I have just spent three hours in deepest darkest south London, Tulse Hill no less. The trip there was akin to a trip through the favela&#8217; with a full wallet &#8211; even the taxi driver was nervous. What&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Semantic vectors and bounded subjects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a request!
Does anyone out there know if it&#8217;s possible to capture the bounds of a subject domain, out there on the inter-tubes I mean.
