I live in Algarve, in Portugal. I apologize for my bad English. I am posting this report, because I believe it will help many people like me.
About 1 month ago my life took another direction, after the most magic, intense and wonderful experience of my life.
I used to suffer of depression, anxiety and syndrome of the panic.  I had tried suicide several times. I never understood the reason for that, nor any therapist or psychoanalyst. Sometimes I was interned, I passed some years of my adolescence from one clinic to another, and sometimes in hospitals, while I should be having fun and making friends. The anti-depressants softened my suffering, but they didn't heal it, and in a certain way they seemed to worsen my condition.
At the end of my adolescence, when I was 19 years old my general mental health was better and I started to study in normal schools, I could make friends. But along to this freedom I began to use drugs, at first Marijuana, later the Cocaine, I became a heavy cocaine addicted and I started to spend all my family's money without their knowledge. I got to use PCP and Ecstasy. My family never knew, just my psychoanalyst, that continued prescribing anti-depressants and saying always the same thing: “Stop with that”, but never pointed me a real solution.
In 2001 I had heard about the Amazonian sacramental brew through Internet, called Ayahuasca, and also fantastic healing reports related to it. So I started an incessant search for this precious sacred brew. In 2003 I found in a Dutch smartshop a Kit for analogue Ayahuasca, with Mimosa hostilis bark and Peganum harmala seeds. I bought 7 kits, however none of the preparations, in any amount, produced any vision or healing. I was disappointed and forgot the subject for some time.
In 2007 I found the powder of the Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis ready for brewing, I bought 5 kits. I just felt a light euphoria with the content of the 5 kits taken in an unique dose. The material is good, however very very thin. I continued to use these kits, sometimes I could feel something and eventually to see images (as a dreamy-like state, but not vivid), my life was changing slowly, the depression was no longer severe and I felt these mixtures were healing me indeed.
Recently I found a genuine Ayahuasca supplier in Brazil. I was suspicious, but I decided to take the risk. So I ordered the 0.5 liter bottle for 10 doses. It was 12 countless days of wait and anxiety, but finally the order arrived! It comes in a 50ml tube, the Ayahuasca comes very viscous, as polish, to be mixed and restored with water, and I did that.
I went by car to my parents' country house in the mountains (Serra da Estrela), I was alone. I cleaned the room, lit some incenses, put to play the icaros CD that they sent me (very good songs), I lied down on an old mattress and I took the dose of 50 ml.
After 1 hour I only felt a light euphoria and I judged that they deceived me. But I took more 200 ml thinking that the tea was thin, the flavor is very bitter, it is different from everything that I ingested.
After that I didn't count the time, but something was approximating, I don't know how to explain that exactly, I was afraid, the wind blew and whistled, and I saw through the window that it was snowing, it was very cold outside, however I was protected by 3 covers. I noticed that my audition was better than usual, behind the music I could hear what people were talking at 200 meters or more.
Suddenly I felt falling in a hole and my conscience started to dance, it produced spirals, it was simply moving in the space around, and that was not the physical space. Everything was so vivid, so real! Then I felt an strong nausea, I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't get up. Luckily I had prepared a pot, and left it near me, with an effort I lifted my head and vomited inside the pot. When I opened my eyes, for my surprise, there was a mixture of cocaine, cigarettes, pills and maybe also blood. I entered in despair. I Remember a voice that was not mine, a female sweet voice, that told me to be calm, that the despair would not help me. I got to calm down. The visions were intense, very fast, I could capture just a few of them.
At a certain moment I saw myself as a child, perhaps 4 or 5 years old, in a spring day in a park of my city (Faro). Many children, maybe 7 or 8, approached me and started to attack me, they swore bad words, they renounced me, they said for me to leave that place. They were children in my age and older, my parents didn't do anything noticing the situation, they thought it was child's game. I cried, cried, and when I opened the eyes noticed that I was shouting, crying very loud, with the face soaked by tears.
I cried for more than 1 hour.
So I understood from where my suffering become and when it began. My subconscious used to tell me I was an unwanted person, that I didn't deserve to live and for that I was punishing myself. Then the cry ceased, I felt an wonderful well-being sensation and peace, as I never felt before, and an incredible gratitude for the life. At this moment I could not more see images, however my conscience was still dancing and traveling around me, but I was back to the material plan in 90% I suppose.
My family doesn't know about this experience, but I intend to tell them soon. The fact is the people are amazed with my life change. Immediately after the experience I threw out to the garbage all my medicines, the cigarettes and the cocaine that I brought with me. More than ever I have the power to live. I feel that my body, mind and soul are united again, and the discipline is my friend. I began to pratice exercises and eating raw food (actually not 100%, but it will be soon), I got health and lost 17 kilos in less than one month. I believe in god, in the life and in people.
Ayahuasca brought me the life.
After this experience I had other 2 experiences, the last one yesterday, for what I decided to talk about. These experiences reinforced what I learnt, as well as they brought new resolutions.

