Most Recommend Blogs (this month)

I hesitate to share private messages, but this is my blog and this blog is about my life. I have edited out the name as best as possible. If the individual finds this post and asks me to take down this post, I will.

Sometimes I receive what I refer to as “unsolicited fanmail” on social media. I am not talking about kind messages or constructive criticism from strangers. Those I welcome, because I think the world is full of kind people I have yet to meet and the internet helps connect me with those wonderful people. When I talk about “unsolicited fanmail,” I mean unwelcome messages from people that use social media to be put me down or be creepy.

This is the first post in the series on automated machine translation. The content is largely taken from class notes from a natural language processing course I took a few years ago. Although it will contain some mathematical equations, it is meant to be understood by a non-technical audience. If there are any errors, please correct me.

Introduction

I have been chatting pretty frequently with a cute Korean girl. It’s not uncommon for Korean women to get very close and want to be best friends quickly. She quickly made it known to me that she was a lesbian and she thought I was very beautiful. I told her she was beautiful as well, but I think we were still on track to be friends, as our relationship didn’t change from friendship. We chat every day.

BUT SHE HAS SUDDENLY BECOME EXTREMELY ANNOYING!

All she does is talk about how terrible school is, how she thinks her parents hate her, and how ugly and fat she feels. When I told her that I thought some boy was cute, she FREAKED OUT ON ME! I don’t know what’s going on!
