#but it's important to remember that proper representation lies in variety

[privateolives]

When media only represented lgbt people as sassy and promiscuous, everyone cried for more wholesome stories. Now that the norm is wholesome falling in love stories, people are demanding kinks again.

Girl, your enemy isn't one or the other. Your enemy is The Single Narrative and pretending that either representation is Bad is a fool's game.

Just because something is more prevalent at the moment doesn't make it inherently bad. It's perfectly good to represent that parts of the experience. We just need to recognise that we need to start diversifying our stories when one particular narrative starts becoming too prevalent, instead of declaring one thing Bad Representation and going into the exact opposite camp to show how Not That we are. If that's the only attitude we have, then we risk making this new Opposite the only new narrative.

Prevalent depictions tend to come in waves of reactions to things happening in society but also very much in relation to previous depictions. You see this not just inside LGBT narratives but also in media representation of racial stereotypes, focus on masculine and feminen tendencies in fashion history, etc.

Lately though, I've been seeing posts getting more and more hostile towards the Previous Representation as if it's that experience's fault for existing - such as lgbt people who "pass straight" vs "incredibly queercoded", narratives of people who want to heal troubled family relations and a general tendency for creative work (especially in writing prompts) to just take one trope and inverting it, then calling that the peak of creativity, even when there's not necesarrily any bottomline thought to what this new story is trying to say beyond "being the opposite".

That's not to say any one person who wants to try turning tropes on their heads are inherently Problematic or anything of the sort, but it's worth examining if one representation makes that representation inherently problematic, or just in need of more diversity.

More diversity than just pointing at the opposite camp and making that the new norm until we're all sick to death of that one. Lest we just repeat the same cycle without creating actual diverse representation; Or even worse, start creating the idea that the beautiful, multi-faceted experience that is the LGBT community as a whole just falls into new binaries of experiences than just sex and preference.

Text Preprocessing for NLP and Machine Learning Tasks

As soon as you start working on a data science task you realize the dependence of your results on the data quality. The initial step — data preparation — of any data science project sets the basis for effective performance of any sophisticated algorithm.

In textual data science tasks, this means that any raw text needs to be carefully preprocessed before the algorithm can digest it. In the most general terms, we take some predetermined body of text and perform upon it some basic analysis and transformations, in order to be left with artefacts which will be much more useful for a more meaningful analytic task afterward.

The preprocessing usually consists of several steps that depend on a given task and the text, but can be roughly categorized into segmentation, cleaning, normalization, annotation and analysis.

Segmentation, lexical analysis, or tokenization, is the process that splits longer strings of text into smaller pieces, or tokens. Chunks of text can be tokenized into sentences, sentences can be tokenized into words, etc.

Cleaning consists of getting rid of the less useful parts of text through stop-word removal, dealing with capitalization and characters and other details.

Normalization consists of the translation (mapping) of terms in the scheme or linguistic reductions through stemming, lemmatization and other forms of standardization.

Annotation consists of the application of a scheme to texts. Annotations may include labeling, adding markups, or part-of-speech tagging.

Analysis means statistically probing, manipulating and generalizing from the dataset for feature analysis and trying to extract relationships between words.

Segmentation

Sometimes segmentation is used to refer to the breakdown of a text into pieces larger than words, such as paragraphs and sentences, while tokenization is reserved for the breakdown process which results exclusively in words.

This may sound like a straightforward process, but in reality it is anything but. Do you need a sentence or a phrase? And what is a phrase then? How are sentences identified within larger bodies of text? The school grammar suggests that sentences have “sentence-ending punctuation”. But for machines the point is the same be it at the end of an abbreviation or of a sentence.

“Shall we call Mr. Brown?” can easily fall into two sentences if abbreviations are not taken care of.

And then there are words: for different tasks the apostrophe in he’s will make it a single word or two words. Then there are competing strategies such as keeping the punctuation with one part of the word, or discarding it altogether.

Beware that each language has its own tricky moments (good luck with finding words in Japanese!), so in a task that involves several languages you’ll need to find a way to work on all of them.

Cleaning

The process of cleaning helps put all text on equal footing, involving relatively simple ideas of substitution or removal:

setting all characters to lowercase

noise removal, including removing numbers and punctuation (it is a part of tokenization, but still worth keeping in mind at this stage)

stop words removal (language-specific)

Lowercasing

Text often has a variety of capitalization reflecting the beginning of sentences or proper nouns emphasis. The common approach is to reduce everything to lower case for simplicity. Lowercasing is applicable to most text mining and NLP tasks and significantly helps with consistency of the output. However, it is important to remember that some words, like “US” and “us”, can change meanings when reduced to the lower case.

