Information Extraction
Sentiment Classification using Images and Label Embeddings
Graesser, Laura, Gupta, Abhinav, Sharma, Lakshay, Bakhturina, Evelina
In this project we analysed how much semantic information images carry, and how much value image data can add to sentiment analysis of the text associated with the images. To better understand the contribution from images, we compared models which only made use of image data, models which only made use of text data, and models which combined both data types. We also analysed if this approach could help sentiment classifiers generalize to unknown sentiments.
Handling 'Happy' vs 'Not Happy': Better sentiment analysis with sentimentr in R
Sentiment Analysis is one of the most obvious things Data Analysts with unlabelled Text data (with no score or no rating) end up doing in an attempt to extract some insights out of it and the same Sentiment analysis is also one of the potential research areas for any NLP (Natural Language Processing) enthusiasts. For an analyst, the same sentiment analysis is a pain in the neck because most of the primitive packages/libraries handling sentiment analysis perform a simple dictionary lookup and calculate a final composite score based on the number of occurrences of positive and negative words. But that often ends up in a lot of false positives, with a very obvious case being'happy' vs'not happy' โ Negations, in general Valence Shifters. Consider this sentence: 'I am not very happy'. Any Primitive Sentiment Analysis Algorithm would just flag this sentence positive because of the word'happy' that apparently would appear in the positive dictionary.
Analyze Twitter data with Apache Hive - Azure HDInsight
Learn how to use Apache Hive to process Twitter data. The result is a list of Twitter users who sent the most tweets that contain a certain word. The steps in this document were tested on HDInsight 3.6. Linux is the only operating system used on HDInsight version 3.4 or greater. For more information, see HDInsight retirement on Windows.
Nebraska to Build Wind Farm to Power Facebook Data Center
The Rattlesnake Creek Wind Project will be built between the towns of Allen, Emerson and Wakefield, the Sioux City Journal reported . Demand for power from Facebook helped resurrect the project that had been at a standstill since 2013 after its former owners, Trade Winds, couldn't find buyers for the energy the farm.
Algorithmia now helps businesses manage and deploy their #machinelearning models - ByteFunding
Algorithmia started out as an online marketplace for -- can you guess it? Many of these algorithms that developers offered on the service focused on machine learning (think face detection, sentiment analysis, etc.). Today, with the boom in ML/AI, that's obviously a big draw and Algorithmia is now taking its next step in this direction with the launch of a newโฆ Read More
Machine Learning With Heart: How Sentiment Analysis Can Help Your Customers
When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), the word "emotion" doesn't typically come to mind. But there's an entire field of research using AI to understand emotional responses to news, product experiences, movies, restaurants, and more. It's known as sentiment analysis, or emotion AI, and it involves analyzing views โ positive, negative, or neutral โ from written text to understand and gauge reactions. Sentiment analysis can be used for survey research, social media analyses, and tracking psychological trends. Picture software that scans articles, reviews, ratings, and social media posts to determine sentiment changes for hotel guests.
Google's Sentiment Analyzer Thinks Being Gay Is Bad
Update 10/25/17 3:53 PM: A Google spokesperson responded to Motherboard's request for comment and issued the following statement: "We dedicate a lot of efforts to making sure the NLP API avoids bias, but we don't always get it right. This is an example of one of those times, and we are sorry. We take this seriously and are working on improving our models. We will correct this specific case, and, more broadly, building more inclusive algorithms is crucial to bringing the benefits of machine learning to everyone." John Giannandrea, Google's head of artificial intelligence, told a conference audience earlier this year that his main concern with AI isn't deadly super-intelligent robots, but ones that discriminate.
Google's sentiment analysis API is just as biased as humans
Google developed its Cloud Natural Language API to give customers a language analyzer that could, the internet giant claimed, "reveal the structure and meaning of your text." Part of this gauges sentiment, deeming some words positive and others negative. When Motherboard took a closer look, they found that Google's analyzer interpreted some words like "homosexual" to be negative. Which is evidence enough that the API, which judges based on the information fed to it, now spits out biased analysis. The tool, which you can sample here, is designed to give companies a preview of how their language will be received.
How to Develop a Deep Learning Bag-of-Words Model for Predicting Movie Review Sentiment - Machine Learning Mastery
Movie reviews can be classified as either favorable or not. The evaluation of movie review text is a classification problem often called sentiment analysis. A popular technique for developing sentiment analysis models is to use a bag-of-words model that transforms documents into vectors where each word in the document is assigned a score. In this tutorial, you will discover how you can develop a deep learning predictive model using the bag-of-words representation for movie review sentiment classification.

UK Lawmakers Seek Facebook Data on Russia-Linked Brexit Ads
Facebook disclosed last month it had found ads linked to fake accounts -- likely run from Russia -- that sought to influence the U.S. election. Facebook said the ads focused on divisive political issues such as immigration and gun rights in an apparent attempt to sow discord among the U.S. population.