Celtic fans to dwarf Lazio numbers as ticket sales for Europa League clash revealed
Over half of the tickets sold for the match have gone to visiting fans.
by Gabriel McKayCeltic fans could vastly outnumber Lazio for Thursday's Europa League clash, as the Italian club reveals slow ticket sales.
The competition is not one which particularly captures the imagination in Italy, with Lazio averaging just 16,000 fans last season, compared to around 37,000 in Serie A.
The Stadio Olimpico has a capacity of over 70,000 and Celtic supporters could well be the majority for the match.
Marketing director Marco Canigiani said on Lazio Style Radio : "A bus service will be available for Lazio-Celtic, but it's directly proportional to the demand from the fans for this match.
"For the game on Thursday we've sold over 14,000 tickets but the majority of that number has gone to Celtic. We expect a growth in sales of those available to Biancocelesti fans.
"Thursday will be an important match in terms of qualification, the team will need support for it.
"The prices are also very reasonable for Thursday's match, hopefully we can be in the majority at the Stadio Olimpico considering there will be around 9,000 fans from Scotland in the away end."
The Curva Nord where Lazio's Irriducibili ultras sit will be closed for the game, after fans gave fascist salutes in the last home game against Rennes.


Welcome to Tape-to-Tape Our aim is to be a different kind of hockey blog. You won't find in-depth game recaps here, nor will you find too much game analysis, though we will dedicate some time to analytics. Our blog will cover the less-talked about aspects of the game, and will focus more on stories and less on analysis. This is not just an NHL-blog. We're hockey people. We love all aspects of the game, from days spent on frozen ponds to early morning skate-and-shoots. Our goal is to share our passion for the game we love with others who live and breathe hockey. We hope you'll enjoy our blog!