Noise Removal

Noise removal refers to removing characters digits and pieces of text that can interfere with the text analysis. There are various ways to remove noise, including punctuation removal, special character removal, numbers removal, html formatting removal, domain specific keyword removal, source code removal, and more. Noise removal is highly domain dependent. For example, in tweets, noise could be all special characters except hashtags as they signify concepts that can characterize a tweet. We should also remember that strategies may vary depending on the specific task: for example, numbers can be either removed or converted to textual representations.

Stop-word removal

Stop words are a set of commonly used words in a language like “a”, “the”, “is”, “are” and etc in English. These words do not carry important meaning and are removed from texts in many data science tasks. The intuition behind this approach is that, by removing low information words from text, we can focus on the important words instead. Besides, it reduces the number of features in consideration which helps keep your models better sized. Stop word removal is commonly applied in search systems, text classification applications, topic modeling, topic extraction and others. Stop word lists can come from pre-established sets or you can create a custom one for your domain.

Normalization

Normalization puts all words on equal footing, and allows processing to proceed uniformly. It is closely related to cleaning, but brings the process a step forward putting all words on equal footing by stemming and lemmatizing them.

Stemming

Stemming is the process of eliminating affixes (suffixes, prefixes, infixes, circumfixes) from a word in order to obtain a word stem. The results can be used to identify relationships and commonalities across large datasets. There are several stemming models, including Porter and Snowball. The danger here lies in the possibility of overstemming where words like “universe” and “university” are reduced to the same root of “univers”.

Lemmatization

Lemmatization is related to stemming, but it is able to capture canonical forms based on a word’s lemma. By determining the part of speech and utilizing special tools, like WordNet’s lexical database of English, lemmatization can get better results:

The stemmed form of leafs is: leaf

The stemmed form of leaves is: leav

The lemmatized form of leafs is: leaf

The lemmatized form of leaves is: leaf

Stemming may be more useful in queries for databases whereas lemmazation may work much better when trying to determine text sentiment.

Annotation

Text annotation is a sophisticated and task-specific process of providing text with relevant markups. The most common and general practice is to add part-of-speech (POS) tags to the words.

Part-of-speech tagging

Understanding parts of speech can make a difference in determining the meaning of a sentence as it provides more granular information about the words. For example, in a document classification problem, the appearance of the word book as a noun could result in a different classification than book as a verb. Part-of-speech tagging tries to assign a part of speech (such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and others) to each word of a given text based on its definition and the context. It often requires looking at the proceeding and following words and combined with either a rule-based or stochastic method.

Analysis

Finally, before actual model training, we can explore our data for extracting features that might be used in model building.

Count

This is perhaps one of the more basic tools for feature engineering. Adding such statistical information as word count, sentence count, punctuation counts and industry-specific word counts can greatly help in prediction or classification.

Chunking (shallow parsing)

Chunking is a process that identifies constituent parts of sentences, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. and links them to higher order units that have discrete grammatical meanings, for example, noun groups or phrases, verb groups, etc..

Collocation extraction

Collocations are more or less stable word combinations, such as “break the rules,” “free time,” “draw a conclusion,” “keep in mind,” “get ready,” and so on. As they usually convey a specific established meaning it is worthwhile to extract them before the analysis.

Word Embedding/Text Vectors

Word embedding is the modern way of representing words as vectors to redefine the high dimensional word features into low dimensional feature vectors. In other words, it represents words at an X and Y vector coordinate where related words, based on a corpus of relationships, are placed closer together.

Preparing a text for analysis is a complicated art which requires choosing optimal tools depending on the text properties and the task. There are multiple pre-built libraries and services for the most popular languages used in data science that help automate text pre-processing, however, certain steps will still require manually mapping terms, rules and words.

HOW TO FIX YOUR BACK TAX RETURN PROBLEMS 

Per IRS estimates, more than 7.5 million taxpayers do not file a required return each year. This estimate doesn’t include taxpayers who don’t receive information statements, such as small-business owners. Add to that the growing number of taxpayers who still must file returns to continue receiving advance payments of the premium tax credit to pay for their health insurance. In all, there are likely more than 12 million people who must file back tax returns each year.

