В апреле я писал тут про PaydaDosh — открытый словарь и корпус ингушского языка. Та статья была про «вот, собрали всё в одном месте»: 66 тысяч статей, параллельный корпус, ИИ в разделе вопросов. С тех пор прошло два месяца, и проект перестал быть просто словарём. Мы начали строить грамматику — движок, который понимает, как устроено ингушское слово.Это статья про то, как мы это делаем технически: почему ингушская морфология — это... Read more ›

Проверил реализацию Boyer-Moore в TheAlgorithms/Python (190K+ звёзд). Оказалось, что сдвиг bad character записывается в переменную for-цикла, что в Python не имеет эффекта. Алгоритм выдаёт правильные результаты, но работает как brute-force O(nm) вместо O(n/m). Плюс ещё две находки: бесконечный цикл в типичных реализациях full BM и ошибка в оригинальной статье 1977 года, которую исправили только в 1980-м. Читать далее Read more ›

Appearing before the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee this week, three researchers spent much of the session explaining that concern and evidence are not quite the same thing. Asked what evidence exists... Read more ›

Instead, the speech focused on optimism, working on hard things, and following your interests. The omission is notable given how many graduates are entering a job market being reshaped by AI.