A standoff support for spacing a ladder and ladder jack from a roof. Two pairs of rods are pivotably mounted to a horizontally extending member mounted atop a ladder jack secured to a ladder. The rods are extended outwardly from the mounting member to stabilize and limit movement of the ladder jack and ladder relative to the roof.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of supports used to hold a ladder in stable relationship to a slanted or unslanted roof.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Ladder jacks, one example of which is shown in figref[FIGS. 1 and 2] , are devices that are used to mount to a ladder for supporting a scaffold or other platform atop the ladder jack. Ladder jacks are commercially available. For example, ladder jacks are available from Werner Co. Corporate Headquarters, 93 Werner Road, Greenville, Pa. 16125.
A typical ladder jack 30 (figref[FIGS. 1 and 2] ) includes a horizontally extending member 31 pivotally and slideably mounted to the top end of angular member 32. Member 31 is also pivotally mounted to a downwardly extending member 33 having a bottom end pivotally mounted to the bottom of angular member 32. A pair of downwardly opening C-shaped walls 34 and 35 attached to member 33 are slipped over the horizontally extending rungs of a conventional extension ladder 40. A scaffold or platform 41 rests atop and is supported by member 31.
Typically, two ladder jacks are positioned one at each end of scaffold 41 to support the opposite ends thereof and thus, a pair of extension ladders are used with each ladder receiving a ladder jack. figref[FIG. 1] shows one such ladder jack mounted to a ladder and supporting one end of the scaffold. figref[FIG. 2] shows the same ladder jack only with the scaffold removed to illustrate features present atop horizontal member 31. A right angle bracket 43 has its horizontal flange fixedly attached to the distal end 49 of horizontal member 31 and also has a vertically extending portion 44 that extends upwardly from member 31. Member 31 includes a horizontally extending slot 45 with a conventional fastener 47 extending through the slot. A downwardly opening C-shaped clamp 48 is mounted to member 31 by fastener 47 and provides a stop surface for any movement of the scaffold toward the distal end 49 of member 31. A second downwardly opening C-shaped clamp 50 is mounted to the proximal end 51 of member 31 by means of a conventional fastening device that extends through member 31. The mutually facing surfaces of clamps 50 and 48 provide limits for horizontal movement of the platform positioned between clamps 50 and 48. Alternatively, clamps 48 and 50 may be slipped over the edges of scaffold 41 to limit movement of the scaffold. The top end of upright member 33 is pivotally mounted to member 31 with the bottom end of member 33 pivotally mounted to the bottom end of angular member 32.
Slot 53 (figref[FIG. 1] ) extends along the length of vertical wall portion 54 of member 31 with the top end of angle member 32 having a fastening device 55 that extends through slot 53 allowing the top end 36 of member 32 to be adjusted along the length of the horizontal member 31 thereby adjusting positioning of member 33 enabling walls 34 and 35 to be slipped over the ladder rungs while maintaining the horizontal position of member 31 and the scaffold placed there atop. The fastening device 55 is then tightened to maintain the positions of angle member 32, upright member 33 and horizontal member 31.
figref[FIG. 1] is a fragmentary perspective view of a prior art ladder jack mounted to an extension ladder and supporting a scaffold.
figref[FIG. 2] is a perspective view of the prior art ladder jack shown in figref[FIG. 1] only with the scaffold and ladder removed.
figref[FIG. 3] is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of a standoff support positioned atop a roof and attached to the ladder jack of figref[FIG. 2] .
figref[FIG. 4] is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of eye bolt 60 taken along line 4- 4 of figref[FIG. 3] .
figref[FIG. 5] is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of a standoff support positioned atop a roof and attached to the ladder jack of figref[FIG. 2] .
figref[FIG. 6] is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of eye bolt 140 taken along line 6- 6 of figref[FIG. 5] .
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
When utilizing an extension ladder to provide access for a worker to the top portion of a building and even the roof itself, the ladder may be rested against the building. Pressure from the ladder as the worker stands on the ladder may result in damage to the building including gutters and shingles. I have therefore combined a standoff device with the previously described ladder jack. In most cases the roof will slant thereby decreasing the stability of the ladder as it rests against the building.
Referring to figref[FIG. 3] , an alternate embodiment of the standoff device 20 includes a pair of upright right angle posts 21 and 22 connected together by horizontally extending member 23. The opposite ends of member 23 are secured to posts 21 and 22 by conventional bolt/nut combinations. Each post 21 and 22 includes a series of holes extending there through along the length of each post enabling member 23 to be connected to the post at various locations along the length of the posts.
Roof 24 has a downward slant as viewed from the left to the right in figref[FIG. 3] . End 25 of member 23 is mounted toward the top end of post 21 while end 26 of member 23 is mounted toward the bottom end of post 22 to position member 23 horizontally thereby maintaining member 23 in a horizontal position.
