In a remarkable paper, Peter Turney shows that using a simple family of algorithms and freely available software, one can determine analogies, synonyms, antonyms, and relations between words automatically. Here is the beginning of the abstract: Recognizing analogies, synonyms, antonyms, and associations appear to be four distinct tasks, requiring distinct NLP algorithms. In the past, the four tasks have been treated independently, using a wide variety of algorithms. These four semantic classes, however, are a ...

Only 10 weeks into Manchester City's brave new world, Mark Hughes' position as manager is coming under scrutiny. It might seem ludicrous but football is an impatient business these days. This was City's seventh defeat in 12 league games and the billionaires in Abu Dhabi could never have envisaged that by mid-November, the team they had earmarked for a possible Champions League finish would be a point above the relegation zone.Hughes will certainly have some ...

Here we find ourselves, just over a quarter of the way through the season and the usual four-horse race seems to have already become a three-horse race. For the last few years, if a team had dropped behind this early it was usually Liverpool, but this time its Arsene’s Arsenal. Now, at a hugely pivotal point in their season, Arsenal find themselves pitted against Man Utd on Saturday, in a hugely important tie for the ...

Tottenham Hotspur's chairman, Daniel Levy, said yesterday that he had taken the "drastic" decision to sack Juande Ramos because he believed that the coach had lost the respect of key players.Levy acted on Saturday, bringing in Harry Redknapp after Spurs lost 2-0 at Udinese 48 hours earlier in the Uefa Cup, a tie they finished with 10 men. Previously they had lost at Stoke City, finishing with nine men, to make it two points and ...

Harry Redknapp had time to compose himself after what he described as one of the greatest comeback results of his managerial career, but there was no disguising his feeling that the 4-4 draw at Arsenal last night could energise his reign at Tottenham Hotspur."Hopefully it can be a springboard," said Redknapp, before he looked ahead to Saturday's visit of the Premier League leaders Liverpool. "We can't wait. Bring them on. We will give it a ...

If this is what the watching world can expect from Harry Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur, then the Premier League should rejoice in his appointment. The majority of those Spurs fans who had tickets for this game had departed in despair by the time their side somehow got level amid the late bedlam last night. This might have been a rout. It ended up an occasion upon which a season can turn.The chaos of the final exchanges ...

The Bolton Wanderers captain, Kevin Nolan, has leapt to the defence of the beleaguered Gary Megson after travelling supporters at White Hart Lane abused the visiting manager on Sunday as his side slipped to defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.The away fans broke into a chorus of "You don't know what you're doing" midway through the second half. The abuse became more personal as Megson, his side reduced to 10 men and trailing by two goals, substituted ...

If there’s one thing Harry Redknapp hates, it’s a sporting director. Or a director of football. Pretty much anyone with a vague title who tells him what to do in the transfer market. ‘Arry famously quit as Portsmouth manager when Velimir Zajec was appointed director of football, and has taken the Tottenham job on the understanding [...]

I snapped this photo of three Breezer bikes outside a Palo Alto cafe. Three women rode up separately and then sat together for a chat and some coffee. This photo says everything about the state of marketing and product design today. That is, marketing = design = marketing. You can design a bike to market itself, and you can design your marketing to make your product design more meaningful. I've written before about the great ...

We're running out of dirt. So says geologist David R. Montgomery in Charles Mann's article about the perils affecting the world's soil, including soil compaction in industrialized nations, drought in Africa, and erosion in China.1 Not that progress isn't being made. Some of the farm land in Burkina Faso has been recovered by local farming techniques. He assembled the farmers in his area, and by 1981 they were experimenting together with techniques to restore the ...
