Wikileaks
News leak publishing organisation WikiLeaks has won a number of awards and has been commended for exposing state and corporate secrets, increasing transparency, assisting freedom of the press, and enhancing democratic discourse while challenging powerful institutions. WikiLeaks and some of its supporters say the organisation's publications have a perfect attribution record. The organisation has been the target of campaigns to discredit it, including aborted ones by Palantir and HBGary. WikiLeaks has also had its donation systems disrupted by problems with its payment processors. The organisation has been criticised for inadequately curating some of its content and violating the personal privacy of individuals. History Founding The inspiration for WikiLeaks was Daniel Ellsberg's release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Advisory board Early years 2010 internal dissent Domscheit-Berg said he took the files from WikiLeaks because he didn't trust its security.

Minoan civilization Map of Minoan Crete The Minoan civilization was an Aegean Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and flourished from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century BC.[1] It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain."[2] The early inhabitants of Crete settled as early as 128,000 BC, during the Middle Paleolithic age.[3][4] It was not until 5000 BC that the first signs of advanced agriculture appeared, marking the beginning of civilization. Overview[edit] The term "Minoan" was coined by Arthur Evans after the mythic "king" Minos.[5] Minos was associated in Greek myth with the labyrinth, which Evans identified with the site at Knossos. Chronology and history[edit] Rather than associate absolute calendar dates for the Minoan period, archaeologists use two systems of relative chronology. History[edit] Geography[edit]

Blog: Natural Language Processing with R Programming Books Natural Language Processing is a key Data Science skill. Learn how to can expand your R programming knowledge with Text Analytics. It is my firm conviction that Natural Language Processing/Text Analytics is a must-have skill for any practicing Data Scientist. Not surprisingly, I am often asked by students of our Bootcamp, folks that I mentor on Data Science and my LinkedIn contacts about the subject of Text Analytics. Text Analytics with R for Students of Literature is quite simply the best, most straightforward introduction to working with text that I have found. Taming Text is the next stop on the Text Analytics journey. The CRAN NLP Task View illustrates the wide-ranging Text Analytics support for the R programmer . Introduction to Information Retrieval for Text Analytics while focused primarily on the problem of search, nevertheless contains a wealth of theory and understanding (e.g., the Vector Space Model) to take the R programmer to the next level.
