Dear Readers,
this act by far was the best.
karanz expressions were BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
but that oversized frog has to crock alwayzzz, hai na?
the act was awesome!!! it was done beautifully..... karan rocked it!!! but how could saroj khan do that!! it was a mind-blowing performance and a 6!!! i would give him a perfect 30!!!
the act was really gud....they had a theme n it was gud compared to others.....saroj was really mean in changin her mark from 8 to 6 .....they did deserve more than 6 .......
i loved the performance! ........in my eyes they deserved 27 all 9''s !
saroj praises girl most times. u can see parul. for me it was d best prformance till now nt only frm karan-nicole but d overall.means all participants
i think saroj khan was very cruel to darling kaarn
they did a spelendid job
i was with tears in ma eyes when d act finished off
he shud have been given atleast 27
saroj khan is quite bias...wheneva shes judging she praises girls more dan guyz
he should have got 30!!!
I would give them full on full
this are the scores of this week JDJ3 so now the bar of marks had rised and so lets see what all have done and for karan keep voting for him
Viewers get ready for unlimited laughter session only on Comedy Circus ... 6

Multilingual Guidance for Unsupervised Linguistic Structure Prediction
Learning linguistic analyzers from unannotated data remains a major challenge; can multilingual
text help? In this talk, I will describe learning methods that use unannotated data in a target language along with annotated data
in more resource-rich "helper" languages. I will focus on two lines of work. First, I will describe a graph-based semi-supervised
learning approach that uses parallel data to learn part-of-speech tag sequences through type-level lexical transfer from a helper
language. Second, I will examine a more ambitious goal of learning part-of-speech sequences and dependency trees from raw text,
leveraging parameter-level transfer from helper languages, but without any parallel data. Both approaches result in significant
improvements over strong state-of-the-art monolingual unsupervised baselines.

Fast Effective Clustering for Graphs and Documents
We describe two new methods for clustering nodes in a graphs. The
first method is simple to implement, easily parallelized, and very
fast: on a single machine, it runs in time linear with the number of
edges in the graph. Experimentally the method leads to clusterings
that are comparable in quality to those produced by widely used
spectral methods (e.g., the Normalized Cut algorithm), even though it
is much faster. The second method is based on building a
probabilistic model of the graph, and has a complementary set of
advantages: while not as amenable to parallelization, it also
typically runs in time linear in the number of graph edges, and is
well-suited to extensions that incorporate differing clustering
criteria or outside information about node similarities. We also
discuss extensions to the methods for graphs associated with text
corpora. This is joint work with Frank Lin and Ramnath

Harnessing Dozens of Languages for Robust Language Technology
The written word plays a greater role in human communication than at any point
in world history. As modern technology infrastructure spreads throughout the
world, the quantity of electronic text, written in hundreds of different
languages, continues to grow in size and diversity. While language processing
technologies have been steadily maturing for English, progress on most languages
has been slow, due to the paucity of data and research.
In this talk I will present my work on multilingual NLP. The key idea is that by
jointly modeling a broad array of languages, apparent ambiguities can be
resolved by building generic and universally plausible models of human language.
I will talk about the application of this idea to several longstanding problems
in NLP, including part-of-speech induction, computational decipherment of lost
languages, and morphological induction.
I will also present the new task of unsupervised grapheme-to-phoneme prediction
(as a first step towards robust and general decipherment methods). In this task,
we are given an unknown language written using a Latin alphabet, and must
predict the set of phonemes associated with each letter. By harnessing data from
over a hundred languages, we build a model which relates patterns of symbols in
text to plausible phonetic interpretations with high accuracy.
If time permits, I will describe some current work on childhood grammar and
language development using tools from machine translation.

Computational Advertising: Challenges and Opportunities
Computational advertising is a newly emerged research discipline,
which studies the algorithms and theories for online advertising. Computational advertising lies
in the intersection of information retrieval, machine learning, and game theory. However, due to
its unique properties, the conventional technologies in the aforementioned areas might not be
sufficient to handle the new problems in computational advertising. New principles, models, and
theories need to be developed. In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction to online
advertising (mainly from a business perspective) and computational advertising (from a research
perspective). Then I will discuss the key differences between computational advertising and
information retrieval, machine learning, as well as game theory, followed by the proposal of
several new research directions, like game-theoretic machine learning and statistical game
theory. After that, I will introduce several on-going projects in my group along these directions,
including attractiveness-based ad click prediction, learning to auction, and data-driven
advertiser modeling. At the end of the talk, I will discuss the future evolution of computational
advertising as a research discipline, and online advertising as a business model.