An eye bolt 60 is fixedly attached to the center of member 23. Stabilizing rods 61 and 62 (figref[FIG. 3] ) have top ends pivotally connected to the ring shaped outer end 63 (figref[FIG. 4] ) of eye bolt 60. The bottom ends 64 and 65 respectively of stabilizing rods 61 and 62 are bent at an angle with respect to the main body of each rod so the top end of each rod may be moved and pivoted in the ring shaped end 63 to allow ends 64 and 65 to seat in a parallel relationship to the roof. The rods extend outwardly of posts 21 and 22. That is, the distance between post 21 and 22 is less than the distance between outer ends 64 and 65. Rods 61 and 62 can be positioned at various angles thereby increasing the stability of standoff 20.
The distal end 49 of member 31 is connected to the horizontal wall of the L-shaped member 23. A conventional bolt/nut combination 71 connects member 23 of support 20 to the horizontal member 31 of the ladder jack. The shank of the bolt extends through slot 45 while wall 44 (figref[FIG. 2] ) is positioned outward of member 23.
In order to utilize our new standoff, posts 21 and 22 are adjusted with respect to member 23 taking into account the slanted roof with the bottom end of each post resting atop the roof while member 23 is horizontal. Supporting rods 61 and 62 are then adjusted to contact the roof outwardly of posts 21 and 22. Further, the rods may be extended away from member 23 thereby further increasing the stability of the support. The ladder jack prior to positioning rods 61 and 62 has been assembled with respect to member 23 with fastener 71 being in a loosened state to allow fastener 71 to be adjusted along the length of slot 45 taking into account the positioning of the ladder having its rungs mounted to the downwardly opening C-shaped walls 34 and 35. Once the ladder extends upwardly at an appropriate angle to allow the worker to climb the ladder, fastener 71 is tightened enabling the worker to climb the ladder in a stable condition. Rods 61 and 62 support the standoff on one side of the standoff whereas ladder 40 being attached to the opposite end of the ladder jack supports the opposite side of the support. Further, supporting rods 61 and 62 increase the stability of the combination. Rods 61 and 62 as well as ladder 40, all being attached to the ladder jack, provide stability along the lengthwise extending axis 70 (figref[FIG. 1] ) of member 31. Likewise, supporting rods 61 and 62 provide horizontal stability in a direction perpendicular to axis 70.
The preferred embodiment of the Ladder Standoff Support is shown in figref[FIGS. 5 and 6] . The preferred embodiment is identical to the alternative embodiment except that the two posts 21 and 22 (figref[FIG. 3] ) and stabilizing rods 61 and 62 have been deleted and replaced by a first pair of stabilizing rods 121 and 122 (figref[FIG. 5] ) and a second pair of stabilizing rods 123 and 124 which are mounted to the opposite ends of member 23 instead of the center of member 23. The same ladder jack 30 is utilized with both embodiments.
Member 23 (figref[FIG. 5] ) of ladder jack 30 is has a right angle configuration and is fixedly mounted to member 31 by fastener 71 extending through the horizontal leg of member 23. The vertically extending wall 150 of member 23 has a pair of eye bolts 130 and 140 (figref[FIG. 5] ) which are fixedly mounted thereto instead of the single eye bolt 63 (figref[FIG. 4] ) of the alternative embodiment. Eye bolt 130 is mounted to the end portion 131 of member 23 whereas eye bolt 140 is mounted to the opposite end portion 141 of member 23. Fastener 71 extends through slot 45 (figref[FIG. 6] ) The first pair of stabilizing rods 121 and 122 have proximal ends movably and pivotably mounted to the ring shaped end of eye bolt 130 in a manner identical to the mounting arrangement for the mounting of stabilizing rods 61 and 62 to eye bolt 60. Likewise, rods 123 and 124 are movably and pivotably mounted to the ring shaped end of eye bolt 140 in the identical manner. Eye bolts 130 and 140 are identical to eye bolt 60.
Supporting rods 121 and 122 have respectively bent distal ends 125 and 126 (figref[FIG. 5] ) whereas supporting rods 123 and 124 have respectively bent distal ends 127 and 128. The distal ends 125 through 128 are arranged to be parallel to the slanted roof thereby providing stabilization of the ladder support 120. Typically, rods 121 and 124 will extend further out than the horizontal width of member 23 whereas rods 122 and 123 will extend generally within the horizontal width of member 23. Each distal end 125- 128 have holes 160 extending therethrough in order to receive nails or screws to extend through the distal ends and into the roof thereby providing further support.
The ladder standoff support allows the ladder, ladder jack and platform atop the ladder jack to be spaced apart from the roof by positioning the stabilizing rods atop the roof in a position so that the mounting member 23 is located adjacent the edge of the roof thereby positioning the ladder, ladder jack and platform to the side of the roof. The invention disclosed herein is particularly useful in spacing a platform upon which the work stands apart from the roof. In such a case, two ladders each with a separate ladder jack mounted thereto are position to the side of the roof with the opposite ends of the platform resting atop and being supported by the two ladder jacks. Each ladder jack is provided with a ladder standoff support thereby maintaining the two ladders with ladder jacks and platform apart from and to the side of the roof.
Many variations in the present invention are contemplated and included. For example, the distal ends of the stabilizing rods are arranged at an obtuse angle with respect to the straight main bodies of the rods although angles other than obtuse are included. Typically the outer rods 121 and 124 (figref[FIG. 5] ) are extended to a position outwardly of the opposite end portions 131 and 141 limiting movement of the ladder and ladder jack along an axis extending between the opposite end portions 131 and 141 of the mounting member 23 while the inner rods 122 and 123 are extended to a position between the end portions 131 and 141 in order to increase the stability of the combination. Rods 122 and 123 extend in a direction different from said rods 121 and 124 further increasing the stability.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

