Hey Absolut, Now You're Just Mocking Me
This is an update to my recent charge for Absolut Vodka to make use of an ideal outdoor space in downtown Dallas.
I roll out of bed this morning, get ready, fend off my dogs at the door, start my walk to work and, right when I exit my building, get slapped in the face by Absolut Vodka.
Being encompassed by outdoor advertising every day, I enjoy it when the large vinyl building ads change. I take note of the message, the brand, the placement, the creativity, and the effectiveness (One such ad [seen below] is promoting that their cell phone has a built-in camera! A CAMERA IN A PHONE?! INSANE! Talk about differentiation!). So this morning I walk outside and see the top of a new bright-pink, very nondescript ad. I think, "Oh that's cute. It must be for some luxury good or a new Brittany Spears perfume."
I walk around the corner to get a better view, only to notice a URL at the top the ad reads "facebook.com/absolut."
Yes they did.
Just ONE BLOCK from the holy grail of Absolut Vodka outdoor advertising, which I wrote about 4 days ago, they decided to put up a new ad. Obviously Absolut understands the market and is willing to pay big bucks for outdoor advertising in downtown Dallas, otherwise they wouldn't have put this new one up. Likewise, they obviously don't read this blog, or else they would have found the ideal building for their campaign just one block east of their current ad.
Absolut, I'm disappointed. How could you guys have missed this?
Disappointed cheers,
Enjoy this post?

Although attributed to the '70s, arena rock began in Roman times when bands fought to the death with power ballads while roadies were fed to lions. Appease your inner emperor with this GrouponLive deal to see The Midwest Rock 'n' Roll Express 2013 featuring REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Ted Nugent at the Ford Center. For $46, you get one G-Pass for floor or lower-level seating on Wednesday, May 15, at 7 p.m. (up to a $69.15 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6 p.m. Because the ticket is a G-Pass, Groupon customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their Groupon at will call.
The Midwest Rock 'n' Roll Express 2013 smuggles arena legends REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Ted Nugent into the Ford Center with an inestimable cargo of sing-along classics. Styx has sparked the third rail since 1972 with prog-rock sensationalism, bolstering lighter-fluid epics such as "Come Sail Away" and "Babe" with complex riffs from crystalline synthesizers intertwined with power-chord crescendos and noodling from guitar giant Tommy Shaw. With founding frontman and falsetto specialist Kevin Cronin at the helm, fellow Prairie State juggernaut REO Speedwagon fills the stage with passionate chartbusters that made waterbed salesmen rich, from romantic ballads such as "Keep on Loving You" to the spurned-lover kiss-off "Take It on the Run." Kicking off the show, "Motor City Madman" and expert game hunter Ted Nugent revs his buzzsaw guitar through classics such as "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold," all while protecting the audience from wild boars.
Due to security restrictions, G-Passes must be printed out and presented in person at the event. They cannot be redeemed through Groupon's mobile app.

The Hoyas and Cavs remain the only nationally ranked programs from the area, with Georgetown at 10th in the AP and 9th in the coaches, and Virginia at 22nd in both. VCU got 2 points in the AP poll and 3 from the coaches.
In RPI matters, Georgetown — at No. 13 — and Virginia — at No. 34 — are the only top 50 programs. After that, we have VCU (83rd), Loyola (88th), Maryland (91st), George Mason (99th) and Virginia Tech (100th).
Local rankings and wry comments below.
1. Georgetown (19-5) 406 (37)
Next: Saturday at Providence.
To spice up an otherwise lackluster season of local hoops, hopefully Georgetown gets assigned to the Chinese regional in March. (Raven McMillian)
The Occupy DC movement made it's way in to the Verizon Center on Sunday when seven different Hoyas scored no more than 12 points, but no less than 7. (John Albers)
Is Hollis Thompson still waiting at the scorers table? (Tennille Campbell)
2. Virginia (19-5) 355 (2)
Next: Tuesday at Clemson, Saturday vs. No. 5 Maryland.
I'm not sure which was worse: Tony Bennett's losing by 18 to North Carolina, or his awful duet with Carrie Underwood at the Oscars. (Gavin Weiss)
I was going to make a comment about how UVA played at UNC earlier this week, but I don't think anyone will be able to hear it over Roy Williams's plaid sportcoat. (Kyle Minor)
Next: Tuesday at No. 4 George Mason, Friday vs. Northern Iowa.
