Twitter Part-of-Speech Tagging for All: Overcoming Sparse and Noisy DataLeon Derczynski

Original paper: http://derczynski.com/sheffield/papers/twitter_pos.pdf
Part-of-speech information is a pre-requisite in many NLP algorithms. However, Twitter text is difficult to part-of-speech tag: it is noisy, with linguistic errors and idiosyncratic style. We present a detailed error analysis of existing taggers, motivating a series of tagger augmentations which are demonstrated to improve performance. We identify and evaluate techniques for improving English part-of-speech tagging performance in this genre.
Further, we present a novel approach to system combination for the case where available taggers use different tagsets, based on vote-constrained bootstrapping with unlabeled data. Coupled with assigning prior probabilities to some tokens and handling of unknown words and slang, we reach 88.7% tagging accuracy (90.5% on development data). This is a new high in PTB-compatible tweet part-of-speech tagging, reducing token error by 26.8% and sentence error by 12.2%. The model, training data and tools are made available.

* How you can build and deploy an NLP chatbot on the Tars platform
Using Internet & Smartphone Tools to Engage & Support Volunteers (April 2013,...PDXTech4Good.org
Thanks to the Internet and handheld computers like smart phones, it's never been easier for nonprofits, schools, libraries, government programs and other mission-based initiatives to keep volunteers feeling supported, informed and valued. But how do you communicate all you need to without overwhelming volunteers? How do you appeal to the many different communications styles among volunteers? How do you keep your messages from being drowned out from the growing volume of online "noise" and landslide of information and Internet memes? And how do you integrate online communications with your many different other priorities? This lively discussion will explore all this and more!

Most businesses rely on human-customer support systems to troubleshoot queries and unfortunately implementing these systems is expensive.
Between HR, office space, and payroll, you are probably dropping a lot of money on customer support, and if you’re outsourcing your customer support the situation is worse because your contractor is charging you fat margin on top of all of those costs.
Enter the chatbot.
Chatbots are automated customer support agents that can troubleshoot queries without human assistance. They run 24/7, can handle millions of conversations simultaneously, and most importantly deliver prompt responses to your customers.
In this session, we'll teach you how you can make one of these awesome virtual agents so that you can take your customer support game to the next level.
Small talks are phrases that express a feeling of relationship building. We use them to respond to casual conversations. It allows people conversing in social situations to get to know each other on more informal topics.
Small talk can significantly improve the end-user experience by answering common questions outside the scope of your chatbot.
Types of small talk
It would help if you had a well-curated small talk dataset to enable the chatbot to kick off great conversations. It’ll also maintain user interest and builds a relationship with the company/product.
Here’s a list of chatbot small talk phrases to use on your chatbots, based on the most frequent messages we’ve seen in our bots.
In this Slide, we will help you to understand the chatbot dataset and how you can add different types of small talks to your chatbot.

Title: How Do You Know if Your Project Is Any Good?
Presented at All Things Open 2022
Presented by Avi Press & Emily Omier
Abstract: Are you, like many maintainers, struggling to get good data about who is actually using your project, how they are using it and why they downloaded it in the first place? Do you know how many users the project has, and whether those users even like it? Do you know what other technologies they use, what kinds of applications or workloads they use your project for or even what exactly they like (or dislike) about your project? In this talk, Avi Press will discuss ways to get quantitative data to get insights into who is using your project and what they are doing with it, and Emily Omier will talk about how to gather qualitative data on your project’s value and triggers that inspired adoption. Together, they’ll talk about how to use these two types of data to make better decisions about your outreach efforts, project roadmap and ultimate goals for the project.

Dealing with contributor overload - FOSS BackstageHolden Karau
The first external person contributing to our project is amazing, but when that 1 snowballs to 1,000 life can get a little bit stressful. All of these fine lovely people want to help, but somehow no one seems to want to deal with code reviews, proposed documentation changes, or keeping your testing infrastructure alive, or maybe they just want to pull in different directions.
This talk explores what happens as a community grows and provides recommendations to organize your community. We’ll focus on how to control the fun chaos and how to build a development path that keeps your comitters engaged and your community growing. All of these are based on the speakers’ experiences in their own personal projects (which have much less than 1k contributors) as well as larger projects, like Apache Spark.
Come for the being told it’s not your fault, stay for the techniques to avoid pissing everyone off.
P.S.
If one of the speakers is behind on reviewing one of your pull requests she is sorry and would like to offer you a sticker and hope this talk explains some of why she is late.

education on the intricacies of marketing. This course will examine various concepts and strategies for developing an integrated
marketing communications plan ‐ that includes traditional and social media strategies ‐ within your organization.
Learning Objectives:
After taking this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the basics of branding an organization;
• Understand what an integrated marketing communications plan is;
• Provide examples of how social media can be used to support marketing and branding efforts; and
• Provide examples of how external communications can support marketing and branding efforts.

