#New computerised learning system can spot irony and sarcasm in text messages and emails A new computerised learning system spots emotional sentiments, such as sarcasm and irony,

Recently, pages intended to be humourous on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter were titled uperior and condescending people,
or rdinary and sensible people. uch pages are very popular in Israel, said Saig, and users are invited to submit suggestions for phrases that can be labelled as tereotypical sayings, for that particular page.
The method he developed enables the system to detect future patterns on any social network. Since the content in these sections was colloquial, everyday language,
or slang words and phrases in text. aig applied achine-Learningalgorithms to the content on these pages and used the results to automatically identify stereotypical behaviours found every day in social network communication.
The quantification was carried out by examining 5, 000 posts on social media pages and, through statistical analysis, gearing a learning system to recognise content structure that could be identified as condescending or slang.
The WPT technology developed by researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) works just as Wi-fi works for Internet connections.

#China tightens Web controls requires written pledge to avoid'unhealthy'activity online China announced Wednesday that users of blogs
and promise in writing to avoid challenging the communist political system, further tightening control over Internet use.
what technology companies say are official efforts in recent weeks to block virtual private networks that are used to circumvent China's extensive Internet filters.
China has the world's biggest population of Internet users with 649 million people online but increasing censorship has chilled the popularity of social media.
Beijing has required Internet companies since 2012 to obtain real names of some users. But compliance was uneven
and the rules failed to specify what services were covered. The latest announcement extends that"real name"registration requirement to blogs,
microblog services such as the popular Sina Weibo and website comment sections. Such settings offer many Chinese their only opportunity to express themselves in public in a society in which all media are controlled by the ruling Communist party.
The rules also require Internet services for the first time to have users sign a contract that includes a pledge to refrain from"illegal and unhealthy"activity.
Wednesday's announcement affirmed an earlier prohibition against posting material deemed a threat to state power
The ruling party encourages Internet use for business and education but tries to block material deemed subversive or obscene.
Beijing regularly launches new censorship initiatives to respond to changes such as the growing popularity of social media.
The government of President Xi Jinping has been calling on Internet companies since last year to"spread positive energy"online.
which operates one of China's most popular Internet platforms, said it was penalized for allowing"unhealthy and indecent content"online.
Sina was fined $815, 000 and stripped of two of its licenses for Internet publication and online transmission of audiovisual programs.
China operates the world's most extensive system of Internet monitoring and filters. It blocks access to websites abroad run by human rights and other activists groups,
as well as popular services such as the Google search engine and Facebook. Until recently, users of virtual private network,
or VPN, services were able to skirt those restrictions to reach business tools operated by Google and other blocked sites.
But in recent weeks, some companies that operate VPNS, which encrypt traffic to prevent censors from reading it,

#Google releases work tools designed for Android phones Google is releasing a set of tools designed for businesses
The technology unveiled Wednesday launches Google's attempt to turn Android phones into the digital hub of people's personal and professional lives.
The expansion will pit Google Inc. against Microsoft corp. and Blackberry Inc . which have been focusing on the corporate market for years.
Google will also be dueling its biggest rival in mobile computing Apple which forged a partnership with IBM last year to build more iphone
Google and Apple have become so dominant that 96 percent of the smartphones sold last year run on the companies'software according to the research firm IDC.
But most people use those phones to take pictures message their friends check Facebook and Twitter and engage in other personal endeavors.
In many cases people also may check their work email on their phones. But Google and Apple are trying to make it more enticing and convenient for people to transplant their more of their professional lives on to their phones.
As part of that process the companies are rolling out more business-oriented applications and tougher security to make employers feel more comfortable about their workers using their phones for their jobs."
"Our vision is that every employee out there should have enabled a work device in their hands"said Rajen Sheth director of product management for Android's push into the office.
Far more people already own Android phones than iphones a lead that Google hopes works to its advantage in the corporate mobility market.
The huge disparity has largely been driven by Google's decision to give away its Android phones helping to make the devices running on the software more affordable than iphones.
Google announced its Android for Work program at a conference eight months ago but needed more time to test the technology before its release.