The last time the Rams lost, Jeremy Lin had scored six points for the season. Total. (John Albers)
Next: Tuesday vs. No. 3 VCU, Saturday vs. Lamar.
Paul Hewett says other teams "aren't scared" of the Patriots. Ryan Pearson's beard is now second-guessing whether people actually fear it. (Andy Minor)
All this talk about health care reform has many people wondering whether insurers would have to cover Coach Hewitt's 4 out, 1 in motion offense. (Gavin Weiss)
5. Maryland (14-10) 218
Next: Thursday vs. Boston College, Saturday at No. 2 Virginia.
Is there any chance Stefon Diggs can play point guard? (Zach Varnauskas)
Terrell Stoglin went on a MySpace rant when he was benched in high school. (Peter Keszler)
With fans showing up to Maryland games looking like Mark Turgeon, maybe they should be more worried about the Terrapins showing up looking like the Terrapins. (Gavin Weiss)
Plumlees did everything on the court except "Zaching" after the win over Maryland. (Tennille Campbell)
i am zaching whikle i typre this righjt now, whicvh is morre diffgicult than I anticdipated (Sean McLernon)
Maryland fans working overtime this week to figure out how to blame all 32 rebounds by the Plumlees on the refs. (Ivan Snyder)
6 Loyola (19-6) 157
Next: Wednesday at Marist, Sunday vs. Boston U.
John Feinstein gave the Greyhounds Sunday paper gloss this past weekend, referring to head coach Jimmy Patsos as "Sisyphus." I looked that reference up on Wikipedia. Patsos is apparently a cutting edge transgender rapper from New Orleans. (Raven McMillian)
Followed a big win over the conference leader with a depressing loss to a middling team. I guess we know where Virginia Tech's mojo went this season. (Max Wasserman)
7 Old Dominion (16-11) 151
Next: Tuesday vs. UNC Wilmington, Saturday at Missouri State.
The Monarchs only shot 55% from the free throw line in a narrow loss to VCU, or as some call it, "8% higher than JaVale McGee." (Gavin Weiss)
Al Koken and John Feinstein were making Blaine Taylor mustache jokes on Saturday, meaning that Blaine Taylor mustache jokes are now 100 percent not-cool. (Andy Minor)
Blaine Taylor picked up a technical foul in the game against VCU, and though I'm pretty sure it wasn't because the Monarchs were wearing pink as part of a fundraiser, I'm not positive. (John Albers)
Monarchs complete the season sweep of the Tribe. How very 18th century. (Kyle Minor)
8 Virginia Tech (14-11) 150
Next: Thursday at Florida State, Saturday vs. Georgia Tech
C.J. Barksdale started Sunday for the first time this season. But to a Barksdale, whether it's coming off the bench or getting a spot in the starting lineup, it's all the same. The game is the game. (Sean McLernon)
I've waited years for a post-game Greenberg-Larranaga handshake, and that one wasn't long enough. (Andy Minor)
Hokies on the bubble for the opportunity to wear their home whites on Thursday at the ACC tournament. (Mike Steele)
After getting thrashed by Miami and eking out a victory over Boston College this week, I'm not sure there is any better way to summarize this season than [Seth Greenberg facepalm]. (Kyle Minor)

Next: Wednesday vs. Delaware State.
Disappointed that Adele didn't mention the MEAC leader during any of her Grammy speeches. (Sean's Ramblings)
Spartans' center Kyle O'Quinn looks sort of like Albert Haynesworth, if only Albert were taller, thinner, and good at something. (John Albers)
Hope to get their revenge against Delaware State this week in the Battle for US-13. Winner gets ownership of the toll booths for the next year. (Max Wasserman)
10. American (16-9) 53
Next: Wednesday vs. Navy, Saturday at Army.
Shot 32 percent from two-point and 36-percent from three-point range in loss to Holy Cross. I thought shots got easier the closer you got to the basket. (Tennille Campbell)
If you can't beat a team whose star player is named Dave Dudzinski, maybe you really don't deserve to be in the A-11. Then again, this is the team that features Tony Wroblickly. (Ivan Snyder)
11. Richmond (13-13) 29
Next: Wednesday at Saint Louis, Saturday vs. Charlotte.