import {CarouselModule} from 'primeng/primeng';
Carousel requires a collection of items as its value and a ng-template content to display where each item can be accessed using the implicit variable.

<ng-template let-item pTemplate="item">
Content to display

DataTable uses setter based checking to realize if the underlying data has changed to update the UI so your data changes such as adding or removing a record should always create a new array reference instead of manipulating an existing array. For example, use slice instead of splice when removing an item or use spread operator instead of push method when adding an item.
Default number of visible items is 3, use numVisible option to customize this.

The easing function to use is "ease-out" by default and this can be customized using easing property. See here for possible alternative values.

Carousel can display the contents in a slideshow, for this purpose autoPlayInterval and circular attributes are used.

Responsive mode is enabled by default causing carousel to switch between small and large viewport depending on the breakpoint value which is 560 initially.

The Coastal air zone is one of the seven air zones in British Columbia. It covers the coastal areas of B.C. outside of the Georgia Basin, including Haida Gwaii, the north and central coasts, and northern Vancouver Island. Air quality monitoring in the Coastal air zone includes a station operated by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy in Terrace, a station operated by the Prince Rupert Port Authority in Prince Rupert, and several monitoring stations operated by the Kitimat Airshed Group and industry in Kitimat.
The top five most populous cities/towns in the Coastal Air Zone are:

Description
This command declares a type. It must be followed with a @x:self command.
Command Syntax
'@x:type' <id> {'[' <type formals> ']'}?
<type formals> ::=
<type formals> ::=
'%' <id>
<type formals> ::=
{<type formal> ','}* <type formal>
<type formal> ::=
<id> {'~' <exp>}?
The following options are permitted.
| visible | The type name is declared as visible in the enclosing scope. If visible is specified, then local can not be specified. |
| local | The type name is declared as local in the enclosing scope. If local is specified, then visible can not be specified. |
Name Semantics
The type name is declared in the scope that surrounds the @x:type command. If the type name has a name extension, then that name without an extension is declared in the scope that surrounds the @x:type command as a view that matches any instance of the type. The type formal <id>s are declared within the @x:type command scope.
Execution Semantics
Execution of the @x:type command associates the type value with the instance of the type name. The result of execution of the @x:type command is null.
Instances of the type declaration are created for each specific type referenced. If the type name has no extension there will be only one instance. If the type name has an extension, then there will be a different instance for each different name extension value list. Instances are created on demand as needed and exist until the scope containing the type command exits. The body of the type command is executed for each type instance when it is created. The result of that execution is discarded.
Examples
See stack example and unit example.

The instability of a string is the number of pairs of consecutive characters that are distinct. For example, the instability of "aafcccca" is 3 and the instability of "aaaaaaaaa" is 0.
The total instability of a sequence of strings is the sum of instabilities of the individual strings.
The similarity between two strings s1 and s2 is the number of pairs of equal characters. In other words, it is the number of pairs of indices (i,j) such that s1[i] = s2[j]. For example, the similarity between "aaaabc" and "xba" is 5 and the similarity between "xxx" and "xxxx" is 12.
The total similarity of a sequence of M strings is computed as follows: For each of the M*(M-1)/2 possible pairs of strings you compute the similarity between them, and then you sum those M*(M-1)/2 numbers.
Limak needs some balance in his life. He asked you to find a sequence of exactly N strings satisfying the following conditions:
For the given constraints a solution always exists. If there are many solutions, you may return any one of them.
- instability("eertree") = 4
- instability("topcoder") = 7
- instability("arena") = 4
Thus, the total instability is 4 + 7 + 4 = 15.We also have:
- similarity("eertree","topcoder") = 7
- similarity("eertree","arena") = 6
- similarity("topcoder","arena") = 2
Thus, the total similarity is 7 + 6 + 2 = 15, which is the same as the total instability.


