The TextMap Blog: Lydia at the Hadoop Summit!
http://textmap.blogspot.com/2009/06/lydia-at-hadoop-summit.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. Lydia at the Hadoop Summit! My student Mikhail Bautin just presented his work on the Lydia processing architecture to over 700 people at the 2009 Hadoop Summit. In Santa Clara, CA. He found it to be a great conference (better he says than the more academic venues I've sent him to before). There is enormous energy in the Hadoop world today as it becomes the primary system for web-type parallel processing and cloud computing in general. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And Calcu...

The TextMap Blog: July 2009

Thursday, July 2, 2009. Ethnicity detection and the origin of Skiena. Although trends apparent in single-entity time series are revealing, more subtle analysis is possible by aggregating the signals of all the entities in a given group (say women, businessmen, Africans, etc.). But we first need to identify which entities are members of the group we are interested in. Or ` How do attitudes towards Hispanics vary across the U.S? To see how it works. This week I was thrilled to see the official 1920 and 193...

The TextMap Blog: Alumni Reunion
http://textmap.blogspot.com/2009/10/alumni-reunion.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. The Lydia/TextMap system was built in collaboration with my graduate students. A lot of graduate students. Indeed over thirty of them to date, all properly recognized on the team. Webpage. I've grown quite close to them over the years, and we try to keep in touch through our annual Lydia Alumni Banquet in Manhattan. August 1, 2013 at 5:27 AM. Reunions are the nice so that we can meet each others like friends, enemies in college days. So much of the things. Fantastic one.

The TextMap Blog: The World's Worst Person?
http://textmap.blogspot.com/2009/05/worlds-worst-person.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. The World's Worst Person? A certain fascination exists with identifying the public figure with the lowest overall sentiment ranking. It tells us something about a given society to discover who the most demonized figure is, the person spoken about with the greatest anger or rancor. Who is Lori Drew? Realize that sentiment analysis aims at capturing what the world is thinking, not what it necessarily should be thinking or that which is objectively true. Lydia sentiment signals m...

The TextMap Blog: June 2009
http://textmap.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. The sentiment polarity graph tells the interesting story. Ebbs and flows of the campaign are reflected before the vote, particularly Ahmadinejad's widely-panned debate performance on June 4 and the increasing sense that Mousavi could win. The election on June 12 drew enormous turnout followed too quickly by the announcement of a landslide Ahmadinejad victory. But within 24 hours, Mousavi's claim of fraud gains credence, and Ahmadinejad's sentiment (at least) goes down. It is hard...
