You can shuffle the two sets together, or play them separately. Printing I recommend printing the cards that appear after the rules in this PDF on cardstock and then cutting them and putting them into an appropriately sized AMAC box (available from The Container Store or similar). The two types of cards have different labels, but printing on different colors of cardstock can make them a little easier to tell apart. The Cards This game has two kinds of cards: Status Cards and Comment Cards. Status Cards represent what the OP is posting, and Comment Cards represent what other people are posting in response. Each card has two (or sometimes three) parts. Post Text: This is the part you use. Post Text is larger and in bold. Status Cards have questions or fill in the blank statements. Comment Cards have things that can become answers or things that go in those blanks. When the post text has a description of a person in parentheses, such as “(The player to your right),” fill in that person’s name when you read the card.

    Super ACRONYM - Round 3 1. A joke centered around this name is the punchline to a brief scene that begins with a ​ "mop and bucket man" being called to "The Nauseator." A man in a fishing hat with this name asks "are you talking to me?," and another character with this name is told to "come along" in a scene that also introduces the retired characters Disgruntled (*) Goat and Ku ​ Klux Klam. That confusion surrounding two people with this four-letter name follows a child's pleas to buy a souvenir license plate from the gift shop at Itchy & Scratchy Land. For 10 points, give this name that is comically distinct from the name of Marge and Homer Simpson's son. ANSWER: Bort (do not accept or prompt on "Bart") <Nelson> ​ ​ 2. The Chicago American Gears are likely best known for being the first pro basketball ​ team of this man. This man's five NBA championships all occurred alongside coach John Kundla. An iconic multi-colored basketball was the idea of this co-founder of the (*) ABA. ​ A practice drill involving making layups on alternating sides of the basket is named for this player.

First, thank you Horacio! You made all this possible. You helped me when I needed it and let me free to explore different research areas when I felt like, leading me back to the right track when I was going too far. You have been an extraordinary mentor, thanks. An important part of this journey was the visit at the University of Trento. I thank Marco Baroni for hosting me, and all members of the Clic group, especially German, The Nghia, Adam, and Angeliki. A very special thanks goes to Angeliki, you taught me so much: it was really important working with you. I want to thank all the Snap researchers I have worked with in the last four months. Working in such fresh, dynamic and creative environment is incredible. Plus, seeing that a research can actually work on real life applications, is im- mensely rewarding.

By means of analyzing a set of customer reviews, which are considered ironic both in social and mass Keywords: media, we try to find hints about how to deal with this task from a computational point of view. Our objective Irony detection is to gather a set of discriminating elements to represent irony, in particular, the kind of irony expressed in Natural language processing such reviews. To this end, we built a freely available data set with ironic reviews collected from Amazon. Web text analysis Such reviews were posted on the basis of an online viral effect; i.e. contents that trigger a chain reaction in people. The findings were assessed employing three classifiers. Initial results are largely positive, and provide valuable insights into the subjective issues of language facing tasks such as sentiment analysis, opinion min- ing and decision making. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