Learning Relation Extraction Rules from Massive Data
The talk will report on an information extraction platform that
combines named-entity detection, generic parsing and statistical
confidence estimation for learning large sets of rules that can
extract instances of given n-ary relations from free texts.
For precision-critical applications that do not need to recognize all
mentions, supervised learning approaches often suffice.
For recall-critical applications, supervised learning usually misses
most of the notorious long tail of patterns. In order to improve
recall, two methods have been employed. One of them is minimally
supervised learning starting with a small set of examples as
semantic seed. More instances and rules are then learned by
bootstrapping. The other method is distantly supervised learning,
starting with a large set of examples serving as a massive seed. In my
talk I want to compare the two methods as alternatives on
the same relation extraction platform. On the basis of our
empirical findings, I will argue that at least for some relations,
supervision learning on the Web provides a better basis for
attacking the long tail. Both methods are faced with the problem of
learning many wrong rules, seriously damaging precision. I will
present three approaches to filtering incorrect rules: regular
confidence estimation, implicit negative information through
closed-world seed knowledge and negative information obtained
by the parallel rule-learning for multiple relations.

Latent Variable Models of Distributional Lexical Semantics
In order to respond to increasing demand for
natural language interfaces---and provide meaningful insight into user query
intent---fast, scalable lexical semantic models with flexible representations
are needed. Human concept organization is a rich phenomenon that has yet to be
accounted for by a single coherent psychological framework: Concept generalization
is captured by a mixture of prototype and exemplar models, and local taxonomic
information is available through multiple overlapping organizational systems.
Previous work in computational linguistics on extracting lexical semantic
information from the Web does not provide adequate representational flexibility
and hence fails to capture the full extent of human conceptual knowledge. In this
talk I will outline two probabilistic models that can account for some of the rich
organizational structure found in human language: (1) a background clustering model
of polysemy and (2) a hierarchical LDA-based approach to modeling concept organization.
These models can be used to predict contextual variation, selectional preference and
feature-saliency norms to a much higher degree of accuracy than previous approaches,
and have the potential for improving question answering, text classification, machine
translation, and information retrieval.

Distant Speech Recognition: No Black Boxes Allowed
A complete system for distant speech recognition (DSR) typically
consists of several distinct components. While it is tempting to isolate and optimize each component
individually, experience has proven that such an approach cannot lead to optimal performance.
In this talk, I will discuss several examples of the interactions between the individual components
of a DSR system. In addition, I will describe the synergies that become possible as soon as each
component is no longer treated as a ``black box''. To wit, instead of treating each component as
having solely an input and an output, it is necessary to "peel back the lid" and look inside. It
is only then that it becomes apparent how the individual components of a DSR system can be jointly
optimized to obtain the best possible performance.
Among the components I will discuss are:
1. The speaker tracking system used to estimate speakers' physical locations;
2. Beamforming required to combine several signals from a microphone array to emphasize desired
speech while suppressing noise and interference;
3. Postfiltering applied to the output of the beamformer for further enhancement;
4. The recognition engine, which turns an enhanced signal into a set of word hypotheses;
5. The speaker adaptation component for adapting to the individual characteristics of a given speaker.
I will also briefly discuss other necessary components, such as those required for detecting focus
of attention, and voice prompt suppression. All of these technologies will grow in importance as
DSR systems are deployed in automotive, robotics, and manufacturing applications, where automation
will be used to achieve cooperative, synergistic, man-machine interactions intended to accomplish
shared goals.
Bio:John McDonough has been doing research in automatic speech
recognition since 1993 when he joined BBN after completing his Master's at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
in 1992. In 1997 he returned to graduate school, and received his PhD under Fred Jelinek at Johns Hopkins
University in 2000. He then worked at the University of Karlsruhe and Saarland University, where he
established courses on distant speech recognition. John supervised all speech and audio technologies
research for the EU project CHIL, Computers in the Human Interaction Loop, and co-wrote a book on Distant
Speech Recognition during that time. Beginning in February 2010, John spent a year at Disney Research Pittsburgh

Cybercasing the Joint: Language Technologies, Multimedia Retrieval, and Online Privacy.
In this talk, I present recent case studies that highlight
the potential for (multimedia) retrieval of online (social network)
data to support real-world attacks. Both language-based and
multimedia-based retrieval has rapidly emerged as a field with
highly useful applications in many different domains. Researchers from
different areas in signal processing and computer science have
invested significant effort into the development of convenient and
efficient retrieval mechanisms. While retrieval speed, flexibility,
and accuracy are still research
problems, this talk will demonstrate that they are not the only ones.
This talk aims to raise awareness for a rapidly emerging privacy
threat that we termed "cybercasing": leveraging information available
online to mount real-world attacks. Based on the initial example of
geo-tagging, I will show that while users typically realize that
sharing information, e.g., on social networks, has some implications
for their privacy, many users 1) are unaware of the full scope of the
threat they face when doing so, and 2) often do not even realize when
they publish such information. The threat is elevated by recent
developments that make systematic search for information (either
posted by humans or by sensors) and inference from multiple sources
easier than ever before. However, even with relatively high error
rates, retrieval techniques can be used effectively for different
real-world attacks by using "lop-sided" tuning; for example by
favoring low false alarm rates over high hit rates when scanning for
potential victims to attack. This talk presents a set of scenarios
demonstrating how easy it is to correlate data [4], especially those
based on location information, with corresponding publicly available
information for compromising a victim's privacy.

