When James Tedesco broke the news to Canberra CEO Don Furner that he was back-flipping on his big-money three-year deal, little did the club know it would ultimately be the making of them.
With a rag-tag legion of discards, journeymen and no-frills imports, Ricky Stuart and his coaching staff have ushered in the second coming of the green machine.
Just one game away from the club's first NRL grand final berth since 1994, the question is being asked, how did they get here?
Especially given just a few years ago the club was on the canvas after a devastating series of knockbacks from some of the game's biggest stars.
Tedesco famously backed out of his move to the nation's capital after being seemingly signed, sealed and delivered. Penrith Josh Mansour spurned a lucrative offer, as did Melbourne forward Kevin Proctor.
The club also lost a tug-of-war with Brisbane and Anthony Milford departed which, combined with missing out on Tedesco, opened up salary cap space to secure a number of unheralded players starting with Blake Austin.
"It hurts, particularly the ones that say yes and then change their mind," Furner told AAP.
"It's a real kick in the teeth but you pick yourself up and keep on going.
"We then started looking at Austo (Blake Austin) because Wests Tigers kept Tedesco and they had (Luke) Brooks and (Mitchell) Moses so Austo didn't have a set position there.
"Out of something bad came something good."
Having played a majority of his career off the bench and covered just about every position, Austin wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the game's premier five-eighths upon his arrival in 2015.
It's the sort of 'Moneyball' recruiting which caused the Raiders' stocks to skyrocket.
Joey Leilua quit Newcastle after a spat with then coach Rick Stone.
His partner on the Raiders' lethal right edge, Jordan Rapana. was pulling beers in a pub and playing park footy after a Mormon mission and failed attempts to make it in rugby union.
Hooker Josh Hodgson was considered England's fourth-best hooker before coming to Australia and is arguably now only behind Cameron Smith as the game's best rake.
And the Raiders wouldn't have jagged Aidan Sezer from Gold Coast had it not been for Daly Cherry-Evans signing with the Titans – only to later backflip.
While Furner would like to say it's all down to smart planning from Stuart, assistants Dean Pay and Mick Crawley and recruitment manager Peter Mulholland, he admits good fortune has also played its part.
"They're all different, they all have different stories about how they got here," Furner said.
"Some of it's by planning and some of it's by luck. It's a bit of both.
"We didn't know we were going to get Joe Tapine at the start of the year, we didn't know the whole Parramatta thing was going to blow up and Junior Paulo got squeezed out.
"That wasn't planning – we were just in a position to take advantage of that."
So not only is the future looking bright for Canberra, it appears that way for a long time.
Of the club's top 17, all of them, save for Rapana, Edrick Lee and Paul Vaughan are contracted until the end of 2018, granting the Raiders great stability and propping their premiership window open for several years.
The important flow-on is that Canberra is now an attractive destination for off-contract players, an idea that seemed highly unlikely a few short years ago.
"The people that bag Canberra came here on a school excursion when they were 14 and they got off the bus and it was cold," Furner says.
"But the blokes that are here now are 24, 25, 26. It's a great place when you've got young kids. They're not 18, 19, 20 and wanting to get into the nightlife of Kings Cross or Gold Coast.
"But if you've got blokes that are a bit older and bringing up children, it's such an easy place to live.
"Our facilities are unbelievable, it's in close proximity to anywhere we go.
"Those guys are speaking highly so when Elliott Whitehead is calling Josh Hodgson asking 'Should I come to Canberra?', Josh Hodgson is on the phone saying 'Mate, come'. "That helps.
"And winning."

Carl Frampton confirms WBA World Featherweight title rematch with Leo Santa Cruz
Carl Frampton's world title rematch with Santa Cruz has been confirmed.
The Belfast boxer made history on July 30 in New York by becoming the first Northern Ireland boxer to win world titles at two different weights, when dethroning WBA World featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Done deal! The rematch vs @leosantacruz2 is on!!! More news to come soon #AndStill— Carl Frampton MBE (@RealCFrampton) October 20, 2016
Frampton, who is managed by Barry McGuigan and coached by Shane McGuigan, is set to announce details of the fight later on Thursday.
Frampton was given a majority points decision by the three judges over 12 rounds.
One judge had it a 114-114 draw, while the other two scored it 116-112 and 117-111 in favour of the Belfast man.
At the time Frampton said: "This is a dream come true for me. As a young boy I dreamed of winning a world title and now I'm a two-weight world champion.
