For the Chinese opinion analysis pilot task at NTCIR-6, we tested two techniques for each of the four subtasks—identifying opinionated sentences, making polarity decisions, identifying opinion holders, and retrieving topically relevant sentences. Our opinion detection technique is based on sentiment lexicons. We explored three main issues: the effect of the size of sentiment lexicons on the acc...

To investigate the cognitive mechanisms behind these effects, we develop and apply a rank-based social norms approach to judgments of perceived crime seriousness and sentence appropriateness. In Study 1, we find that (a) people believe on average that 84% of people illegally download soft...

No examples like (1) occurred in the corpus that R&C employed, yet the grammatical form was chosen by the bigram model in 92% of the test sentence pairs. R&C conclude that no innate knowledge is necessary to guide child learners in making this discrimination, because the input evidently contains enough indirect statistical information (from other sentence types) to lead learners to the correct ...

This paper reports on the development of a system that automatically constructs representations of the meaning of sentences using rules of grammar and a dictionary of word meanings. The meanings of words and sentences are expressed using an extension of knowledge graphs, a semantic network formalism. Furthermore the system contains an algorithm that calculates an evaluation measure for alternat...

We succeeded in making a program having the following four functions: i. segmenting the Japanese sentence 2. transliterating from Chinese characters (called Kan~i in Japanese) to the Japanese syllabary (kana) or to Roman letters 3. classifying the parts-of-speech in the Japanese vocabulary 4. making a concordance We are using this program for the preediting of surveys of Japanese vocabulary.

The designed based on the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH), which induces need (N), search (S), evaluation (E) components involve...