If you have unfiled returns, what does it take to get back in good standing with the IRS?   There are five actions you should take to get back into the good graces of the IRS and limit the damage due to the unfiled returns:

IRS Enforcement Impact:  determine IRS delinquent return enforcement history and necessary actions (if the IRS has started or completed a delinquent return investigation, you will request time to file or take actions to reverse prior IRS actions)

CALL (713)300-3965

Years to file:  determine which years you are required to file (stay tuned, it may be less than you think)

Back records:  gather the documents needed to file an accurate return (hint:  the IRS can help you here)

Special filing procedures:  follow any special filing procedures to file an accurate return with the IRS and your State Department of Revenue (if applicable) (careful:  you may have to use special filing procedures)

Limit the damages:  seek to lower penalties and get into a collection alternative if you owe can cannot pay (help with penalties are found here and collection alternative here)

The first step:  Contacting the IRS

You’re committed to getting back on track with all your tax filings.  Your scary first step is contacting the IRS to see what the IRS is doing on your account.  Have they begun a delinquent return investigation?  Who is your case assigned to (a Service Center who will send notices or a local Revenue Officer who will visit you and ask why you have not filed)?   Has the IRS already filed a return for you (called a substitute for return or “SFR”).

These questions will need answers.   By the way, when you are in contact with the IRS, order your Wage and Income Transcripts for the years you must file.  The IRS will send your W-2s and 1099s under your SSN for each year (remember to order your spouse’s too if you are filing married filing jointly).

If the IRS has already assessed tax (i.e. filed an SFR or if you had a balance due), ask for more time to file the returns.   The IRS will usually grant you a “stay” up to 21 days to file the returns.

Next: Determine how many years you must file

The most common mistake made by people who have not filed in a very long time is to file too far back.  How many years back are you required to be filed to be good standing?

The answer lies in a little-known IRS rule.

IRS Policy Statement 5-133, Delinquent Returns – Enforcement of Filing Requirements, provides a general rule that taxpayers must file six years of back tax returns to be in good standing with the IRS. The policy also states that IRS management would have to approve any deviation from that rule.

Sometimes, IRS managers will require tax returns from even further back than six years, depending on:

The degree of flagrancy

A history of noncompliance

The impact on future voluntary compliance

The existence of income from illegal sources

Whether there is minimal or no tax due

IRS costs to secure the return, versus anticipated tax revenue

When you contact the IRS, you can ask them how many returns must be filed – if they say more than 6 years, ask them why and remind them of Policy Statement 5-133.

Back to enforcement, the IRS is most likely to divert from the Policy Statement if the IRS has assigned a local Revenue Officer to enforce the filing of the back returns, there is a large potential liability (i.e. asset sales, income without withholding, no estimated tax payments), or if there is a business involved.

Next: File accurate returns to the right place at the IRS

One important note:  the IRS does not pay old refunds.  You can recoup refunds only for returns filed within three years of the due date of the return. Refunds for prior years are lost and can’t offset any balances due.

It’s essential to prepare an accurate return that matches IRS records. With back tax returns, you should trace your income history.   Without this match, the IRS can question the accuracy of your client’s return.   Also, if you made estimated tax payments that can be credited to any balances owed, get your account transcripts to verify the amounts your client paid.

You also must file the return with the proper IRS unit.  Returns without prior enforcement go to the regular filing location.   Returns that have SFR activity must be filed with the IRS SFR Unit who will put the return through special processing before accepting.  Sending to the wrong unit can delay processing for several months.

Last Step:  Address penalties and any balances owed

There can be substantial penalties on balance-due returns:

Failure to file penalty (5 percent per month, max of 25 percent).

Failure to pay penalty (0.5 percent per month, max of 25 percent); combined with failure to file penalty, together they can reach a maximum of 47.5 percent.

Fraudulent failure to file penalties triple the normal failure to file penalty – increasing the maximum penalty from 25 percent to 75 percent.

You should request penalty abatement if you qualify.  With most late filed tax returns, you can request that the IRS not assert applicable failure to file or pay penalties on balance-due returns. There are two reasons primarily used for non-assertion or abatement:  first-time abatement for the first year if you have a clean compliance history in the prior three years or reasonable cause arguments for late filing and payment.

Remember, if you cannot pay, there are several types of agreements, depending on your circumstances.   If you don’t address the outstanding amounts owed and establish some type of payment plan or collection alternative with the IRS, a second wave of IRS enforcement will follow:  the IRS attempting to collect on the debt owed.
