Tech Note: Content Analysis and Tag Suggestions

Making metadata easier
LGF • Views: 29,127

We have a very cool new feature in LGF Pages today; to help you easily pick appropriate tags for your Pages, we now have a magical “Suggest Tags” button that will analyze the text of your post and extract the relevant keywords, then show you a list of alphabetically sorted tags and let you click on the ones you want to use.

No, I didn’t write the analysis code myself; there’s no point in reinventing the wheel when AlchemyAPI already exists; this set of content analysis tools uses advanced statistical and linguistic algorithms to find the most appropriate and important words and phrases in your text. In testing I found that it did an excellent job with most of the text I threw at it — sometimes amazingly accurate, in fact.

Here’s what it looks like when you click the “Suggest Tags” button in the LGF Pages bookmarklet, using an excerpt from Roger Ebert’s review of the film “Chinatown:”

To add tags to your post, just click on them in the list. Now, adding relevant metadata to your LGF Pages takes just a few clicks, and pays off in many ways. Search engines see them, and you can search and browse by tags in the LGF Pages main index.

(And by the way, all the tags for this post were suggested by AlchemyAPI.)

If you type in the word “Bachmann,” what will the magical tag wizard come up with?

It might be the easiest to use feature yet rolled out on LGF. I’m loving it.

Code like this is magic to me.
Tech sufficiently beyond my understanding looks like magic. Arthur Clarke was right.

That is certainly telling. The only thing Romney rates lower in is health care. The governor who has the best record of health coverage in his state is rated lower than the governor with about the worst.

I’ll put it this way. If the liner for the pond is 10 feet wide and the pond will be 8 feet wide, you can’t have it 2 feet deep because the liner has to go up the sides. I found out the exact measurements at the 22 inch mark.

Afghanistan signs major treaty with India, shuns Pakistan

Two developments set the tone: In New Delhi, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan signed a wide-ranging strategic partnership with India, which Pakistan regards as its principal adversary. Mr. Karzai’s visit also underscored the growing economic and security ties between India and Afghanistan.

And here in Kabul, intelligence officials investigating the assassination of the head of Afghanistan’s peace process said that Pakistan was refusing to cooperate with their inquiry and had failed to crack down on Taliban leaders who, the Afghans say, planned the killing from inside Pakistan.

Both moves were all but certain to draw further ire from Pakistan.

Remember when the WSJ called on Buffett to release his tax returns?

Well, Buffett is calling their bluff. He’ll release his returns, with only one condition:

Last week, News Corp’s Wall Street Journal editorial board told the billionaire behind the president’s “Buffett Rule” that, instead of calling for America’s wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes, Warren Buffett should “educate the public” by allowing “everyone else in on his secrets of tax avoidance by releasing his tax returns.” Today at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Buffett wholeheartedly agreed to release his tax returns to the public. He just has one condition: “I think it might be a terrific idea if [the Wall Street Journal] would just ask their boss, Rupert Murdoch, and he and I will meet at Fortune, and we’ll both give you our tax returns and you can publish them.” Buffett noted, “I’m ready tomorrow morning.” Murdoch has yet to respond.

I’ll bet eleventy bajillion dollars that Murdoch stays mum and the WSJ quietly drops the whole thing.

Spencer and Geller disavow John Jay, claim he is not a affiliated with them

But, Jay’s name and signature appears on the articles of incorporation for American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an umbrella organization for which Geller is the executive director. Geller and Spencer claim Jay was never a board member and is not affiliated in any way. Geller writes that while Jay helped establish the organization, he is not a member of the board:

Last year I was in a rush to get the organization off the ground, and enlisted [Jay’s] help and that of several others. At that time I hadn’t yet chosen the board members or the key players in the organization. Jay helped me out so I could get the incorporation papers filed, but was never a Board member or a part of the organizational structure in any way. He was gone almost as soon as he was there, and is not a member of AFDI.

Spencer emails a similar statement saying, Jay “is not on the Board now, never has been, and is not a member of the organization.”

However, this seems to conflict with a blog post Spencer wrote in August of last year after Jay stirred controversy with a different call to arms. In that post on his Jihad Watch blog, Spencer wrote about the “misrepresentations of some writings by John Jay, a member of the SIOA Board.” SIOA is Stop the Islamization Of America, an organization also headed by Geller and connected to AFDI.