The Spiders are ranked in this poll every week and George Washington beat them twice. Rex Grossman thinks that makes GW a "damn good 9-16." (Danny Cole)
Getting itsy-er and bitsy-er with every passing week. (John Albers)
We really should start reducing this poll to ten teams. (Max Wasserman)
Another week where Richmond makes the poll with a .500 record, another week where Steinberg complains about his voters paying attention. I've looked for a 12th school to knock UR out, but she just isn't out there. (Jake Leffler)

1 Что и как спрашивают в социальных вопросно-ответных сервисах по-русски? Мухин М. Уральский федеральный университет, Екатеринбург, Россия Браславский П. Kontur Labs/Уральский федеральный университет, Екатеринбург, Россия Ключевые слова: социальные вопросно-ответные сервисы, вопросительное предложение, классификация вопросов, What do people ask the community question answering services and how do they do it in Russian? Mukhin M. Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia Braslavski P. Kontur Labs/Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia In our study we surveyed different approaches to the study of questions in traditional linguistics, question answering (QA), and, recently, in community question answering (CQA). We adapted a functional-semantic classification scheme for CQA data and manually labeled 2,000 questions in Russian originating from CQA service. About half of them are purely conversational and do not aim at obtaining actual information. In the subset of meaningful questions the major classes are requests for recommendations, or how-questions, and fact-seeking questions. The data demonstrate a variety of interrogative sentences as well as a host of formally non-interrogative expressions with the meaning of questions and requests. The observations can be of interest both for linguistics and for practical applications. Keywords: community question answering, interrogative sentence, question types,
2 What do people ask the community question answering services Introduction Community question answering (CQA) is a popular on-line social activity. CQA sites allow users to pose questions to other community members, to answer questions, rate questions and answers, get scores, etc. Yahoo! Answers 1, Answers.Com 2 and 3 are examples of popular general-purpose CQA services. Stackoverflow 4 is an example of a domain-specific CQA service which specializes in software programming. Quora 5 represents a newer type of such service where questions and answers can be updated, followed, interlinked, etc., thus generating potentially higher-quality content and making it more reusable. CQA became a good complement to Web search engines: they satisfy users' complex information needs, find answers to opinionated questions and questions that imply practical experience and accounting for context. To date CQA services have collected a vast amount of data: for example, Yahoo! Answers claimed reaching one billion questions & answers in October On the one hand, CQA data (not only textual, but also user activity and interaction data) help improve existing services, rethink question answering (QA) and build value-added services on top of the collected data. On the other hand, the data are a valuable linguistic resource where researchers get access to a large amount of living language material from millions of informants that is partially structured (question list of answers) and categorized by topics. Although many CQA services look alike and some services are operated globally, the usage patterns can vary in different countries, influenced by local traditions and culture as [24] showed. Thus, analysis of language- and country-specific data is important. In our study we develop a framework for classification of Russian-language questions originating from a popular CQA service and manually classify 2,000 questions. This task is of interest both for linguistics and for practical applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of language material of the sort. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. The following section surveys the literature on linguistic approaches to questions and the work on classification of questions in context of QA and CQA. Section 3 briefly describes service and the data used in our study. In Section 4 we introduce a framework for classification of CQA questions; Section 5 summarizes the results of manual classification of 2,000 questions. The sixth section contains conclusions and outlines directions for future research
3 Mukhin M., Braslavski P. Related Work In this section we survey the three groups of related work: 1) classification approaches to interrogative sentences and questions in linguistics, 2) question classification approaches in question answering (QA), and 3) question typologies introduced within CQA research. Question as a semantic category and interrogative sentence are asymmetric phenomena; in the semantic description of the two it is crucial to set a clear distinction between interrogative sentence as a syntactic notion and question as a semantic category required by the information structure [17: 233]. Most linguistic studies focus on interrogative sentences rather than questions as such. However, formal and semantic aspects are often inseparable in traditional classifications. Thus, classical studies consider interrogative sentence among the other types