Via the INDUCTIVE mailing list, I learned of the Journal of Interesting Negative Results in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning
It is becoming more and more obvious that the research community in general, and those who work NLP and ML in particular, are biased towards publishing successful ideas and experiments. Insofar as both our research [...]

Journals of Negative Results
The forgotten poetry of Michel Thomas
(excerpts)
like that, that way
it is like that
it is not like that
it is not possible for me that way