Beer Refrigerator
问题描述 :
Beer Lovers Club makes regular parties. They hate warm beer, but club’s refrigerator is too small to store enough beer for the whole company. So they decided to order a special super-big beer refrigerator. The new refrigerator should be a parallelepiped a × b × c and store exactly n cubical 1 × 1 × 1 beer boxes (the club has n members). To decrease losses of cold, the total area of the surface of the refrigerator must be as small as possible.
For example, if the capacity of the refrigerator must be 12, the possible variants are:
| Dimensions | Surface Area | |
| 3 × 2 × 2 | 32 | |
| 4 × 3 × 1 | 38 | |
| 6 × 2 × 1 | 40 | |
| 12 × 1 × 1 | 50 |
The best variant in this case is 3 × 2 × 2.
Help the beer lovers to find the optimal dimensions of their new refrigerator.
输入:
The input file contains single integer number n (1 ≤ n ≤ 106) — the capacity of the refrigerator. Help the beer lovers to find the optimal dimensions of their new refrigerator.
输出:
Output three integer numbers: a, b and c — the optimal dimensions of the refrigerator. If there are several solutions, output any of them.

Distributional methods for capturing meaning, such as word embeddings, often require observing many examples of words in context. But most humans can infer a reasonable meaning from very few or even a single occurrence. For instance, if we read “Porgies live in shallow temperate marine waters,” we have a good idea that a porgy is a fish. Since language corpora often have a long tail of “rare words,” it is an interesting problem to imbue NLP algorithms with this capability. This is especially important for n-grams (i.e., ordered n-tuples of words, like “ice cream”), many of which occur rarely in the corpus.
Here we describe a simple but principled approach called à la carte embeddings, described in our ACL’18 paper with Yingyu Liang, Tengyu Ma, and Brandon Stewart. It also easily extends to learning embeddings of arbitrary language features such as word-senses and $n$-grams. The paper also combines these with our recent deep-learning-free text embeddings to get simple deep-learning free text embeddings with even better performance on downstream classification tasks, quite competitive with deep learning approaches.
Inducing word embedding from their contexts: a surprising linear relationship
Suppose a single occurrence of a word $w$ is surrounded by a sequence $c$ of words. What is a reasonable guess for the word embedding $v_w$ of $w$? For convenience, we will let $u_w^c$ denote the average of the word embeddings of words in $c$. Anybody who knows the word2vec method may reasonably guess the following.
Guess 1: Up to scaling, $u_w^c$ is a good estimate for $v_w$.
Unfortunately, this totally fails. Even taking thousands of occurrences of $w$, the average of such estimates stays far from the ground truth embedding $v_w$. The following discovery should therefore be surprising (read below for a theoretical justification):
Theorem 1 (From this TACL’18 paper): There is a single matrix $A$ (depending only upon the text corpus) such that $A u_w^c$ is a good estimate for $v_w$.
Note that the best such $A$ can be found via linear regression by minimizing the average $|Au_w^c -v_w|^2$ over occurrences of frequent words $w$, for which we already have word embeddings.
Once such an $A$ has been learnt from frequent words, the induction of embeddings for new words works very well. As we receive more and more occurrences of $w$ the average of $Au_w^c$ over all sentences containing $w$ has cosine similarity $>0.9$ with the true word embedding $v_w$ (this holds for GloVe as well as word2vec).
Thus the learnt $A$ gives a way to induce embeddings for new words from a few or even a single occurrence. We call this the à la carte embedding of $w$, because we don’t need to pay the prix fixe of re-running GloVe or word2vec on the entire corpus each time a new word is needed.
Testing embeddings for rare words
Using Stanford’s Rare Words dataset we created the Contextual Rare Words dataset where, along with word pairs and human-rated scores, we also provide contexts (i.e., few usages) for the rare words.
We compare the performance of our method with alternatives such as top singular component removal and frequency down-weighting and find that à la carte embedding consistently outperforms other methods and requires far fewer contexts to match their best performance. Below we plot the increase in Spearman correlation with human ratings as the tested algorithms are given more samples of the words in context. We see that given only 8 occurences of the word, the a la carte method outperforms other baselines that’re given 128 occurences.
