Low or No Sex Drive: Disambiguation Guide
There is an almighty confusion regarding people with low or no sex drive. Here is a helpful disambiguation guide.
Asexual: someone who is devoid of an other-directed sex drive. Some asexuals do not crave intimacy, companionship, or romance either.
Hyposexual: a person whose sex drive is either infrequent or intermittent and is distressed by this self-perceived deficiency.
Schizoid personality: he finds sex unappealing, repetitive, and tedious and so avoids seeking it. Most schizoids also abstain from having any relationships.
Schizoid style: unlike the schizoid personality, the style enjoys sex but will not go out of his way to find it. He can go years or decades without sex, but when the opportunity throws herself at his feet, he thoroughly enjoys the proceedings.

From Per Capita To Pro Capita: Launch of the Social Progress Imperative 2013 Skoll World Forum
What is a successful country? The global debate about development has, for decades, been focused on a single, economic measure of success: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Per Capita. But this tells us little about the real wellbeing of a nation or its sustainability. What if a nation's success is also measured against actionable social and environmental factors? How would this change the way that business, government and civil society leaders prioritize and tackle social issues? The Skoll World Forum is host to the launch of a major new initiative, the Social Progress Imperative. Watch this session to understand implications and opportunities for your own work.

Dealing with Quantifier Scope Ambiguity in Computational Linguistics
Quantifier scope ambiguity is one of the most challenging problems in deep language understanding systems. As a result, most deep understanding systems use a constraint-based scope-underspecified model to represent the output of the syntax/semantics interface, where constraints on the relative order of quantifiers can be further added to the representation at the deeper processing levels (e.g. discourse or pragmatics) in order to rule out unwanted readings. A major algorithmic problem to be solved for such a representation is the satisfiability problem, that is whether there exists any solution satisfying all the constraints. We present the first tractable underspecification framework, broad enough to provably cover all coherent natural language sentences under a linguistically justified n...

ISWI 2019 | Keynote | Prof. Gáspár Miklós Tamás (Thu.)
With several years of experience with political engagement and academic research, Prof. Tamás has time and again challenged the status quo to highlight critical issues affecting society.
Over the last few decades, there has been a noticeable rise in populistic tendencies of authoritarian nature. Beginning with the
disambiguation of the term populism, exploration of the probable causes of toxic populism shall be discussed. Considering the global economic and political status quo, outlook towards social change and enhancement of social capital will be evaluated.

2) Rock PATH angle of 20 degrees
3) Spin the rock as much as possible
4) Choose a rock that is flat on the bottom and as heavy as possible for you to still get to your max arm speed.

There is an almighty confusion regarding people with low or no sex drive. Here is a helpful disambiguation guide.
Asexual: someone who is devoid of an other-directed sex drive. Some asexuals do not crave intimacy, companionship, or romance either.
Hyposexual: a person whose sex drive is either infrequent or intermittent and is distressed by this self-perceived deficiency.
Schizoid personality: he finds sex unappealing, repetitive, and tedious and so avoids seeking it. Most schizoids also abstain from having any relationships.
Schizoid style: unlike the schizoid personality, the style enjoys sex but will not go out of his way to find it. He can go years or decades without sex, but when the opportunity throws herself at his feet, he thoroughly enjoys the proceedings.
Cerebral narcissist: he derives narcissistic supply from his intellectual pyrotechnics and converts his celibacy into a proud ideology, feeling superior to common folks who lust and bang bestially.
Histrionic: oddly, flirtatious and seductive as they are, most histrionics are sex-averse (“frigid”). They regulate their moods and self-esteem via the chase and the conquest, not the act itself.
In the DSM-5, male hypoactive sexual desire disorder is characterized by "persistently or recurrently deficient (or absent) sexual/erotic thoughts or fantasies and desire for sexual activity", as judged by a clinician with consideration for the patient's age and cultural context.
Female sexual interest/arousal disorder is defined as a "lack of, or significantly reduced, sexual interest/arousal", manifesting as at least three of the following symptoms: no or little interest in sexual activity, no or few sexual thoughts, no or few attempts to initiate sexual activity or respond to partner's initiation, no or little sexual pleasure/excitement in 75–100% of sexual experiences, no or little sexual interest in internal or external erotic stimuli, and no or few genital/nongenital sensations in 75–100% of sexual experiences.
For both diagnoses, symptoms must persist for at least six months, cause clinically significant distress, and not be better explained by another condition. Simply having lower desire than one's partner is not sufficient for a diagnosis. Self-identification of a lifelong lack of sexual desire as asexuality precludes diagnosis.

Quantifier scope ambiguity is one of the most challenging problems in deep language understanding systems. As a result, most deep understanding systems use a constraint-based scope-underspecified model to represent the output of the syntax/semantics interface, where constraints on the relative order of quantifiers can be further added to the representation at the deeper processing levels (e.g. discourse or pragmatics) in order to rule out unwanted readings. A major algorithmic problem to be solved for such a representation is the satisfiability problem, that is whether there exists any solution satisfying all the constraints. We present the first tractable underspecification framework, broad enough to provably cover all coherent natural language sentences under a linguistically justified notion of coherence. In the second part of the talk, I discuss automatic scope disambiguation. We have built the first scope-disambiguated corpus of English text, in which every pair of scope-bearing elements in a sentence (including all noun phrases and scopal adverbials) are examined for possible scope interactions. I present the challenges we faced in building this corpus and our solutions to address those. Given the scope-disambiguated corpus, we define learning to disambiguate quantifier scoping, as learning to build partial orders. We achieve a relatively high F-score on retrieving the scope preferences on our corpus using a preliminary supervised model. The early results are promising, encouraging further studies in this area.

With several years of experience with political engagement and academic research, Prof. Tamás has time and again challenged the status quo to highlight critical issues affecting society.
Over the last few decades, there has been a noticeable rise in populistic tendencies of authoritarian nature. Beginning with the
disambiguation of the term populism, exploration of the probable causes of toxic populism shall be discussed. Considering the global economic and political status quo, outlook towards social change and enhancement of social capital will be evaluated.
