Some of you may of course recognise this hotel as the base for Justin Bieber’s recent visit to London, but sadly (or is that fortunately?) he didn’t join us. Next time, maybe… Still, the […]

Here’s something I’ve been meaning to share for a while. The content was written originally as notes to complement to my tutorial on NLP + IR, but I thought it might be informative to invite a wider audience.
