This paper describes our system for aspectbased sentiment analysis (ABSA). We participate in Subtask 1 (sentence-level ABSA), focusing specifically on aspect category detection. We train a binary classifier for each category. This year’s addition of multiple languages makes language-independent approaches attractive. We propose to utilize neural networks which should be capable of discovering l...

In this paper, we analyzed appropriate category level of Web directory for Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR). Our proposed method for CLIR is based on estimating domains of the query using hierarchic structures of Web directories. Therefore, it is necessary for correct domain estimation to detect appropriate category level of Web directory. We conducted experiments of retrieval using ...

Generic language (e.g., “tigers have stripes,” “girls hate math”) is a powerful vehicle for communicating essentialist beliefs. One way generic language likely communicates these beliefs is by leading children to generate kind-based explanations about particular properties; e.g., if a child hears “girls hate math,” he may infer that there must be an inherent causal basis for the generalization,...

In [6] Higson showed that the formal properties of the Kasparov KK -theory groups are best understood if one regards KK (A, B) for separable C∗-algebras A, B as the morphism set of a category KK . In category language the composition and exterior KK product give KK the structure of a symmetric monoidal category which is enriched over abelian groups. We show that the enrichment of KK can be lift...

in this article, we have shown, for the add-point monad t, thepartial morphism category set*is isomorphic to the kleisli category sett. alsowe have proved that the category, sett, of t-algebras is isomorphic to thecategory set of pointed sets. finally we have established commutative squaresinvolving these categories.

Talmy proposed that languages fall into two types on the basis of where the semantic component of PATH is conflated in a Motion event. In his bifurcation, if the PATH is characteristically represented in the main verb of a sentence, the language is verb-framed, if it is characteristically represented in the satellite of the verb; the language is satellite-framed. In this framework, Chinese fall...

When English speakers successively pile-sort colors, their sorting recapitulates an independently proposed hierarchy of color category evolution during language change (Boster, 1986). Here we extend that finding to the semantic domain of spatial relations. Levinson et al. (2003) have proposed a hierarchy of spatial category evolution, and we show that English speakers successively pile-sort spa...

Category formation of human perception is a vital part of cognitive ability. The disciplines of neuroscience and linguistics, however, seldom mention it in the marrying of the two. The present study reviews the neurological view of language acquisition as normalization of incoming speech signal, and attempts to suggest how speech sound category formation may connect personality with second lang...