of sentences of different purposes of communication (such as declarative, imperative, and, in some classifications, optative sentences), which serves to express the question posed to the other party. With the help of the question the speaker seeks to obtain new information about something... [11: 302]. Similar definitions can be found in [7, 19], and others. Question as a type of statement with a particular communicative task that of inducement to obtain information [5: 707] can be structured both in the form of an interrogative and a non-interrogative sentence. By its nature, it can be a request, a demand, etc. On the other hand, interrogative sentence in its primary function may or may not express the speaker's desire to obtain new information, i. e., to be properly interrogative or improperly interrogative [5: 708], and to have standard or non-standard interrogative semantics [17: ] 7. Based on this, Bulygina and Shmelev proposed the two issues for linguistic consideration: 1) how questions are expressed (besides interrogative sentences), and 2) what function interrogative sentences fulfill (other than their primary function of expressing questions) [5: 111]. The second problem is reflected in a large number of studies. As for the former issue, we think that social services on the web may help to make a decision on it. They are characterized by large amounts of data, different ways of information search, informal register of communication, along with the necessary restrictions on the dialogue, which are missing in regular online forums. Among these relatively new linguistic data we are primarily interested in the functional-semantic question types (not interrogative sentences as such), as well as in characteristics of potential answers embedded in the question. Automatic classification of questions is an important problem in the area of question answering (QA). QA is a subfield of information retrieval (IR), where user information need is formulated as a natural language question (rather than a list of keywords), resulting in an exact answer or a concise document fragment containing the answer in contrast to a ranked list of documents in a classical IR scenario. This direction of research has largely shaped and demonstrated progress thanks to the TREC 7 From this point of view classifications of interrogative sentences (categorized as direct and indirect speech acts) are presented, besides those already mentioned works, in [3, 5, 6, 13, 20, 25], and others.
4 What do people ask the community question answering services QA track (see [22]). The main type of questions used for QA evaluation within TREC was open-domain factual questions, or factoids, e. g. What was the monetary value of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989? (Later, questions seeking for definitions and relational information were added.) The overall performance of a QA system is heavily influenced by the ability of the system to predict the type of the expected answer based on the question. TREC participants used a wide range of question typologies and classification approaches that were tightly connected both with the TREC data and the named entity recognition (NER) output. The collection of about 5,500 labeled questions known as the UIUC dataset became a defacto standard in the field ([12], The proposed hierarchy contains six coarse classes and 50 fine classes, see Fig. 1. Coarse ABBREVIATION ENTITY DESCRIPTION HUMAN LOCATION NUMERIC VALUE Fine abbreviation, expansion definition, description, manner, reason animal, body, color, creation, currency, disease/medical, event, food, instrument, language, letter, other, plant, product, religion, sport, substance, symbol, technique, term, vehicle, word description, group, individual, title city, country, mountain, other, state code, count, date, distance, money, order, other, percent, period, speed, temperature, size, weight Figure 1. UIUC dataset question typology [13] Several attempts have been made to enrich the UIUC typology or to tailor it to a particular task. For example, a recent study [16] analyzes questions in Korean, including those from a search engine query log and proposes a classification scheme based on the three facets: Answer format (AF): single (factoid), multiple (list), descriptive (definition), and yes/no. Answer theme (AT, similar to UIUC types) is the class of the object sought by the question, such as person, location, or date. A total of 147 themes are organized in a hierarchy and are derived from a NER task. Question qualifier (QQ) reflects a question s semantics or pragmatics; the possible values are specification, superlative, ordering, definition, etc. CQA has recently attracted attention of researchers from different fields information retrieval, linguistics, as well as sociology and related disciplines. [1] gives a good insight into the nature of CQA services and analyzes various aspects and characteristics of Yahoo! Answers: the differences and similarities among categories, the activity of users, their interactions, etc. CQA sites contain a vast amount of user generated content (UGC) that significantly varies in quality. [2] addresses the problem