Not Just for Kids: Enriching Information Retrieval with Reading Level Metadata
A document isn't relevant - at least, not immediately - if you can't
understand it, yet search engines have traditionally ignored the problem of
finding content at the right level of difficulty as an aspect of relevance.
Moreover, little is currently known about the nature of the Web, its users,
and how users interact with content when seen through the lens of reading
difficulty. I'll present our recent research progress in combining reading
difficulty prediction with information retrieval, including models, algorithms
and large-scale data analysis. Our results show how the availability of
reading level metadata - especially in combination with topic metadata - opens
up new and sometimes surprising possibilities for enriching search systems,
from personalizing Web search results by reading level to predicting user and
site expertise, improving result caption quality, and estimating searcher

Experience for Search (CLUES) group at Microsoft Research (Redmond). His
research lies in an area combining information retrieval, machine learning,
and computational linguistics, and focuses on models, algorithms, and

His recent work has explored algorithms and Web search applications for
reading level prediction; optimization strategies that reduce the risk of
applying risky retrieval algorithms like personalization and automatic query
rewriting; and educational applications of IR such as intelligent tutoring
systems. Kevyn received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. from the Language Technologies

Jointly Maximum Margin and Maximum Entropy Learning of Graphical Models
Graphical models (GMs) offer a powerful language to elegantly define expressive distributions,
and a generic computational framework to support reasoning under uncertainty in a wide range of problems. Popular paradigms for
training GMs include the maximum likelihood estimation, and more recently the max-margin learning, each enjoys some advantages,
as well as weaknesses. For example, the maximum margin structured prediction model such as M3N lacks a straightforward
probabilistic interpretation of the learning scheme and the prediction rule. Therefore its unique advantages such as support
vector sparsity and kernel tricks cannot be easily conjoined with the merits of a probabilistic model such as Bayesian
regularization, model averaging, and ability to model hidden variables.
In this talk, I present a new general framework called Maximum Entropy Discrimination Markov
Networks (MEDN), which integrates the margin-based and likelihood-based approaches and combines and extends their merits. This
new learning paradigm naturally facilitates integration of the generative and discriminative principles under a unified
framework, and the basic strategies can be generalized to learn arbitrary GMs, such as the generative Bayesian networks, models
with structured hidden variables, and even nonparametric Bayesian models, with a desirable maximum margin effect on structured
or unstructured predictions. I will discuss a number of theoretical properties of this approach, and show applications of MEDN
to learning a wide range of GMs including: fully supervised structured i/o model, max-margin structured i/o models with hidden
variables, a max-margin LDA-style model for jointly discovering 'discriminative' latent topics and predicting document
label/score of text documents, or total scene and objective categories in natural images, etc. Our empirical results strongly
suggest that, for any GM with structured or unstructured labels, MEDN always leads to a more accurate predictive GM than the
one trained under either MLE or Max Margin.

