The way we write (my CiteULike link), published back in 2003, reports some odd statistical analyses of the English language in bio-medical publications. The work seems/appears (see the paper for a discussion on the difference between the 2) superficial, and potentially misleading. It’s a lot of (computer) hard work, but I can hardly see any […]

I was trying to draw Bert and Ernie the other day, and it was really difficult. I had pictures of them right next to me, but my drawings were just incredibly crude, more "linguistic" than "visual" in the sense that I was portraying key aspect of Bert and Ernie but in pictures that didn’t look […]

Tags: Andrew Gelman reposted some interesting analogies that Yingnian Wu (UCLA) made between immigration and Monte Carlo methods. Interesting ideas, and I might use something like that next time when I had to explain these concepts.

Tags: As someone who studies the psychological processes of reading and the development of reading-related skills (technical enough?), I have been asked for opinions on educational policies regarding reading and literacy, fortunately only informally.
