Software Recognizes Sarcastic Tweets
An anonymous reader writes "Even humans sometimes fail to recognize sarcasm and irony; can machines do better? An algorithm that identifies sarcastic tweets (PDF) on Twitter and sarcastic sentences in product reviews on Amazon will be presented next week in the International Conference for Weblogs and Social Media in Washington, DC, and in the Computational Natural Language Learning in Sweden in July. A team from the Hebrew University, Israel, has developed an algorithm that identifies sarcastic sentences by using a machine learning technique in which a small number of sarcastic sentences act as seeds for the software to learn and generalize upon. The algorithm can then identify sarcastic sentences that are nothing like the examples. The variety of recognized sarcastic sentences is impressive, though the results are not perfect. But again, we don't do it so well ourselves, do we?"

There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Replying to comments at the top with totally unrelated information just because you want your words to be read is egotastical in a very annoying way.
"Nobody is libeling you by calling you a malware maker. You are one." - by Anonymous Coward

APK's single app listed there passed every question for removal of the 21 points asked by Computer Associates. Explain then how and why it can be classified as a malware by they, if his app passes every point for removal then?
Additionally (and again for the 10th time or more now):
Apk's not the only person that's happened to.
It has also been repeatedly pointed out that Nir Sofer of Nirsoft and also Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft even had have this same thing happen to they also.
The ac apk actually appears to be in good company in fact on this note.
You also fail to mention that apk was told by an attorney that he has a winning case worth $150,000 U.S. Dollars versus Computer Associates for libeling he thus, and, that CA now lists his app WITH ZERO THREAT LEVELS (because apk violates none of the questions they list on their removal test from their lists. Funny they STILL LIST IT though, even though apk's app violates none of the test items to declare an app, a malware!)
I would also like to mention that for a "malware maker", the ac apk also seems to have written what appears to be the very first and original guide for securing Windows NT based Operating Systems from as far back as 1998 to its present incarnation today that has crossed over 350,000 views worldwide and been made an "essential guide" or "sticky-pinned thread" and certainly in the top 1-10 most viewed threads on the forums it has been featured on, often being rated "5/5 stars" and the like as well.
Results for users of it? Ok, again:

"the use of the hosts file has worked for me in many ways. for one it stops ad banners, it helps speed up your computer as well. if you need more proof i am writing to you on a 400 hertz computer and i run with ease. i do not get 200++ viruses and spy ware a month as i use to. now i am lucky if i get 1 or 2 viruses a month. if you want my opinion if you stick to what APK says in his article about securing your computer then you will be safe and should not get any viruses or spy ware, but if you do get hit with viruses and spy ware then it will your own fault. keep up the good fight APK." - Kings Joker, user of my guide @ THE PLANET

"I recently, months ago when you finally got this guide done, had authorization to try this on simple work station for kids. My client, who paid me an ungodly amount of money to do this, has been PROBLEM FREE FOR MONTHS! I haven't even had a follow up call which is unusual." - THRONKA, user of my guide @ XTremePcCentral

"Its 2009 - still trouble free! I was told last week by a co worker who does active directory administration, and he said I was doing overkill. I told him yes, but I just eliminated the half life in windows that you usually get. He said good point. So from 2008 till 2009. No speed decreases, its been to a lan party, moved around in a move, and it still NEVER has had the OS reinstalled besides the fact I imaged the drive over in 2008. Great stuff! My client STILL Hasn't called me back in regards to that one machine to get it locked down for the kid. I am glad it worked and I am sure her wallet is appreciated too now that it works. Speaking of which, I need to call her to see if I can ge
