This document discusses natural language processing and text segmentation. It introduces ELUTE (Essential Libraries and Utilities of Text Engineering) and some of its Chinese language processing tools. It then discusses word segmentation algorithms like maximum matching, hidden Markov models, and conditional random fields. Finally, it talks about building language models and the importance of having a large corpus to train models on.

Robustness Analysis of Adaptive Chinese Input Methods @ WTIM2011Mike Tian-Jian Jiang
This work proposes a novel metric, Maximally Amortized Cost (MAC), for cost evaluations of error correction of predictive Chinese input methods (IMs). With a series of real-time sim- ulation, user correction behaviors are analyzed by estimating generalized backward compati- bility of adaptive Chinese IMs. Comparisons between three IMs by using MAC with differ- ent context lengths report empirical factors of context length for improving predictive IMs. The error-tolerance level—Futile Effort, Ben- eficial Effort and Utility—of adaptive IMs is also proposed and analyzed.
Evaluation via Negativa of Chinese Word Segmentation for Information Retrieva...Mike Tian-Jian Jiang
Numerous studies have analyzed the influences of word segmentation (WS) performance on information retrieval (IR) for Mandarin Chinese and have demonstrated a non-monotonic relationship between WS accuracy and IR effectiveness. The usefulness of the compound words that have been a focus of the IR literature is not reflected by common WS evaluation metrics of word-based precision (P) and recall (R). This investigation proposes alternative measurements of WS accuracy, which are based on negative segments that are annotated against four standards of referenced corpora, called true negative rate (TNR) and negative predictive value (NPV), and compares with P and R through search engine simulation,. Accuracy-controlled WS systems segment queries for the simulation including NTCIR collections and "Sogou" logs. Mean average precision (MAP) estimates the similarity of search results between the original and segmented queries. The statistics demonstrate that TNR and NPV are generally more closely correlated with MAP than are P and R.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

• Convenient API
• Plain text I/O (in UTF-8)
• More linguistic information
• Algorithm: CRF
• Corpus: we needYOU!
• Flexible to different applications
• Composite, Iterator, and Adapter Patterns
• IDL support
• SWIG
• Open Source
• Open Corpus, too
Maximum matching can also be “backward.”
Consider that if we try to diff and merge forward/backward maximum matching results...
Since we are not native speakers of English, it’s also a problem to us.
Oh, we got a problem, again!
Shannon’s noisy channel was modeled for a real world problem in Bell Lab.
It cares about not only error rates of “decoding” but also efficiencies of “encoding.”
This matches Zipf’s Law naturally.
Zipf’s Law, however, is EXPERIMENTAL, not theoretical.
In average, cross-entropy represents bit rates of encoding for noisy channel, and perplexity means branch (candidate) numbers.
8 horses are equally likely: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111
8 horses are biased: 0, 10, 110, 1110, 111100, 111101, 111110, 111111.
