The pain clinician is confronted with the formidable task of objectifying the subjective phenomenon of pain so as to determine the right treatments for both the pain syndrome and the patient in whom the pathology is expressed. However, the experience of pain - and its expression - remains enigmatic. Can currently available evaluative tools, questionnaires, and scales actually provide adequately...

A single written character shows subtle differences depending on habits accumulated over time or the manner of writing. Based this, it often adopted forensic investigations and as evidence court.

Since art and science went their separate ways in the 18th century, the purpose of science has been to generate true knowledge based on reason and objectivity. However, during the second half of the 20th century, opinions emerged within science that showed the impossibility of eliminating subjectivity in scientific practice. This paper describes the similarity of the subjective judgements that ...

We address the problem of sentiment and objectivity classification of product reviews in Chinese. Our approach is distinctive in that it treats both positive / negative sentiment and subjectivity / objectivity not as distinct classes but rather as a continuum; we argue that this is desirable from the perspective of would-be customers who read the reviews.

This paper presents the results of developing subjectivity classifiers using only unannotated texts for training. The performance rivals that of previous supervised learning approaches. In addition, we advance the state of the art in objective sentence classification by learning extraction patterns associated with objectivity and creating objective classifiers that achieve substantially higher ...

A promising approach to decipher the complexity of biomolecular networks is to predict their behavior from that of the composing modules. Unfortunately, the behavior of a module changes once connected in the network [1] due to retroactivity effects. Retroactivity arises whenever two molecules bind describing the effect that these molecules become unavailable for other reactions. Recent experime...