Now we turn to the task mentioned in the opening para of this post. Herbelot and Baroni constructed a “nonce” dataset consisting of single-word concepts and their Wikipedia definitions, to test algorithms that “simulate the process by which a competent speaker encounters a new word in known contexts.” They tested various methods, including a modified version of word2vec. As we show in the table below, à la carte embedding outperforms all their methods in terms of the average rank of the target vector’s similarity with the constructed vector. The true word embedding is among the closest 165 or so word vectors to our embedding. (Note that the vocabulary size exceeds 200K, so this is considered a strong performance.)
A theory of induced embeddings for general features
Why should the matrix $A$ mentioned above exist in the first place? Sanjeev, Yingyu, and Tengyu’s TACL’18 paper together with Yuanzhi Li and Andrej Risteski gives a justification via a latent-variable model of corpus generation that is a modification of their earlier model described in TACL’16 (see also this blog post) The basic idea is to consider a random walk over an ellipsoid instead of the unit square. Under this modification of the rand-walk model, whose approximate MLE objective is similar to that of GloVe, their first theorem shows the following:
where the expectation is taken over possible contexts $c$.
This result also explains the linear algebraic structure of the embeddings of polysemous words (words having multiple possible meanings, such as tie) discussed in an earlier post. Assuming for simplicity that $tie$ only has two meanings (clothing and game), it is easy to see that its word embedding is a linear transformation of the sum of the average context vectors of its two senses:
The above also shows that we can get a reasonable estimate for the vector of the sense clothing, and, by extension many other features of interest, by setting $v_\textrm{clothing}=A\mathbb{E}v_\textrm{clothing}^\textrm{avg}$. Note that this linear method also subsumes other context representations, such as removing the top singular component or down-weighting frequent directions.
$n$-gram embeddings
While the theory suggests existence of a linear transform between word embeddings and their context embeddings, one could also use this linear transform to induce embeddings for other kinds of linguistic features in context. We test this hypothesis by inducing embeddings for $n$-grams by using contexts from a large text corpus and word embeddings trained on the same corpus. A qualitative evaluation of the $n$-gram embeddings is done by finding the closest words to it in terms of cosine similarity between the embeddings. As evident from the below figure, à la carte bigram embeddings capture the meaning of the phrase better than some other compositional and learned bigram embeddings.
Sentence embeddings
We also use these $n$-gram embeddings to construct sentence embeddings, similarly to DisC embeddings, to evaluate on classification tasks. A sentence is embedded as the concatenation of sums of embeddings for $n$-gram in the sentence for use in downstream classification tasks. Using this simple approach we can match the performance of other linear and LSTM representations, even obtaining state-of-the-art results on some of them. Note that Logeswaran and Lee is a contemporary paper that uses deep nets.
Discussion
Our à la carte method is simple, almost elementary, and yet gives results competitive with many other feature embedding methods and also beats them in many cases. Can one do zero-shot learning of word embeddings, i.e. inducing embeddings for a words/features without any context? Character level methods such as fastText can do this and it is a good problem to incorporate character level information into the à la carte approach (the few things we tried didn’t work so far).
The à la carte code is available here, allowing you to re-create the results described.

RTÉ are looking for Westlife fans for the audience of this week’s Late Late Show
by By Anna O'DonoghueWestlife are set to appear on this week’s Late Late Show and RTÉ are looking for their greatest fans to join the lads LIVE in studio.
The band will be performing on the show, before taking to the couch with host Ryan Tubridy to discuss their musical comeback, over 20 years since their first appearance.
Kian, Mark, Nicky & Shane will be in studio to perform ing songs from their newest album, Spectrum and of course, some fan favourites.
All you need to do to be in with a chance to get your hand on a pair of tickets is tell them why you're Westlife's greatest fan.
You must be over-18 to apply.
After RTÉ tweeted the news, fans have been taking to the comments to express how much the band mean to them.
"I would sell my ma and her washing machine for this," one wrote.
While another added: "I would die!"
Ryan Tubridy announced the lineup before the end of last week's show saying: "We're going to have Westlife here with us.
"And we will also have Christy Moore with us next week.
"In an exclusive interview also next week, we're going to talk to Joe Schmidt as he bids farewell to the Irish rugby team.
"So it's quite the humdinger for you next week, and then the week after that we have a show some people might have heard of called The Toy Show. And, em, God help us all!"