"I'd love to give Leo a re-match because he gave me my chance. I'd love to have it in Belfast and show the public how great a warrior he is.
"I want to thank the incredible support that travelled and the people here in New York have been amazing – I love the east coast and I want to come back."
Boxing site RingTV reports the fight will take place on January 28 in either New York or Las Vegas.
Both the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the Barclays Center is on hold for the same date in New York.

Remy Sharp — Browsers with wings: HTML5 APIs
Web Directions @media 2010, Southbank Centre London, June 11 1.40pm.
Presentation slides
Session description
HTML5 is all the rage with the cool kids, and although there's a lot of focus on the new language, there's plenty for web app developers with new JavaScript APIs both in the HTML5 spec and separated out as their own W3C specifications. This session will take you through demos and code and show off some of the outright crazy bleeding edge demos that are being produced today using the new JavaScript APIs. But it's not all pie in the sky – plenty is useful today, some even in Internet Explorer!
Specifically we'll be looking at scripting the video media element, 2D canvas and some of the mashups we can achieve. How to take our web apps completely offline, going beyond the cookie and HTML5's answer to threading: web workers.

Album Rating: 4.5Yeah, I've seen a lot of your comments because they're all over sputnik :3, I sort of disagree with the list
though. His Last Voyage is definitly not one of the best GG songs IMO
Album Rating: 4.5I'd say it's their best song, and one of my fave songs by any band. So much stuff going on but ends up sounding relatively normal.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffPlus it has the best sustained guitar feed back ever done. Plus those vocals, mainly in the middle of the song...Plus the keyboard solo at 4:44, plus the arrangements... Definitely a top 3.
The ST song and Experience are tied for best GG song.
Digging: Ne Obliviscaris - Urn
Album Rating: 4.0I love the vocal fugues On Reflection and Knots. ^ Those are great too.
Digging: Duke Ellington - The Far East Suite
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffIn my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection nowwww
@beefshoes, I have both songs in my top 4 of my GG songs list. The ST is my ultime favorite.
@Friday, I agreed, and I have On Reflection at the 6th position into my list.
Album Rating: 4.0yeah, the ST track has such a wicked violin riff
Album Rating: 5.0Fuck the guitar playing is phenomenal on here. Might change this to my favourite soon
Album Rating: 4.5The vocal fugues are what initially sold me on these guys. And then I heard the music... these guys are so great.
Album Rating: 5.0Its basically a tie with Octopus.
Album Rating: 4.5Man.. that shredding 5 minutes into experience is some real sweet shit \m/
Album Rating: 4.5^ Agreed, and the title track riffs hard. This record's addicting.
best band ever hype
Digging: Dyscarnate - With All Their Might
overlooked at the very least
Album Rating: 5.0Simply put, this is Gentle Giant best album and certainly one of the best prog album ever. Contains four GG classics with the title song, The Runaway, Experience and Way of Life. Superb.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffYou're right, these tracks alone make it a 5 worthy. It's also one of my fav prog albums ever. Now, you could give a better score for let say Acquiring the Taste, Octopus and Free Hand ;)
Album Rating: 5.0You may have a point here. Maybe I was a little hard on those albums...thanks !
Album Rating: 4.5weh this album rules
Album Rating: 4.0Really dig this album
Album Rating: 3.5Experience is so good

Dennis & Rocky
Dennis and Rocky get together each year at this time to celebrate their birthdays. They've been friends for as long as either can remember and that has been a while. We opted for a float on the Klamath in hopes of catching the start of the Salmonfly hatch. While the morning started a bit slow, the afternoon and evening bite was outstanding. Most of the fish were small, some only slightly larger than our flies but we did manage a few half pounders around 15″ and hooked a few that may have been larger still. We had a little downpour but escaped the T-storms forecast for the area. It appears about half of the typical number of Salmonflies have hatched and are beginning to fly and egg lay. This hatch could reach epic proportions sometime very soon.

- For cool summer milkshakes, put the milkshake glasses into the fridge first before filling them with yummy shakes.
- Experiment with adding the milk to blender first, it gives it a good fluid base where the other ingredients don't stick to the walls of the milk shake maker. Then add ice cream and other ingredients like yogurt, creams and fruit etc before blending them all together
- For fruity chunky milk shakes, lessen the time of blending.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to computer text classification, and more particularly, to a method and system for classifying electronic text messages.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many forms of electronic communications and, in particular, electronic mail (email) communications via the Internet and other communication networks have become abused by certain users, which utilize them for mass distribution of unsolicited messages commonly referred to as "spam".
