aided by some old nirvana blasting in my headphones, i submitted an abstract, entitled “Low-Cost, Semantic Models of Sentence Salience for Document Summarization” this evening to the doceng conference. i might change the name, but for now, that’s the title. i’ve basically taken my thesis and condensed it down to 4 pages. still needs more condensing, but it’s coming along. maybe i should use my summarizer to summarize it!
i have another paper i’d like to submit, tentatively called “Classifying the Sensitivity of Proprietary Documents Using Ensemble Models” that i need to get to either later tonight or pretty early tomorrow, as the deadline is midnight central european time. let’s see how it goes.
ah, that time zone. miss it sometimes. so many influential people live in that zone — and so many cultures that it seems have found a way to town together in some loose union bound by a single currency.
in the meantime, just trying to eat out of the garden back in the good ole u s of a! another squash tonight; half of our food lately has come from our own li’l piece o’ earth, raised up from seed in 4′x4′ raised beds. now there’s something that’s not abstract, and that we all can truly enjoy!