5 Mukhin M., Braslavski P. of automatic identification of high-quality questions and answers in a dataset obtained from Yahoo! Answers. Using a wide range of features content features, usage statistics, and user relationships the authors were able to separate high-quality items from the rest with high accuracy. Several studies have been done on classification of questions asked on CQA services. [8] introduced the question dichotomy conversational vs. informational, where the former questions are asked purely to start discussion and the latter are aimed at satisfying an actual information need. About 500 questions from different CQA services were annotated manually according to the scheme. Then, the authors implemented a classifier based on category, question text and asker s social network characteristics. [14] investigated a similar facet of Q&A threads, namely social vs. non-social intent of the users: all questions intended for purely social engagement are considered social, while those that seek information or advice are considered non-social but instigating a knowledge sharing engagement. 4,000 questions from two different CQA services were labeled. Harper et al. later proposed a rhetorical question typology consisting of the three type pairs [9]: Advice and Identification, (Dis)Approval and Quality, and Prescriptive and Factual. Each pair is considered to be a subspecies of Aristotelian rhetorical genres: deliberative, epideictic, and forensic, respectively. 300 Yahoo! Answers questions were labeled manually according to this typology. [10] adopted a psycholinguistic typology for labeling about 800 questions from Yahoo! Answers focused on the following topics: data mining, natural language processing (NLP), and elearning. The annotation scheme consisted of the nine types: Concept Completion, Definition, Procedural, Comparison, Disjunctive, Verification, Quantification, Causal, and General Information Need. [15] investigated how people ask and answer questions in online social networks (primarily on Facebook and Twitter). The authors classified 249 questions provided by survey participants into the following categories: Recommendation, Opinion, Factual knowledge, Rhetorical, Invitation, Favor, Social connection, and Offer. Data (otvety means answers in Russian) is a service of Mail.Ru, one of the leading Russian web portals. is a Russian counterpart of Yahoo! Answers, with similar rules and incentives (see Fig. 2). It was launched in August 2006, and after five years has reached 50M+ users, 60M+ questions, and 335M+ answers. The service claims to have 58K new users, 52K questions, and 235K answers daily. 8 8
6 What do people ask the community question answering services Figure 2. user interface An question consists of a title (often it is the question itself, up to 120 characters), a detailed question description (optional) that may contain links, images, and video along with the text; tags (optional), category and subcategory (mandatory, are chosen manually by the asker from the drop-down lists). For our initial experiments we downloaded every 1,000 th question and its answers for the period from September 2009 to November It resulted in 31,223 non-empty pages. Fig. 3 shows the distribution of pages across the top-level categories. The average question length (concatenation of question title and optional question body) in our dataset is 22.5 words, while the average answer length is 19.7 words; a question receives 5.3 answers in average.
7 Mukhin M., Braslavski P. Figure 3. Distribution of Q&A pages by category An initial examination of the data allowed us to make some observations that imply a broad understanding of the question category in CQA. 1. A large number of questions with non-standard semantics do not relate to information search per se, but are rather invitations to conversation or an opportunity for the asker to express herself (to make a joke, to shock others, etc.), i. e. they carry only a secondary function. Examples: Подойдет ли монтажная пена для макияжа!? ))) [Is foam sealant suitable for makeup!? )))]; Как вы думаете будет ли такое время что все люди будут жить в единстве в мире и любви? [Do you think there will be a time when all people will live in unity, peace and love?] 2. Many formally non-interrogative structures can be paraphrased and represented as traditional questions, for instance: антивирус не обновляется из-за ошибки компилятора; Выбираю авто [the antivirus does not update due to compiler s error; Choosing auto mode]; Opel Astra, многие её хвалят, но хотелось бы узнать ваше мнение.[opel Astra, many praise it, would like to know your opinion] 3. Several questions that can imply different types of responses are combined together, e. g.: Является ли философия наукой? И если да, то почему в ней так
8 What do people ask the community question answering services слабо развит математический аппарат?[is philosophy a science? If yes, why is its mathematical apparatus so underdeveloped?] 4. Different uses of question title and body fields: Question topic in the title, detailed question in the body (well-formed structure): Проблемы с Windows 7 Как запускаю игру, мой ноут просто выключается. В чем проблема? [Problems with Windows 7 When starting the game my laptop turns off. What is the problem?]; Капитанская дочка Почему Маша, любя Гринёва, отказывается выйти за него замуж?! [The Captain s Daughter 9 Why does Masha, being in love with Grinev, refuse to marry him?]; The title contains the question, while the body is either empty, or contains a clarification or a request for help or answer: Жёсткий диск какой фирмы посоветуете приобрести?