U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,103,372 and 6,212,532 disclose methods for classifying electronic text messages, which are based on searching for key phrases in subject headers of email messages or applying search mechanisms relying on centralized lists of specific text strings, such as trade names, product brands, email's sender addresses, and the like. However, these references address only a few of particular aspects of spam-identifying techniques.
Despite considerable efforts devoted to detection of spam, electronic communications are still vulnerable to many sources of spam of ever-increasing level of sophistication. Therefore, further improvements in techniques for classifying electronic text messages would be desirable.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to techniques for classifying text messages, and more particularly, to a method and system for classifying electronic text messages that substantially obviates one or more of the disadvantages of the related art.
According to one embodiment, a method of classifying electronically-acquired text messages includes the steps of creating a hierarchic list of message categories, composing databases of key terms and sample messages for each of the message categories, calculating a weight factor and a similarity score of a text message (e.g., email message) relative to the key terms and sample messages, and determining if the text message is associated with one or more of the message categories.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a system implementing portions of the inventive method for classifying text messages.
Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a computer program product that, when executed by a computer processor, implements portions of the inventive method for classifying text messages.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description that follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
In the drawings:
The images in the drawings are simplified for illustrative purposes and are not depicted to scale. It has been contemplated that features or steps of one embodiment may beneficially be incorporated in other embodiments without further recitation.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
As used herein, the term "key term" refers to a single word, a combination of words, a phrase, or, in some circumstances, a sentence. Here, "message" refers to a email, or a similar document. Typically, messages include a number of words, sentences, phrases, an so on, some of which may be key terms.
At a high level, one embodiment of the present invention involves the following steps:
1. Generating a hierarchical list of categories, referred to as a "rubricator", which defines the properties of the identified categories.
2. Storing, in a database, the semantic image of each category, in the form of a list of key terms. The presence of each of the key terms in a message is an indication that, with a given probability, the message belongs to a particular category.
3. Storing, in the database, sample messages for each of the categories. The sample messages are those that unequivocally belong to that category.
4. When a new electronic text message is received, the language of the message is identified automatically.
5. The message is filtered, to remove "noise words," such as articles, prepositions, and so forth.
6. Key terms are identified in the received message, for those key terms that are stored in the database.
7. The weight of the received electronic text message is determined, relative to a particular category, if the text message has at least one, and usually more than one, key terms from the semantic image of the particular category. The particular category is therefore considered to be relevant to the text message, if the calculated weight exceeds a first threshold.
8. The degree of similarity of the received text message is calculated relative to each of the sample messages that are stored in the database. If the degree of similarity exceeds a certain threshold for any of the sample messages stored in the database (a second threshold), then this category is considered relevant for this particular text message.
9. For the received text message, a resulting list of relevant categories is formed, based on the previous steps. Thus, the text message is rubricated into the relevant categories.
As one option, the hierarchical list of the possible categories can be relatively complete, or can be relatively sparse. The procedure described in steps 1-9 above can be repeated for all the possible categories, or for only some of the categories.
As one option, the categories can be only those that are generally spam related. For example, one category could be "Internet get rich schemes", another category can be "Viagra related", another category could be "stock schemes", and so forth. On the other hand, the hierarchy can be considerably more complete, and can include categories that are not spam related. This can also aid the user in categorizing incoming email, aside from the determination of a likely spam/not spam.
As yet a further option, the list of categories can be defined by the user to be only those categories that the user is interested in (as opposed to a full rubricator). Thus, the user can filter emails that are of interest to him to predefined folders, while remaining emails can go into, for example, the general in-box, or be presumed to be spam, and go into a spam folder. In other words, the rubricator scheme described above can be used both to include received messages in a particular category, and to exclude received messages from some particular category (for example, if a particular key term is present, the message will not be classified as spam, even if contains enough other key terms that would make it a spam message).
As noted earlier, the approach to email filtering using the rubricator can be both inclusive and exclusive. In the case of spam, the objective is to identify spam emails and filter them out, but let through everything else. In the case of user-interest-based rubricator categories, the objective is to specifically identify those emails that are of particular interest to the user, and alert the user in some fashion that emails of particular interest to him have arrived.
As yet a further option, when the weight of the message is determined, one mechanism for doing so is based on the number of key terms that are identified in the message, the number of repetitions of the key terms, the length of the key terms (particularly if the key term is a phrase or a sentence), the length of the entire text message, and so on.
