It’s a real privilege and both Glesni and myself are having the year of our lives. I am continually humbled by the trust that The Livery Company has put in me. Effective communication through all the various media has become key to the success of any organisation and I am pleased to say that as Paviors, we have embraced all of them including our excellent website. But this magazine remains a true favourite by us all, so special thanks to David Ing and his team involved in its production. I have endeavoured to continue the success of Past Masters in writing blogs, four so far, and it would appear that they are appreciated, based on the number of people that read them. So more to come! One of my key objectives this year was to continue the success of what in my personal opinion has been one of the best things It’s been a busy time over the early summer and now into autumn, that our Livery has done for over 700 years.

  • Integrating Deep Contextualized Word Embeddings Into Text Summarization Systems
    Alma Mater Studiorum · Universita` di Bologna SCUOLA DI SCIENZE Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Informatica INTEGRATING DEEP CONTEXTUALIZED WORD EMBEDDINGS INTO TEXT SUMMARIZATION SYSTEMS Relatore: Presentata da: Prof. Fabio Tamburini Claudio Mastronardo Sessione I Anno Accademico 2018/2019 "Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" Dante Alighieri, Inferno XXVI, 116-120 Summary In this thesis deep learning tools will be used to tackle one of the most difficult natural language processing (NLP) problems: text summarization. Given a text, the goal is to generate a summary distilling and compressing information from the whole source text. Early approaches tried to capture the meaning of text by using rules written by human. After this symbolic rule-based era, statistical approaches for NLP have taken over rule-based ones. In the last years Deep Learning (DL) has positively impacted ev- ery NLP area, including text summarization. In this work the power of pointer-generator models [See et al., 2017] is leveraged in combination with pre-trained deep contextualized word embeddings [Peters et al., 2018]. We evaluate this approach on the two largest text summarization datasets avail- able right now: the CNN/Daily Mail dataset and the Newsroom dataset. The CNN/Daily Mail has been generated from the Q&A dataset published by DeepMind [Hermann et al., 2015], by concatenating sentences highlights leading to multi-sentence summaries. The Newsroom dataset is the first dataset explicitly built for text summarization [Grusky et al., 2018]. It is comprised of ∼1 million article-summary pairs having more or less degrees of extractiveness/abstractiveness and several compression ratios.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 357 – NOVEMBER 2016
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 357 – NOVEMBER 2016 ODE TO LEO, VIC AND JIMMY The shadows lengthen and the colours fade As our heroes slip away But those of us remaining Will remember yesterday Mike Arnold There can have been few months in Hampshire’s history in which three men who contributed so much to the County’s fortunes have died. Leo Harrison passed away on 12 October, and now Vic Cannings and Jimmy Gray have both died within hours of each other on 31 October. The three men played a total of 1070 first-class matches for Hampshire from 1939 to 1966. A tribute to Leo Harrison appeared in the October Newsletter. The achievements of those two other great servants are recorded below. VIC CANNINGS Vic Cannings died at the age of 97, and was the second oldest surviving Hampshire cricketer. John Manners is still with us aged 102. He will always be remembered as Derek Shackleton’s omnipresent opening partner during the 1950s. For a few years in the early part of that decade they literally were Hampshire’s bowling; in 1952, they bowled unchanged throughout the match against Kent at Southampton. They dismissed their opponents for just 32 and 91. That first innings total would have been fewer had not the Kent number eleven, Jack Martin, slogged Shack for two sixes. Victor Henry Douglas Cannings was born in the village of Bighton, near Alton on 3 April 1919. He served in the Palestine Police Force for seven years from the outbreak of WW2.

Februar 1993 - Autor: Heinz Stalder Cricket on Ice - alles ein bisschen anders Eine urenglische Sommer- und Schoenwettersportart wird in St. Moritz winterfest Waehrend das englische Cricket-Nationalteam auf seiner Indien-Tournee in Vishakhapatnam in einem Dreitagematch gegen den Rest of India spielt und sich die Kommentatoren erinnern, wie im Oktober 1991 in Bombay, kurz vor einem Testmatch zwischen Indien und Pakistan, das sakrosankte innere Spielfeld von blindwuetigen Nationalisten umgegraben, mit Rohoel unbespielbar gemacht und das fai- re Cricket erstmals in die haessliche Politik hineingezogen wurde, wird das englische Rasenspiel auf dem gefrorenen St. Moritzer See zelebriert.

Zwar wird am Lyceum Alpinum in Zuoz schon seit 70 Jahren Cricket gespielt, doch geht es Daniel Haering, dem ersten Klubpraesidenten, darum, Cricket "aus der Schulstube" herauszuholen, das sportliche, gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Leben von St. Moritz durch einen Sport zu bereichern, in dem es, zumindest hierzulande, nicht in erster Linie rein ums Siegen geht. Wie Schach oder einer allein gegen elf Cricket ist ein Lebensgefuehl, ein Spiel, bei dem wie nirgends sonst einer, der Batsman oder Schlae- ger, ganz allein gegen elf Gegner antritt.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 260 - JANUARY 2006
    NEWSLETTER No. 260 - JANUARY 2006 Wednesday 11 January – Meeting The Society is very pleased to welcome Kevan James to this evening’s meeting. Because of his personality and approachability he was undoubtedly one of the most popular men to play for Hampshire in recent years. Since retiring from the game in 1999 he has pursued a successful career as a sports journalist on BBC Radio Solent. Many will have last seen him conducting interviews with Hampshire’s C & G Final winning team on their lap of honour at the end of the match. Our speaker achieved cricketing immortality on two days in June 1996 when in Hampshire’s match against the Indian tourists, he became the first, and so far only, man in cricket history to take four wickets in successive deliveries and then make a century. The start of the tourists’ innings on the first morning gave no indication of the startling events which were to unfold in mid-afternoon. Ajay Jadeja and Vikram Rathore tore into the Hampshire bowlers before lunch. They had put on 192 in three hours before Kevan James induced Jadeja (91) to edge to Matthew Keech at slip. The momentous four wickets in four balls started when Rathore (95) was smartly stumped by Adie Aymes down the legside; Sachin Tendulkar was then caught off bat and pad at short-leg by Jason Laney. The disappointment of the crowd in seeing the young genius’ dismissal was audible. However, a ball later they were cheering as Rahul Dravid shuffled forward to be trapped leg-before. The emotional roller-coastal of an over continued.
