popular blogs have already come out in paperback form, the folks over at People of Walmart only announced their literary leanings today.

The blog — which was started in August of 2009 by brothers Adam and Andrew Kipple and childhood friend Luke Wherry — will make its way to book form complete with 200 photographs and captions (70% of which will be original content) and fan-submitted stories about their own experiences. (Oh man, I bet it’ll be sold in Walmart… That’s so meta!)

We’re curious to see how the blog translates to book. A lot of critics see the blog-to-book phenom as the end of literature, a slap-dash process whereby publishers merely serve up warmed-over digital content in a glossy cover.

Seeing as how the authors plan on offering original content and perhaps even more of the written word, we wonder if they will be able to create something new and engaging that will appeal to more than just the adherents of the blog. We’ll see come September. In the meantime, there’s always the People of Walmart Rap to tide us over.

Computer Algorithm Knows When You’re Being an Asshole

LABERT02 — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:28:35 +0000

The pursuit of machine intelligence means we have to come up with ways to communicate with our computers in a way both entities can understand. But while computers process verbal commands in a straightforward fashion, humans tend to use more sophisticated speech forms, employing slang or symbols to convey an idea. So an Israeli research team has developed a machine algorithm that can recognize sarcasm.

SASI, a Semi-supervised Algorithm for Sarcasm Identification, can recognize sarcastic sentences in product reviews online with pretty astounding 77 percent precision. To create such an algorithm, the team scanned 66,000 Amazon.com product reviews, with three different human annotators tagging sentences for sarcasm. The team then identified certain sarcastic patterns that emerged in the reviews and created a classification algorithm that puts each statement into a sarcastic class.

The algorithms were then trained on that seed set of 80 sentences from the collection of reviews. These annotated sentences helped the algorithm learn what sorts of words and patterns distinguish sarcastic remarks – those that mean the opposite of what they literally convey, or that convey a sentiment inconsistent with the literal reading.

They then turned the algorithm loose on an evaluation set. Pattern evaluation efficiency scored accurately 81 percent of the time, while the overall precision of the pattern recognition/sarcasm categorizing algorithm was accurate in 77 percent of instances. Not bad for a computer’s first shot at interpreting the human sense of humor.

This isn’t all just so your Roomba gets the joke when you tell it it sucks. Computer programs that can recognize sarcastic statements could generate better personalized content and make better recommendations to human users by not mistaking a product review titled “keep your receipt” with a sound piece of online shopping advice. It could also benefit opinion-mining systems that troll the Web trying to measure public sentiment about a product or idea.

Top Reason Couples Fight – Driving!

LABERT02 — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:48:33 +0000

Remember when cars were romantic? Drive-in movies, first kisses, and freedom? Today, according to the Wall Street Journal, driving is one of the number one catalysts for disagreement among couples. From choosing a GPS’ directions over those of your spouse to deciding whose turn it is to fill up the gas tank, it seems as though road trips fare worse than a discussion about finances or politics. Check out Elizabeth Bernstein’s hilarious article about the great car clash, and how the couples she interviews deal with the dillema. [Credit: Alltop]