We will also present how the system was implemented within the existing data architecture and then scaled from a laptop investigational tool to an enterprise-grade solution with Neo4j Server.
*Talk at GraphConnect NYC 2018*
Meetup in Prague (CZ), 31st May 2018
Abstract:
Graph-based machine learning is becoming an important trend in Artificial Intelligence, transcending other techniques and technologies. Using graphs as a basic representation of data for ML purposes has several advantages: (i) the data is already modeled for further analysis, explicitly representing connections and relationships between “things” and concepts; (ii) graphs can easily combine multiple sources into a single graph representation and iteratively enhance/learn over them, creating Knowledge Graphs; (iii) improving computation performance and quality. The talk will discuss these advantages and present applications in the context of recommendation engines and natural language processing.

Graph-Powered Machine Learning - Meetup Paris - March 5, 2018
Graph -based machine learning is becoming an important trend in artificial intelligence, transcending a lot of other techniques. Using graphs as a basic representation of data for multiple purposes:
- the data is already modeled for further analysis
- graphs can easily combine multiple sources into a single graph representation and learn over them, creating Knowledge Graphs;
- improving computation performances and quality. The talk will present these advantages and present applications in the context of recommendation engines and natural language processing.
Speaker: Dr. Vlasta Kus (@VlastaKus) is a Data Scientist at GraphAware, specializing in graph-based Natural Language Processing and related topics, including deep learning techniques. He speaks English, Czech and some French and currently lives in Prague.
This document discusses graph theory and its applications to data science. It provides examples of social and technological networks that can be represented as graphs, and covers graph theory concepts like connected components, triadic closure, structural balance, and centrality measures. Neo4j is presented as an open-source graph database that allows storing and querying graph data using the Cypher query language.
Modelling Data in Neo4j (plus a few tips)GraphAware
Modelling Data in Neo4j, bidirectional relationships, qualifying relationships with properties vs. relationship types (performance comparison), Neo4j hardware sizing, Cypher vs. Java API
The document discusses the GraphAware Framework, which makes it easy to build, test, and deploy custom functionality for Neo4j including custom APIs, transaction-driven behavior, and asynchronous computation. It provides examples of using the framework to implement a TimeTree module, track changes in the graph, and run page rank and recommendation algorithms asynchronously. The framework is open source and allows users to reuse existing modules or build their own.
Advanced Neo4j Use Cases with the GraphAware FrameworkGraphAware
This document discusses the GraphAware Framework, which allows developers to build custom Neo4j functionality including APIs, transaction-driven behavior, and asynchronous computation. It provides examples like the TimeTree module for storing time series data and processing page ranks asynchronously. The framework makes this advanced development easy through modules that can be tested, deployed, and run alongside Neo4j.

Machine Learning Powered by Graphs - Alessandro NegroGraphAware
Graph-based machine learning is becoming a very important trend in Artificial Intelligence, transcending a lot of other techniques. The world's largest companies are promoting this trend. For instance Google Expander's platform combines semi-supervised machine learning with large-scale graph-based learning by building a multi-graph representation of the data with nodes corresponding to objects or concepts and edges connecting concepts that share similarities.
Using graphs as basic representation of data for machine learning purposes has several advantages: (i) the data is already modelled for further analysis, explicitly representing connections and relationships between things and concepts; (ii) graphs can easily combine multiple sources into a single graph representation and learn over them, creating Knowledge Graphs; (iii) a lot of machine learning algorithms exploit graphs for improving computation performances and results quality.
The presentation shows the advantages above presenting also some applications like recommendation engine and natural language processing that use machine learning over a graph. Concrete scenarios, models and end-to-end infrastructure will be discussed.
Knowledge Graphs and Chatbots with Neo4j and IBM Watson - Christophe WillemsenGraphAware
Knowledge Graphs are becoming the de-facto solution for managing complex aggregated knowledge and Neo4j is the leading platform for storing and querying connected data.
Christophe Willemsen describes a graph-centric cognitive computing pipeline and detail the process from the ingestion of unstructured text up to the generation of a knowledge graph, queryable using natural language through chatbots built with IBM Watson Conversation.
Presentation at Big Data Universe 2.0 in Budapest
2017.05.18.
In the previous years we have got the Polyglot Persistence. This is a fancy term which means that when storing data, it is best to use multiple data storage technologies, chosen based upon the way data is being used by. If we have multiple persistence, then sometimes we need polyglot operations. One of the most popular use case in Big Data is searching. Almost all websites provide a search function to their users, to be able to find what they are looking for. Usually it is an Apache Lucene based solution, like Elasticsearch or Solr. I will show you how to enrich this kind of searching with the power of graph based searches, and implement a polyglot search functionality, where the results are based on the cooperation of a search engine and a graph based real time recommendation.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
