Subjective sentences describe people’s opinions, points-of-view, interpretations, comparisons, sentiments, judgments, appraisals or feelings toward entities, events and their properties. Identifying subjective sentences is the basis for opinion mining and sentiment analysis and is important in applications like political analysis, social media analytics and product review analytics. We use stan...

We study techniques for identifying highly boosted top jets, where the subsequent top decay products are not isolated. For hadronic boosted tops, we consider variables which probe the jet substructure in order to reduce the background from QCD jets with large invariant mass. Substructure variables related to two-body kinematics are least sensitive to the modeling of parton shower, while those w...

A neural network method for identifying the ancestor of a hadron jet is presented. The idea is to nd an eecient mapping between certain observed hadronic kinematical variables and the quark/gluon identity. This is done with a neuronic expansion in terms of a network of sigmoidal functions using a gradient descent procedure, where the errors are back-propagated through the network. With this met...

The standard account of word-formation processes in Semitic languages describes words as combinations of two morphemes: a root and a pattern. The root consists of consonants only, by default three (although longer roots are known), called radicals. The pattern is a combination of vowels and, possibly, consonants too, with ‘slots’ into which the root consonants can be inserted. Words are created...
