Subjectivity analysis has been actively used in various applications such as opinion mining of customer reviews in online review sites, question-answering in CQA sites, multi-document summarization, etc. However, there has been very little focus on subjectivity analysis in the domain of online forums.

Document-level sentiment analysis can benefit from fine-grained subjectivity, so that sentiment polarity judgments are based on the relevant parts of the document. While finegrained subjectivity annotations are rarely available, encouraging results have been obtained by modeling subjectivity as a latent variable. However, latent variable models fail to capitalize on our linguistic knowledge abo...

In this paper we investigate the recently found γ-deformed Maldacena-Nunez background by studying the behavior of different semiclassical string configurations. This background is conjectured to be dual to dipole deformations of N = 1 SYM. We compare our results to those in the pure Maldacena-Nunez background and show that the energies of our string configurations are higher than in the undefor...
