摘要： 在美国之后写博客可能还能起到保持中文的作用。这点挺好的。实验室老板给我的第一个project竟然是machine translation。这是一个我一直都有兴趣但没接触也据一些同事介绍说没什么意思的领域= =！不过萝卜青菜各有所爱，既然涉及到中英文的翻译，其实我的中文背景还能帮上点忙。前段时间把Dan Jurafsky和Chris Manning的online course videos看完了。没有完全掌握里面的知识点，大概只记住了50%。不过对natural language processing的情况有了些sense。列下来：I made some analogies between sp 阅读全文

摘要： 前言：学习编程刚开始最合适的资料可能是一些现成的 bug-free 代码。由浅入深自己慢慢琢磨，对代码进行编译运行，到修改尝试，到改写添加新功能，到能够独立写出自己的程序。这学期选了门 Java，虽然没上过几节课，不过作业还算是马马虎虎的完成了，贴出来便于今后初学者参考。由于我初学 Java，不能保证代码的编程风格和效率，仅供参考吧。学习 Java 一开始得确保自己的电脑上有 JRE (Java Runtime Environment)，这样才能跑程序。可以去官网下一个，设置好环境变量后通过 command window 进行类 dos 命令的操作：将写好的 Java 程序保存为文本文件 .j 阅读全文
