5 things I learned from working in print

Ines Montani

For four years, I worked for a popular print magazine, developing marketing strategies, selling advertising space and coordinating partnerships. Being a monthly publication, we often jokingly compared it to giving birth once a month: at first you get all excited, then it becomes super hard and you want to die and then all of a sudden it’s over, you’re happy and hold the result in your hands and already forgot about all of the pain.

Dead Code Should Be Buried

Explosion

Natural Language Processing moves fast, so maintaining a good library means constantly throwing things away. Most libraries are failing badly at this, as academics hate to editorialize. This post explains the problem, why it's so damaging, and why I wrote spaCy to do things differently.

Introducing spaCy

Explosion

Computers don't understand text. This is unfortunate, because that's what the web almost entirely consists of. We want to recommend people text based on other text they liked. We want to shorten text to display it on a mobile screen. We want to aggregate it, link it, filter it, categorise it, generate it and correct it. spaCy provides a library of utility functions that help programmers build such products.

How spaCy Works

Explosion

This post was pushed out in a hurry, immediately after spaCy was released. It explains some of how spaCy is designed and implemented, and provides some quick notes explaining which algorithms were used. The post pre-dates spaCy's named entity recogniser, but it provides some detail about the tokenisation algorithm, general design, and efficiency concerns.

How spaCy Works

Explosion

The following are some hasty preliminary notes on how spaCy works. The short story is, there are no new killer algorithms. The way that the tokenizer works is novel and a bit neat, and the parser has a new feature set, but otherwise the key algorithms are well known in the recent literature. This post was pushed out in a hurry, immediately after spaCy was released.

Get Better Network Graphs & Save Analysts Time

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them

Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.

Introducing spaCy

Explosion

spaCy is a new library for text processing in Python and Cython. I wrote it because I think small companies are terrible at natural language processing (NLP). Or rather: small companies are using terrible NLP technology. This post shows the original launch announcement for spaCy , which came with some usage examples and benchmarks. The benchmarks are quite out of date, but I’m pleased to say usage has changed relatively little.

I fell for self-help so you don’t have to

Ines Montani

I hate to admit it, but during my late teenage years and the beginning of my adult life, I massively fell for self-help blogs. I was unhappy, didn’t particularly like myself and had no idea where I would end up one day so I started spending hours on the internet looking for “answers”. (Yeah, this probably sounds familiar.) I was never particularly interested in conventional luxuries - think fancy hotels, designer s**t, glitter and cupcakes - but for a while I believed that this is what I needed