As yet a further option, the key terms can be identified both for the entire message, as well as for only portions of the message (such as certain fields in the email, and so on).
As yet a further option, the calculation of degree of similarity with sample messages in the database can use fuzzy logic comparison of the texts of the two messages. The lexical content of the messages can be compared, which should also include word morphology.
With reference to
Illustratively, a portion of a hierarchical list of spam-related message categories may include, among other such categories and sub-categories, for example:
Drugs and medications
Free products or services
Unrealistic financial opportunities
At step 104, a database of key terms for each category or sub-category included in the hierarchical list of step 102 is composed. Each key term contains one or more key words that are commonly used in electronic text messages corresponding to a specific category or sub-category. For example, expressions "unlimited income working on your computer", "no online selling experience needed", or "we will train you how to make money on the Internet" may be defined as key terms associated with the sub-category "High income from selling online".
Even though particular key terms may also be found in legitimate electronic text messages, certain features, or criteria, thereof may be indicative of a spam message. Such criteria include, for example, a frequency of using and location of a key term (for example, in the title), optionally key term's appearance (for example, in bold or upper cases or in larger fonts), a number of words in the key term or the text message, and the like. In embodiments, at least some of the key terms are provided with weight factors, which correspond to pre-determined features that, selectively or collectively, may be defined for each category or sub-category.
Additionally, there may be defined key terms that uniquely identify a particular category or sub-category. Such key terms are referred to herein as characteristic key terms (for example, the key term "unlimited income" is a characteristic key term of the category "Unrealistic financial opportunities"). Illustratively, a weight factor of a characteristic key term is equal to 1 (or 100%), while other key terms have weight factors in a range from 0 to 1 (or 0 to 100%).
At step 106, a database of sample messages for each category or sub-category included in the hierarchical list of step 102 is composed. In contrast with the key terms, each sample message contains a sentence that identifies its link to a respective category or sub-category. For example, the key term "Free downloads of thousands of songs" corresponds to a sample message from the "Free music or movies" sub-category.
However, while some key terms uniquely identify a category or sub-category of the respective electronic text message, other key terms may also be found in legitimate electronic text messages. In particular, the same key term "Free downloads of thousands of songs" may be found in a message offering such downloads as a time-limited reward for buying an expensive service (e.g., subscription) or product. A key term may be associated with one or more similarity scores, which indicate a probability that the key term identifies an electronic text message corresponding to a specific category (or categories) or sub-category(ies) (for example, based on frequency of use, location, etc. of the key term in the text message, a number of words in the key term and the like).
Additionally, there may be key terms that uniquely identify a particular category or sub-category. Such key terms are referred to herein as characteristic key terms (for example, the key term "Buy stock XYZ now!" is a characteristic key term of the category "Unrealistic financial opportunities"). Illustratively, a similarity score of a characteristic key term is equal to 1 (or 100%), while other key terms have similarity scores in a range from 0 to 1 (or 0 to 100%).
At steps 104 and 106, the key terms are identified using language-specific variants or equivalents of particular words or combinations thereof. Optionally, such variants and equivalents may be produced by applying, for example, fuzzy text objects generation algorithms or using synonyms. For example, the expressions "make money on the Internet" and "free dose of the drug XYZ" may also be presented in the respective databases in modified forms such as "make money online" and "free doses of the drug XYZ", where the term "the Internet" is replaced with its synonym "online" and the word "doses" is replaced with its morphologically normalized variant "dose", in these examples.
In further embodiments, specific limitations may be associated with or, alternatively, not applied, for particular key terms of at least some categories or sub-categories. Such limitations may include, for example, requirements for a minimal number of repetitions of a particular text object (e.g., key term) or its presence in combination with other text objects (e.g., in combination with certain other key terms), and the like.
In operation, the list of message categories, databases of the key terms and sample messages, values of respective weight factors or similarity scores, can be periodically updated to address new subject matters and changes in semantics of the electronic text messages.
Together, steps 102, 104, and 106 constitute a routine 110 preparing a respective computing device 20 (discussed below in reference to
At step 122, a new electronic text message (for example, email or a portion thereof or an electronic version of a text document of any origin) is acquired by the computing device 20.
At step 124, a language (or languages) of the electronic text message is identified and, optionally, in step 125, certain pre-selected words or symbols in the message (for example, articles, prepositions, punctuation, and the like) are suppressed (i.e., ignored or filtered), or modified to take into account various spammer "tricks", such as replacing the letter "o" with a zero in some words, or replacing the letter lower case "L" with a "one" (numeral), or adding text to a message that has the same color as the background color (i.e., invisible to the human eye, but nonetheless perceived as text by the computer).
