a_d_robertson What about the yellow emoji? A lot of people think yellow = neutral, no need for skin tones, political correctness gone mad, etc.

If so, then text with no linguistic signal + yellow emoji should be around 50:50, right?

Nope! Yellow = White, especially for White readers.

random_walker There's a great story in "The PayPal Wars". PayPal thought it was in the business of moving money, but quickly realized money is just bits and it was actually in the business of fraud prevention and dispute resolution, which are vastly harder. It's the same story, industry-wide.

Manchmal fĂĽhlt sich Xmonad dann doch weniger wie ein Window-Manager an und mehr wie eine Haskell-Bibliothek zur Implementation von Werkzeugen, mit denen man manuell seine Fenster managen kann.

emilymbender Just quickly: While useful scaffolding for compositional semantics, morphology and "grammar" aren't themselves meaning. Distributional information is a reflection of lexical semantics, but it also doesn't constitute NLU.

emilymbender I don't see that as "a problem" at all, let alone "the problem". Modern search engines are an excellent example of human-in-the-loop: The human crafts a query, gets a ranked list of candidate documents to peruse, either finding what they're looking for or issuing a new query.
