Personally, I try to avoid journal publications, at least the ones following traditional review systems, and go only for special issues and fast track reviews in workshops/conferences. Also, I think that submitting research work for publication in new open journals as the Semantic Web Journal of IOS press, is probably a modern trend and will be soon spread out in the whole research community. Simply, there is no other way anymore. The world is changing, the research is changing…!!!

They also had Watson analyze and index its database for the differences people the 5 W cases so that it could ask the right question for the points. I don’t remember whether or not it knew the difference between fact or fiction but I’m not sure it needed to.

Herman writes, “Giuseppe Rizzo made a presentation related to all the tools we know have to tag texts and thereby being able to use these resources in linked data (“NERD meets NIF: Lifting NLP Extraction Results to the Linked Data Cloud”), i.e., the Zemanta or Open Calais services of this World. As these services become more and more important, having a clear view of what they can do, how one can use them individually or together, etc., is essential. Their project, called NERD, will become an important source for this community, bookmark that page.” [...]

I did some rough headcounts, which suggested we consistently had 130+ people throughout the day, rising to 160+ for the panel (standing room only). Thanks to everyone who attended and contributed. Hope to see you all at LDOW2013…

Great. That being said, the way he decided to resign (via a speech in the parliament, no less!), and the way the ruling party around him reacted, was far from “decent”. Essentially: I was right, I did not do anything wrong, people who revealed this issue are at fault, we are the victims of the liberal left, etc, etc. Sigh…

I hope Hungary will find a decent successor!

it may have taken months, but he did it. Based on what I heard and saw, I have my doubts that this would happen in Hungary, though. But I hope you are right…

Eventually, public pressure mounted up too much for him to stay in office. The same may still happen for Mr Schmitt. I do hope that plagiarism does not turn out to be tied to a German-sounding name, though. ;-)