At step 126, using the database of sample messages (discussed in reference to step 106), the degree of similarity of the received message is calculated, relative to all the sample messages in the database. Also, it will be appreciated that rather than comparing the received message itself directly with every sample message in the database (which is a feasible, if a "brute force" approach), it is more computationally efficient to compare representations of the message to representations of the sample messages. Specifically, both the received message and the sample messages can be filtered, to remove unnecessary punctuation, dashes, noise words, words that generally carry little information (such as prepositions, articles, and so on). Also, words (or text strings) that are longer than some predefined threshold (for example, longer than 30 or 40 characters) can be a priori view as noise. Also, since spammers frequently insert such random sequences of letters into spam messages, in order to defeat bitwise, or signature, comparison, the presence of such long "noise" strings can be viewed as an additional red flag, in favor of spam. Morphological normalization can also be performed on the received message (as well as on the sample messages, to reduce the number of "distinct" sample messages that are minor variations of each other).
At step 128, using the database of key terms (discussed in reference to step 104), key terms, if any, are detected and identified in the received electronic text message.
Together, steps 122, 124, 125, 126, and 128 constitute a routine 120 preparing the electronic text message for analysis and/or filtering in the computing device 20 of
At step 132, a weight factor of the electronic text message is calculated using, for example, the criteria applied, at step 104, to define weight factors of the key terms. In one embodiment, the weight factor of the electronic text message is defined as a sum or a normalized sum of the weight factors of the key terms that have been identified in the message at step 128. If at least one of the key terms detected in the electronic text message is a characteristic key term, the method 100 proceeds to step 150 (shown with a link 133), otherwise the method proceeds to step 134.
As will be appreciated, some of the key terms can have a higher weight assigned them than others, particularly as it relates to analysis for spam. For example, the term "Viagra" is by itself not a 100% guarantee that the message is spam—it is conceivable that illegitimate message could mention Viagra. Thus, the key term "Viagra" can be assigned a weight of, for example, 75%. On the other hand, the presence of a key term (in this case, key phrase) "buy Viagra now" can be assigned a very high weight, for example, 99%, or close to 100%, on the theory that a legitimate message is extremely unlikely to have that particular key term. Furthermore, the presence of certain tricks that spammers use to deceive spam filtering software is itself a potential red flag. For example, if the word "Viagra" was misspelled, for example, in the manner "V1agra", "Viaggra", "Viiagra", etc., then, while the key term itself may still be viewed as "Viagra," the weight assigned to this term can now be raised higher.
At step 134, the method 100 queries if the sum of the weight factors for all of the key terms in the electronic text message exceeds a first pre-determined threshold T1. If the query of step 134 is answered negatively, the method 100 proceeds to step 136 (shown with a link 137), where the similarity to any sample message in the relevant to the categories and sub-categories of step 102 is noted and the message is classified as one not associated with any of such categories or sub-categories. The message can then be passed on to the user (step 154), if it is not similar to any sample message to any category.
If the query of step 134 is answered affirmatively, the text message is considered to be associated with the respective category or sub-category, and the method 100 proceeds to step 150 (shown with a link 135). The system 100 then proceeds (151) to receive a new message.
At step 126, a similarity score of the electronic text message is calculated using, for example, the criteria applied at step 106, to define similarity between the received message relative to the sample messages. At step 144, the method 100 queries if the similarity score of the electronic text message exceeds a second pre-determined threshold T2 for any of the sample messages in the database, then the message is considered to belong to that category or subcategory. If the query of step 144 is answered negatively, the method 100 proceeds to step 146 (shown with a link 147), where the message is classified as one not sufficiently similar to any of the sample messages.
If the query of step 144 is answered affirmatively, the text message is considered to be associated with the respective category or sub-category, and the method 100 proceeds to step 150 (shown with a link 145). Otherwise, the message is passed on to the user (step 154).
At step 150, a list is composed of all categories or sub-categories associated, at either steps 132, 134, or 144, with the electronic text message. When no characteristic key terms were found in the electronic text message, a degree of relevance of the message is calculated for each one of such categories or sub-categories. In one embodiment, the degree of relevance of the electronic text message is calculated as a normalized arithmetic mean of the respective weight factor and similarity score of the received message, and the degree of relevance of the messages comprising characteristic key terms with a respective category or sub-category is equal to 1 (or 100%).
