A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them - Steve Jobs Here is an excerpt from the book The Long Tail by Chris Anderson: “In 1988, a British mountain climber named Joe Simpson wrote a book called ‘Touching the Void’, a harrowing account of near death in the Peruvian Andes. It got good reviews but, only a modest success, it was soon … [Read more...] about The Remarkable World of Recommender Systems
Better Sentiment Analysis with BERT
Imagine you have a bot answering your clients, and you want to make it sound a little bit more natural, more human. To achieve that, you have to make the answers more personalized. One way to learn more about the customers you’re talking to is to analyze the polarity of their answers. By polarity here I mean detecting if the sentence (or group of sentences) is written with … [Read more...] about Better Sentiment Analysis with BERT
