Talk:Portable.NET

message: It's a fact that in practice developers choose to use either Mono or Portable.NET, not both. As much as I've seen many projects reoccur in different incarnations between Mono and Portable.NET. The last I saw Portable.NET is in practice inhibited. It would be nice to have some sources for such a statement, to explain why Portable.NET develops very slowly just now (weird things happen in OpenSource, the tides may turn quickly, so this project is just maybe temporary low-activity).

replies: text: Probably better to add something to the page about her being a spiritual medium first, then add the cat.

AlistairMcMillan 16:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your reply. The problem with placing her into the category:spiritual mediums, though technically correct may still be wrong because the term "spiritual medium" is generally reserved for people either from New age channeling or spiritism and I do not think that they see themselves and then members of the children of God as belonging to either one of these movements. I think that the :Category:Christian prophets would be more in accordance with how the followers see Karen Zerby and David Berg (and in the latter case how Berg sees himself). Of course, this could be found objectionable by people who do not accept their claim to be prophets. Andries 16:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Cædmon's Hymn

message: This article really should be a redirect to Cædmon which contains a full treatment of the poem. Anglo-Saxon literature also has summary information on it. So we have various information spread across three articles. I suggest the Cædmon article as the main source because it is the most complete and its better to aggregate if possible. Stbalbach 8 July 2005 12:30 (UTC)
Regarding the claim about paganism in the poem: it is simply not PoV to eliminate this reference--and very much PoV to include it. That Frea is the descendent of a Germanic word referring to secular lord in Pre-Christian times is very well known. Indeed there is a gigantic book on specifically the topic by D.H. Green which covers the term in ALL Germanic languages. In Old English, however, secular lordship terms are VERY thoroughly christianised. Drihten (also = lord in a secular sense) is almost exclusively used for Christian lord in OE; Frea as well. I don't have the stats in front of me but it is 1000s to 1. As Green shows, moreover, there is some evidence that Frea was avoided as Pagan in Gothic: wulfilla doesn't use the term in his translation of the Bible; the fact that is not avoided in Christian contexts in Anglo-Saxon contexts--indeed they seem to have liked using the word--suggests there is no real vestigal paganism here.
Finally, the claim that frea is some hidden or vestigal survival of paganism is nonsensical in any informed reading of the text: a true pagan frea would not be the beginning of all things; and there is no textual evidence whatsoever to suggest that Caedmon's Hymn is a Christianised version of an earlier pagan text. If you want to see real debate on the relationship of pagan past and christian present in Old English, look at the Dream of the Rood or even Beowulf: there the question of L/lord really is at issue.
The person who started this entry asked some time ago for patience while he or she developed the idea. Since then no development has taken place. The idea that  the poem contains hidden paganism is very much non-mainstream and should be marked as such. Since the idea apparently can't be developed past the citation of this book--a scholarly unusual one at that--the reference should be removed or properly contextualised. It is extremely misleading.
-Dan O'Donnell
P.S. I also strongly think that this entry should be rolled into the Caedmon one.
:I agree. It looks to me like someone forked the article to highlite a non-mainstream view. We allready have an article that covers this poem and does so very well, this is a fork which is against policy. --Stbalbach 05:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

The name "meerkat" has a far more mundane origin. Both Dutch and Afrikaans share the word "more" in the form "meer".  The "meer" in the name has nothing to do with water in any form - keep in mind that meerkats inhabit desert and semi-desert areas.  The early Dutch settlers in South Africa did not quite know what to make of this odd animal, but decided that it is "meer kat dan hond" (i.e. "more cat than dog"), hence the name. "Stokstaartje" is the name currently used in Dutch.Jpr821 (talk) 08:03, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Topic-based vector space model

message: The 2nd reference (http://kuropka.net/files/HPI_Evaluation_of_eTVSM.pdf) contains portions of Wikipedia's LSA article word-for-word: 
Wikipedia:
Some of LSA's drawbacks include:
* The resulting dimensions might be difficult to interpret. For instance, in {(car), (truck), (flower)} --> {(1.3452 * car + 0.2828 * truck), (flower)} the (1.3452 * car + 0.2828 * truck) component could be interpreted as "vehicle". However, it is very likely that cases close to  {(car), (bottle), (flower)} --> {(1.3452 * car + 0.2828 * bottle), (flower)} will occur. This leads to results which can be justified on the mathematical level, but have no interpretable meaning in natural language.
* LSA cannot capture Polysemy (i.e., multiple meanings of a word), because it represents each word as a single point in space.
* The probabilistic model of LSA does not match observed data: LSA assumes that words and documents form a joint Gaussian model (ergodic  hypothesis), while a Poisson distribution has been observed. Thus, a newer alternative is probabilistic latent semantic analysis, based on a multinomial model, which is reported to give better results than standard LSA.[4]
The eTVSM technical report:
Some general LSI drawbacks are:
* The resulting dimensions might be difficult to interpret. This leads to results which can be justified on the mathematical level, but have no interpretable mean-ing in natural language;
* LSA, in general, assumes that words and documents form a joint Gaussian model (a Poisson distribution is observed). A newer alternative is a probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis [29] based on a multinomial model. It is reported to give better results than standard LSA.
This, in addition to the fact that this model does not seem to be peer reviewed in any real IR literature (only Business Information Systems 2003), significantly weakens this article to such an extent that I do not feel that it meets Wikipedia standards.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.193.224.9 (talk) 23:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
