Book Description
Krishna, an immigrant from India and an engineer by profession, is diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his late twenties after a failed relationship with Courtney, an American woman who has beautiful blue eyes. Twenty years later, when Krishna is in his forties and the father of two children, strange gunmen begin following him in fast-moving cars, with the intent to kill. In trying to investigate his stalkers and why they want to kill him, Krishna realizes that his preference for women with blue eyes has made him a target of a white supremacist group. He also finds out that Neelloc, a waitress and engineering student he had a relationship with, one that ended disastrously, also seems to be associated with the supremacist group. Will Krishna’s bipolar disorder make his situation worse, or will it help him this time? Will it just save his life so that he can be there for his children, or will it do more by helping him reunite with Neelloc, the woman he still cares about?

Methods for Mining and Summarizing Text Conversations
Author: Giuseppe Carenini
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303101880X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Due to the Internet Revolution, human conversational data -- in written forms -- are accumulating at a phenomenal rate. At the same time, improvements in speech technology enable many spoken conversations to be transcribed. Individuals and organizations engage in email exchanges, face-to-face meetings, blogging, texting and other social media activities. The advances in natural language processing provide ample opportunities for these "informal documents" to be analyzed and mined, thus creating numerous new and valuable applications. This book presents a set of computational methods to extract information from conversational data, and to provide natural language summaries of the data. The book begins with an overview of basic concepts, such as the differences between extractive and abstractive summaries, and metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of summarization and various extraction tasks. It also describes some of the benchmark corpora used in the literature. The book introduces extraction and mining methods for performing subjectivity and sentiment detection, topic segmentation and modeling, and the extraction of conversational structure. It also describes frameworks for conducting dialogue act recognition, decision and action item detection, and extraction of thread structure. There is a specific focus on performing all these tasks on conversational data, such as meeting transcripts (which exemplify synchronous conversations) and emails (which exemplify asynchronous conversations). Very recent approaches to deal with blogs, discussion forums and microblogs (e.g., Twitter) are also discussed. The second half of this book focuses on natural language summarization of conversational data. It gives an overview of several extractive and abstractive summarizers developed for emails, meetings, blogs and forums. It also describes attempts for building multi-modal summarizers. Last but not least, the book concludes with thoughts on topics for further development.

New Media in Public Relations
Author: Tomojit Bhattacharjee
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1649195540
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Communications professionals are never really given the due they deserve. While they are generally supposed to convey what is happening in their respective organizations, on most occasions, organizations actually end up doing what the communications people would want to convey to the external audience. Many recent phenomenon of global importance show that, the messaging, the narrative building around an event becomes more important than the event itself. The advent of new media has tremendously enhanced the importance of the role of communications or public relations professionals. Gone are the days, when an organization would gain popularity or traction among its target audience on its own, or a lazy press release at the end of an event would be sufficient to convey the desired message. This book tries to explore how new media tools are changing the profession of public relations in the Indian context. With separate chapters on how the government run PR is responding to this change and how the corporate world is reacting, the book tries to analyse all possible facets of this change. This effort would certainly be of great value to young PR professionals as well as students who wish to pursue public relations as a profession.

Life happens at the intersection of faith and culture. Whether we are Christians or not, we all have some narrative about the way the world ought to be that shapes how we view the world and live our lives. In this book, Anthony Bradley explores those intersections in ways that analyze and direct our imaginations toward the best practices that lead to human flourishing.

Something does seem strange about the world, but we are not left without tools and principles that we need to make life work at the intersections of faith and culture. The aim of Something Seems Strange is to provide a model of thinking about life at those intersections, so that people can lively freely according to their God-given design.