[Dear housewives, tell me, please, how to remove a greasy spot (cream) from a sofa (chenille)?]; The title and the body contain different, even if related questions: Какова вероятность забеременеть сразу, если был незаметный выкидыш? И что назначают врачи после выкидыша? [What are the odds of becoming pregnant shortly after a minor miscarriage? And what do doctors prescribe after a miscarriage?]; The question body merely repeats the title: Что подарить девушке на 17 лет?[what is a good present for a girl's 17 th birthday?]. 5. The wide topical range of questions spans from requests to help in solving a math problem or a crossword puzzle to requests for legal advice or a desired link, etc. Question typology When analyzing data we relied both on traditional approaches to question classification, and on recent work on questions in online social networks and on search queries in the form of questions (see Section 2). The proposed question 9 A novel by Alexander Pushkin, studied in middle school. 10 The question relates to the novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, also studied in the school.
9 Mukhin M., Braslavski P. classification is functional-semantic by its nature, generalizing the substantial characteristics of questions rather than those of interrogative sentences. The nature of the data implies iterative refinement of the classification (union or, in contrast, subdivision of classes, similarly to [14]) and suggests the following types of questions. According to the main function we can distinguish the following classes: 1) Actual questions seeking for information, in broad terms: it can be traditional questions, requests for help or advice, as well as invitations to join a community, to make use of something (in this case we are talking about real, concrete facts, events, or matters); 2) Rhetorical questions and remarks that do not ask for information, chat the same as conversational in [8] and rhetorical in [15]: it can be an invitation to a conversation (even on a serious topic), a joke or an emotional expression: Вы один из тех, каких много или считаете себя особенным?))) [Are you one of those who consider themselves extraordinary?]; Есть ведро солёных огурцов. Сколько надо вёдер водки?[there is a bucket of pickles. How many buckets of vodka are needed?] Explicit questions can be further characterized by their particular functions, defined through the expected answer type or the action of the potential interlocutor. For our study we adopted the classification scheme from [15] as the top-level categories and elaborated a finer-grained layer for the two major classes. 1. Factual knowledge the search for factual information. This category is further divided into the following subclasses: Object (Как называется? 11, Кто/Что это? [What/Who is?]); Object property (Чем отличается?; Как выглядит?[how does X look?]; Как действует?[how does X work?]); Possibility (Можно ли?[is it possible?], Могу ли я? [Can I?], i. e. a question that asks about possibility/impossibility of doing something); Reason (Почему это так? [Why?], О чем говорит?[what does it mean?] about the objective reason of a property or event); Aim (Зачем нужен?, Для чего? [What for?]); Time (Во сколько?, Когда произойдет? [When? At what time will X happen?]). 2. Recommendation a question or request of the type «please tell me, how to». A further specification is the following: Method (literally Как сделать? [How to make?]); Information search (predominantly on-line Где найти?[where can I find?], Как узнать?[how can I know?] etc.); 11 Here we consider both formal interrogative constructions and statements that can be reformulated as a question. For example, a question of type Object can be simply a link to an online image.
