For actress/singer/director Connie Stevens, it's always been about "me and the girls" -- her actress daughters Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher from her short-lived marriage to singer Eddie Fisher. "They've always been the light in my eye," said Stevens, 78. "And I have found the older I get, that's really what counts anyway." And her daughters, who were just toddlers when she divorced Fisher in 1969, went with her when she performed in Las Vegas or made a movie -- Eddie Fisher, who battled substance abuse for years, wasn't part of their lives when they were growing up. And it wasn't too long before the Fisher girls would join their mom on stage.

Francisco is the Founder and CEO of cortical.io, Francisco's medical background in genetics combined with over two decade's of experience in Information Technology, inspired him to create a groundbreaking technology, called Semantic Folding, which is based on the latest findings on the way the human neocortex processes information. Francisco founded Matrixware Information Services, a company that developed the first standardized database of patents. Francisco also initiated the Information Retrieval Facility, a non-profit research institute, with the goal to bridge the gap between science and industry in the information retrieval domain.

I am a big fan of the authors 1999 book on Statistical Natural Language Processing, and I and was thrilled when I found this new book online -- just search for "Information Retrieval" on Google. In these two books, they describe the theory behind a vast toolbox which can be used to construct new tools/products for the Internet. Now I can go back to them when the need arises. For starters, I appreciate the detailed theoretical explanations of topics that I could not find in other texts, and the references to related work are especially helpful. One of the other books I read was Information Retrieval by Grossman, which is an older book but has a more condensed style compared to this.

To ease the burden, a group of local entrepreneurs - some of whom are former lawyers - have designed a website that helps lawyers search faster, keep notes and organise their research better. Launched in January, Intelllex, meaning "intelligent law", has already attracted more than 1,000 users - about half of whom are lawyers and the rest law students. Lawyers said it has reduced their research time by 30 to 60 per cent, meaning they can handle more cases. "A junior litigation lawyer spends 35 per cent of his time every day doing research," said Mr Chang.

Legal research can be the bane of every lawyer and law student's existence. From poring over textbooks in law libraries to trawling through cases online and offline to prepare for submissions, it is a process that can take hours.

The service is currently free, but a subscription fee is likely to be introduced next year.

If you are able to read and sufficiently comprehend any text in just a few seconds, you have reached the zenith of a prime human endeavor. For other readers who clock near the average of 230 words per minute and often find yourselves in situations where time is not a luxury, you may find Textdiver very useful. Textdiver is a free online tool developed by Scope Labs that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text Statistics and Data Mining to uncover hidden trends and insights within any text. While the true meaning of a text is very difficult to ascertain with even the most advanced NLP techniques, Textdiver offers readers a content summary based on the text structure and word distribution, from which keywords and core concepts can be inferred. What sets Textdiver apart from many tools is that it goes a step further in offering more comprehensive metrics beyond Word and Character Count. These include: Word Frequencies, Average Word Length, Average Number of Syllables Per Word, Sentence Count, Sentence Length Distribution, Average Sentence Length, Readability (years of formal education needed to understand a text as estimated by the SMOG index), Lexical Density (percentage of content words), Lexical Diversity (percentage of unique lexical words), Estimated Reading Time, Estimated Speaking Time, Average Typing Speed and Webpage Scraping functionalities.

Did you ever think you'd live in a world where the foxiest job title was "Data Scientist," people who build "models" all day? Well, Weird Science has come to pass. This is our new and very exciting reality. Knowledge and experiences are wrapped together for a new set of challenges, from data scientist to developer to marketers. Last year's news that Google was using a new machine learning tool called RankBrain -- used to contribute to its search engine results -- caused a kerfuffle in the SEO world, leaving us wondering just what kind of impact it would have.

A manual action essentially means being (at least temporarily) removed from the search engine's query results page. But in the worst case scenario, it means being entirely removed from the vast Google index. Google engineers call it a "timeout". Like a child who breaks the rules, punishment for a Google penalty is a site being set aside for a period of time. However, a severe penalty is disinclusion from the search engine's index (i.e. total removal).

The internet has transformed the way of obtaining information. Search engines play a crucial role in the process of collecting information. The present innovations and technological advancements have brought a new face to the internet. Jerry Yue has designed a new search engine Brain, which uses artificial intelligence. Jerry Yue has become famous for his earlier startup, Benlai.com.