ThinkProgress included this in our original post and asked Spencer to clarify. “He was never a board member. I don’t recall saying he was, but if I did, it was in error.” That was “was a mistake on my part,” Spencer wrote in another email after ThinkProgress provided a link to his post.

Rosendahl and Garcetti, the two council members who remained, called for equality in fiery speeches. When Garcetti shouted, “This is your City Hall!” the crowd repeated, “This is our City Hall!”

“Stay as long as you need,” Garcetti told them. “We’re here to support you.”

Anybody following the fracas between Grover Norquist and Rep. Frank Wolf?

Wolf has done a press release and read a statement on the House floor:

[Link: wolf.house.gov…]

It’s got five points, but No.2 is the one that interests me: it claims Norquist is tied to a Hamas supporter and financier named Sami Al-Arian. Though No.5—Norquist’s advocating of moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States, including 9/11 mastermind Khaled Sheik Mohammed—strikes me as non sequitor at least.

Is this claim part of, or affiliate with, the blogger scare-mongering that Norquist is part of Creeping Sharia because of his wife?

If Grover Norquist is part of creeping Sharia, at least we’ll know it’s tax-free creeping sharia.

Got a job yet?

I’ve had one at a start up from over a year now. The pay isn’t great at the moment but there’s no time like when you’re fresh out of college to build your resume but not your bank account by working at a start up with possible huge payouts if things turn out right.

The other plus side is it keeps you out of Wall Street, I suppose.

Then? I had to go to the DMV to get my license un-“un-licensed”.

Did both in under an hour.

That is certainly telling. The only thing Romney rates lower in is health care. The governor who has the best record of health coverage in his state is rated lower than the governor with about the worst.

What is wrong with these people?

Absolutely. The uninsured rate in MA is only 5%, one of the lowest in the country, and Romney has to run away from that record to get the gop nod. Perry, on the other hand, has a 25% uninsured rate in TX, and that’s no problem…maybe a badge of honor to gop primary voters because “there sure as hell ain’t no socializmz down in Texas.”

Totally ass-backwards.

It’s only class warfare when it comes from below.

No such thing as class warfare when it comes from above. Example: Perry calls it an “injustice” that the bottom 45% in America pay no fed. income taxes. What he leaves out is that the bottom 45% control a whopping 1.5% of the nation’s wealth. Seriously, what the hell are these people supposed to pay with? They don’t have the money to begin with.

Hey John Jay…that key with the lowercase letters reading s-h-i-f-t doesn’t mean adjust yourself around the underwear stuck up your ass…it creates capital letters (A,B,C…there are 26 potential capital letters).

So what was it that made you ‘persona non sure-about’?

Yesterday we got the tax bill for a trailer we have in another county. Because of the New Improved Alabama Hates Chickenplukers Law, my wife and I have to drive to that county seat and prove our citizenship to pay the registration fee.

They pay plenty of tax, from employment taxes to property taxes to sales taxes to vehicle taxes and bank tax (interest) and health tax (insurance). Sorry Washington, nothing left.

Speaking of class warfare… I had to go out and drive around a bit at lunch today, to crank up the volume and fully enjoy this little corrido from Ry Cooder’s latest:

The outlaw Jesse James was up in heaven
With old friends around the kingdom throne
Boys I was branded as a bandit and bank robber
But I never turned a family from their home

We’re sworn to pass no judgments here in heaven
But there’s goings on a man can’t stand no more
There’s no open carry up in heaven
But please give me back my trusty .44

Con permiso yo me voy to dear old Wall Street
My .44 will do the talking from now on
I’ll cut you down to size my banking brothers
Put that bonus money back where it belongs

You picked the pockets of los pobrecitos
Spreading hardship and trouble through the land
Sus sirvientes pago bien para sus faIsas
That’s what Jesse James could never understand

Un minuto a rezar y un segundo para morir
That’s all you birds will ever get from me
You lined your pockets well but I’ll see you all in hell
Quemando como dinero for all eternity

*no actual shooting recommended
** but a catchy little tune, isn’t it?

True, and paying property taxes doesn’t make one rich, or even over the top 45%. Lots of cities, Houston for example, have very cheap single family homes. In Houston half the homes are under 150k. And those owners have a tough enough time already.