10 What do people ask the community question answering services Location, directions (Куда поехать?, Где находится? [Where is X located? How can I get to?] in the geographic sense). 3. Opinion Как вы относитесь к? [What do you think about?], Что вы предпочитаете?[what do you prefer?]. 4. Favor asking for help: Пришлите ссылку [Please send a link ], Решите задачу [Please solve a problem ], etc. 5. Offer (Кому нужен [Who needs?], Отдам/Продам [ to sell/ to give away]). 6. Social connections the search for people, business companions, friendship, love and sexual relations. We also complemented the hierarchy above with the expected answer type following [16] (see Section 2). Results 2,000 randomly sampled questions from the dataset were labeled manually by one of the authors according to the proposed scheme (Section 4). What follows is a summary of the main results. 993 cases (49.7 %) were assigned to the rhetorical class ( chat ); 1007 (50.3 %) were actual questions seeking for meaningful information. A further division of the question class is presented in Table 1. As one can see, the majority of the questions are seeking for procedural knowledge (Recommendation) or facts (Factual Knowledge); are asking for a favor (Favor) or inquire Opinions of others. Many questions of the Favor type are connected with acquisition of procedural knowledge (e. g. asking for help with a math assignment), thus we can conclude that the questions that can be reformulated as How to make something? prevail at Questions that imply social interaction (Offer and Social Connection) are presented marginally. Table 1. Subclasses of actual question class (total 1007) Question type Count % 1. Factual knowledge Recommendation Opinion Favor Offer Social connection
11 Mukhin M., Braslavski P. Table 2. Subdivision of two major question classes Count % 1. Factual knowledge Object Object property Possibility Reason Aim Time Recommendation Method Information search Location, directions The data in Table 2 are fairly predictable, as factual questions deal mostly with objects and their properties. Note the presence of the subgroup Possibility with such questions as whether it is possible to file a court petition or, for example, to buy a new SIM card. Table 3. Breakdown of the sample by expected answer type Answer type Count % Yes/no Single Multiple Descriptive Table 3 shows that the majority of questions imply a detailed answer (description), i. e. a simple statement of a fact would not be sufficient. In contrast, there are very few yes/no questions (Is the temperature of 46 degrees OK for an Intel Core 2 processor? Can I have a badger at home?). As Table 4 reveals, the majority of the Recommendation questions imply a detailed response. A portion of the fact-seeking questions expects yes/no; however, short and descriptive answers prevail. Answer type Table 4. Distribution of questions by expected answer type in two major classes Factual knowledge (total 343) % Recommendation (total 391) % Yes/no Single Multiple Descriptive
12 What do people ask the community question answering services Conclusions In our study we refined and combined the question classification schemes reported in the literature. 2,000 questions in Russian originating from Ru CQA service were tagged manually. The dataset is one of the biggest manually tagged collections of CQA questions reported in the literature (only the dataset reported in [14] excels in size) and the first Russian-language collection of this kind, to the best of our knowledge. About half of the questions is aimed rather at selfexpression, joking and chatting than seeking for information and knowledge sharing. The portion of the entertaining questions seems to be higher in Ru than in other similar CQA services according to [8, 14] (however, all the studies including ours use different classification schemes, so any comparisons should be done carefully). Obviously, this proportion of meaningful and conversational questions is determined by many features and characteristics of a CQA service: the broad audience, its social and demographic characteristics, absence of topical focus, the system of incentives, and the moderation policy. Questions on CQA services demonstrate a different behavior compared to question-like status messages on Facebook and Twitter [15] for instance, there are far fewer rhetorical and fact-seeking questions. The reason could be that in online social networks users can satisfy their needs in socializing and conversations without resorting to question-like messages; users seek chiefly for recommendations and opinions from their immediate social network. It is interesting to note that the prevalence of recommendations, or how questions in our data mirrors the trend in search engine query logs: the how question-like queries surpass other pragmatics [18, 23]. The situation has changed a lot during the last decade: in the late 90s most search engine queries in question form sought for factual information [21]. The processed data demonstrate a variety of interrogative sentences as well as of formally non-interrogative expressions with meaning of questions and requests. The obtained data can be of interest for linguists, sociologists, and communication researchers. The data can also be used for improving existing CQA services and can contribute to question answering research. The manually tagged sub-corpus of questions is available for research purposes at In our future research we are going to address the problem of automatic classification of questions, refine our classification scheme, as well as compare CQA questions with questions in search engine query logs. We would like to thank Mail.Ru for granting us access to the data and Tanya Kondakova for initial data preparation.

Knowing your brand means knowing what your readers want. Can you summarize your entire body of work–both existing and upcoming–using only 3 words?
Pavarti K Tyler
Marketing Director
Share yourself authentically, and readers will respond. For events make sure to stay approachable, stay present, and remember to spoil your fans!
Naomi Leadbeater

I've noticed something funny–authors seem almost afraid of their readers. Did you know hearing from you can make their day? Get out there, and get social!

My husband, my 6 mos old and I are visiting Cincinnati in 2 weeks. We are going to go to a Reds Game on Sunday and I am trying to find some fun activities for Saturday that are baby-friendly.
I was thinking about doing a River Boat trip but don't really know much about them and if they're worth it or just a touristy waste of money.
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!