In a post few weeks ago, I wrote about the online petition requesting Amazon to remove anonymous reviews and allow only verified purchasers. This was allowing unethical people write fake reviews to bring down competitors.
I came to the surprising conclusion that while I agree with the urgency behind the petition, it wasn't the kind of petition I'd sign. One, because I firmly believe that if authors can maintain their privacy by using pen names, reviewers or readers have a right to do the same. Two, I'm not convinced that Amazon would overhaul a system that has worked so well for them. Only allowing verified purchasers to comment would drastically cut down on the number of reviews they've gotten and as a business that is equivalent to shooting themselves in the foot. I am not convinced that Amazon would capitulate.
Yet, if authors band together to combat fake reviews, that could be seen as cyberbullying as well. Perhaps readers can educate themselves to spot a fake review, but even that is not an iron-clad strategy as what may appear to be fake could actually be genuine, and you'd end up with a splitting headache trying to see evil intent behind a seemingly dubious review.
As I researched further into the issue, I came across a controversial blog which accused a number of prominent indie authors of buying fake reviews. Some of the accused authors have posted a declaration that they do not buy fake reviews, and judging from the lack of evidence on this blog, I'm more inclined to side with them. Still, that's this little voice in your head that goes, "just who is telling the truth?" Amidst all this confusion, I wouldn't blame you for abandoning indie ebooks altogether and just stick with traditionally published books.
Please, don't.
I am a reader myself, and I share your frustration. But as a writer as well (disclaimer, I published a short story on Amazon and plan to release more in the near future), I love the freedom Kindle Direct Publishing gives creatives like myself to reach readers. There are decent, talented and honest writers out there.
All we need is to learn how to find them.
As a reader, you're probably at a loss to buy indie books. I love indie books, and I support the creative spirit that goes behind it. However, with the existence of fake reviews out there, is there a way to determine if there are true-blue good quality indie books out there?
Get a free sample. A lot of writers these days offer a free short story or even a novel. Have a taste of their writing and see if it's to your taste. Alternatively, you can always get them from the library or from friends first.
Study the reviews carefully. Avoid reviews that don't state reasons why they didn't like the book. Instead, look for reviews that clearly list why the book is good or bad. A lot of times three-star reviews are often more helpful than five-star reviews because they highlight both the good and bad. Be wary of five-star reviews. A book is never perfect.
Hang out at Goodreads. This is where readers dwell, discuss and recommend books. I personally find the reviews at Goodreads more geared towards people trying to find a good read. However, it's still prudent to be careful as fake reviews are known to dwell on Goodreads too.
Read book blogs. Most book bloggers (most, but not all, admittedly) review out of sheer passion. Read several reviews of the same book if possible.
Be suspicious of books that have only five-star reviews. Because even Stephen King gets one-star reviews.
Read the author's blog. It's a 21st century, digital age strategy. Many authors are posting their fiction on their websites free. Both reader and writer win. The reader gets free fiction, and the writer may end up snagging a new fan and promote his work as well. By reading the tales offered online you'd have a good idea whether his works are to your liking.

Walker is everything a girl could hope for. He's smart, he's athletic, he's sweet and gentle, he's caring, he has an amazing family and he could be a model with those dark melting eyes and thick brown hair. But he seems to be very confused about life. He's moody, he's emotional, he gets mad, he likes to argue, and he pushes people away. But I just want him to know that I would be the luckiest girl in the world if he ever liked me again.

TXOLDHAM's Note:
This is how my mother-in-law taught me how to cook a pork roast when I was a new bride - 1959! I have updated it a little. At that time, I didn't know how to boil an egg.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 4 1/2-5 lbs pork roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoons flour, and enough water to make a paste to thicken the gravy
- 1Rub the roast all over with thyme, sage and salt and pepper.
- 2Heat a heavy dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan and brown the roast on all sides. Remove roast and saute the onion and garlic. Put the roast back in the pan and add water and reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Cover and simmer until done - about 2 hours. Turn the meat occasionally as water evaporates and then add a little more water.
- 3To make gravy, remove roast and add the wine and 1/2 cup water to pan. Bring to boil and scrape up brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil until reduces a bit and then add the flour-water paste and whisk in slowly to avoid lumps till reaches the desired thickness. Taste for seasoning.
- 4If desired, cook 6 small potatoes, 2 medium onions, quartered, 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3 inch pieces and 1 pound button mushrooms in with roast. Add the last hour of cooking.

FDIC Insurance: Deposits up to $250,000 Covered until 2014
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): Depositor insurance protection for up to $250,000 per depositor was set to expire at the end of this year and revert back to only $100,000 in FDIC insurance protection per depositor.This past week that coverage was extended until the end of 2013. They should have made the change permanent, why stop at 2013?
Search for the Top CD Rates Here: CD Rates
Update: The $250,000 was permanently raised when the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was passed in 2010. The current standard maximum deposit insurance amount is $250,000.
On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except IRAs and other certain retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor. The new law also gave the FDIC the authority to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury if needed. The FDIC's reserve fund to cover deposit accounts has shrunk because of the failure of so many banks this past year.
You are not limited to only $250,000 in FDIC coverage at a particular bank. You have coverage based on they type of account. Here are the limits.
Another FDIC program, the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, provides depositors with unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts if their bank is a participant in the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
Non-interest bearing checking accounts include Demand Deposit Accounts (DDAs) and any transaction account that has unlimited withdrawals and that cannot earn interest. Also included are low-interest NOW accounts that cannot earn more than 0.5% interest. Interest-bearing accounts include NOW accounts that can earn more than 0.5% interest, other interest-bearing checking accounts, Money Market Deposit Accounts, savings accounts, and Certificates of Deposit (CDs). This program is scheduled to end on December 31, 2009.