At step 152, using a pre-determined algorithm, the electronic text message is classified, or filtered, based on the results of calculating the degree of relevance of the message. For example, the electronic text message or a portion thereof, which degree of relevance with one or more spam-related categories or sub-categories exceeds a third pre-selected threshold T3, may be deleted or isolated. Alternatively, such a message may be selected for further analysis (for example, for tracing the message back to a source of its origin or based on other spam detection algorithms). In other embodiments, only messages which degree of relevance with one or more spam-related categories or sub-categories is less than a fourth pre-selected threshold T4 are made available or transmitted to the respective addressee(s).
As will be appreciated, an alternative to a "loop" that compares the received message to the sample messages one at a time (i.e., the steps 126, 144, 146, 150, etc. on the right half of
Together, steps 132, 134, 136, 144, 146, 150, 152 and 154 constitute a routine 130 of automated analysis and/or filtering of the electronic text message in the computing device 20 of
Upon completion of step 152, the routines 120 and 130 are repeated (shown with a link 151) for remaining electronic text messages of interest.
In alternate embodiments, some method steps of the method 100 may be performed contemporaneously, in parallel, or in a different order. For example, portions of steps 104 and 106 or 134 and 144 may be performed contemporaneously or in parallel. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the order of executing at least a portion of other discussed below method steps may also be modified.
Thus, it will be appreciated, that in
Furthermore, if one or the other process definitively identifies and categorizes a particular message, for example, as spam (regardless of which of the two reaches the verdict first, whether based on presence of key terms, or whether based on sufficient similarity to a sample message), the other process can then be suspended or terminated, now that the received message has been identified as spam with a sufficiently high probability.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the task of comparing the message to sample messages stored in a database is preferably be performed for each category and subcategory. It should be noted that the same message could conceivably relate to more than one category. For example, the same spam message could be identified as belonging both to a "get rich quick scheme" category and to a "penny stock scam category." Thus, the steps illustrated in elements 126, 144, 145, 146, 147, 150 and 152 are performed for each sample message in the database for each category, and for all the categories (or, optionally, for all the categories that the user has identified as being relevant to him).
Additionally, morphological transformation may need to be performed, to convert the words into their basic, or root form (for example, to avoid having to deal with the words America, American, Americanize as separate words, the root (America) can be used in the representation. Also, either techniques can be used to reduce the representation to the smaller "footprint" such as stripping out carriage returns, periods, and other punctuations.
Note also that the degree of morphological analysis (and consequently the amount of morphological complexities) are generally language-dependent. For example, the English language has some morphological complexities, but not as many as others. On the other hand, the Russian language has a much richer structure in terms of conjugation of verbs, roots, and so forth. Other languages can have their own complexities, for example, the German language has a particular "issue" with length of the words, since long compound words are much more common in German than in other European languages.
Additionally, normalization and morphological analysis may be performed to address attempts by spammers to use different alphabets. For example, the English letter "X" and the Cyrillic letter "X" look the same, although they have a different sound, but, more importantly, the same word (e.g., "SEX" written using only English letters, or using "SE" in English encoding and "X" using a Cyrillic encoding) would appear to be different words. Similarly, the English letter "P" and the Cyrillic letter "P" (which has an "r" sound) look identical, but require different encoding. The main language of the message can be identified, and the letters from different alphabets normalized, to a single language.
Additionally, it will be appreciated that fuzzy logic can also be used to more quickly identify whether any of the words or phrases in the received message match up with any of the key terms in the database.

Never thought I'd be a professional footballer, says Cristiano Ronaldo
Madrid: Portuguese footballer and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo said he never believed as a child that he would turn a professional one day. He began training with Andorinha — a club on his home island of Madeira.
Cristiano Ronaldo
"In my family we all love football. I remember one day I was playing in the street and my father told me: 'Why don't you train at the club when I go to work?' I said 'yes, why not?' So, I started to play," Ronaldo was quoted as saying by goal.com.
"I went to train every day and enjoyed being part of the team. I never thought I'll become a professional or go to Man United, Real Madrid or Sporting. At that time, I just wanted to enjoy myself."

text: Okay Mossy experts......help me out here............ I just ordered my 930 SPX, it'll be here in a few days. I wanted the pistol grip version for the PG and the 13" length of pull. Wasn't able to get that done, and I already know that the 14" LOP on the standard 930 SPX version is going to be too long for me. What are my options for a replacement stock (both PG and non PG) with a shorter LOP ? Choate ? Ramline ? Knoxx ? Replies appreciated while I continue to research
