We often treat everything as simple or complicated and there is more complexity ad chaos than we acknowledge.

A Data Scientist's Real Job: Storytelling | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it
Crunching numbers is only half the battle.
Mariana Soffer's insight:

Using Big Data successfully requires human translation and context whether it's for your staff or the people your organization is trying to reach. Without a human frame, like photos or words that make emotion salient, data will only confuse, and certainly won't lead to smart organizational behavior.

Data gives you the what, but humans know the why.

The best business decisions come from intuitions and insights informed by data. Using data in this way allows your organization to build institutional knowledge and creativity on top of a solid foundation of data-driven insights.

Agent-Based Models of Strategies for the Emergence and Evolution of Grammatical Agreement

Agent-Based Models of Strategies for the Emergence and Evolution of Grammatical Agreement | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it

Grammatical agreement means that features associated with one linguistic unit (for example number or gender) become associated with another unit and then possibly overtly expressed, typically with morphological markers. It is one of the key mechanisms used in many languages to show that certain linguistic units within an utterance grammatically depend on each other. Agreement systems are puzzling because they can be highly complex in terms of what features they use and how they are expressed. Moreover, agreement systems have undergone considerable change in the historical evolution of languages. This article presents language game models with populations of agents in order to find out for what reasons and by what cultural processes and cognitive strategies agreement systems arise.

The Heart and Craft of Life Writing: What’s the Difference Between an Essay and a Story? | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it

In general, personal essays are well-suited for the overall purpose of Story in making sense of experiences and perceptions. The essay writing process helps arrange reflective fragments into insights and coherent story. Once this basic understanding is in place, it can be embellished and polished into a work of art by employing description, dialogue, plot, and other tools that add impact for readers.

Phys. Rev. X 3, 021006 (2013): Stochastic Model for the Vocabulary Growth in Natural Languages | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it

What cultural and social processes determine the size and growth of the vocabulary of a natural language? Does such a vocabulary grow forever? From large text databases, such as the Google Ngram, that have become available only recently, researchers tease out new and systematic insights into these fundamental questions and develop a mathematical model with predictive power that describes vocabulary growth as a simple stochastic process.

Mariana Soffer's insight:

The logician and philosopher Richard Montague argued that natural languages do have a very systematic semantic structure, but that it can be understood only if one uses a rich enough logic to mirror the rich syntactic structure of natural languages. This essay briefly sketches the history of arguments about the relation between natural language syntax and logical structure,

The Stories Ontology

The Stories Ontology | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it
Mariana Soffer's insight:

Stories are present throughout our everyday lives and our history: books, film, television, and radio weave events into narrative and plot; myths and legends are passed between generations; news stories describe both ongoing and past events. These stories often share similar themes, characters, items, and locations: by providing an approach to linking these items together, stories can become powerfully navigable, discoverable, and open to new analysis and creation techniques. The Stories ontology was developed in collaboration with the BBC, with an aim to creating an ontology for narrative representation that could be applied across a diverse set of cases.

Mining Tweets for Public Opinion

Mining Tweets for Public Opinion | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it
Twitter, Facebook and other social media contain tantalizing signals about public opinion. Extracting that from the noise is the challenge facing a new batch of researchers.
Steve Miller's curator insight, March 12, 2:27 PM

Read through this article with the recent Pew Research Center study on public opinion and Twitter in hand. While this is a positive perspective on the potential of Twitter to measure the pulse of public opinion, I think it confirms that Twitter is much more reactive than predictive. Does that mean Twitter is useless as a tool to gauge, or more important, shape public opinion? Not as long as you keep its limitations in mind, that Twitter is more a lightening strike in time versus the snapshot ascribed to polls and surveys. Like lightening, Twitter in highly unpredictable.

21 Emotions with No English Word Equivalents

21 Emotions with No English Word Equivalents | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it
Martin Daumiller's curator insight, January 18, 6:26 AM

Design student Pei-Ying Lin took Parrot|s Classification of Human Emotions as a base and tried to add different emotions to it, which don't exist in English, but in other languages, such as Hebrew, Russian, German, Italian, Mandarin, etc.

She tried to express similarities and closeness to other emotions and managed to visualize the relationship between the foreign emotion-words and the English ones.

In Lins words, her project is one "that investigates human emotions and languages. By re-looking at how humans communicate, it searches for a way to connect our inner self and personal emotions, through the design of a personal language and several new ways of communication. It is an investigation of how language can be improvised to connect our emotions in this multilingual world."

This is a nice example and visualization of the culture-rootedness of emotions. It underlines the historical and social background necessary for the development of a certain set-of-mind required to feel and express specific emotions.

Infographics can be great link building tools. Many folks assume that developing great infographics is too hard. In reality, it is pretty straight forward if you keep things simple, sweet, and to the point. You are going to need a good looking visual too. Covering a trending topic helps as well.

Carl Jung’s Archetypes | Wired Cosmos

Carl Jung’s Archetypes | Wired Cosmos | Natural Language Programming | Scoop.it

In order to understand archetypes we must understand the nature and function of the collective unconscious. According to Jung, the collective unconscious is not like the personal unconscious as first introduced by psychoanalysis. It is detached from the personal unconscious because it belongs to the human species as a whole. It is inherited, just as physical aspects of our bodies are inherited. Because of this, a human being does not enter the world as a blank slate but rather with the innate and inherited tendencies of the collective unconscious. These tendencies are what Jung termed “archetypes.”
