Several on-line daily newspapers offer readers the opportunity to directly comment on articles. In the Netherlands this feature is used quite often and the quality (grammatically and content-wise) is surprisingly high. The paper develops techniques to collect, store, enrich and analyze these comments. After giving a high-level overview of the Dutch ‘commentosphere’ we zoom in on extracting the ...

The information structure of English cleft sentences is discussed. A cleft sentence divides a proposition into two parts, which are interpreted as an exhaustive focus and a pragmatic presupposition. These two semantic components can be flexibly mapped onto the information structure categories of topic and comment to arrive at comment-topic (‘stressed focus’) clefts and topic-comment (‘informati...

section 4. Comment 4. ICF is not defined in the abstract. We changed it accordingly (Abstract, page 4). 5. Comment 5. Changes should be done according to the different comments and changes performed throughout the manuscript. Thank you for improving our manuscript. Background section 6. Comment 6. “Lower or higher FC may be related to a range of factors such as gender, muscle strength or person...

The dynamics of online content popularity has attracted more and more researches in recent years. In this paper, we provide a quantitative, temporal analysis about the dynamics of online content popularity in a massive system: Sina Microblog. We use time-stamped data to investigate the impact of bursty human comment patterns on the popularity of online microblog news. Statistical results indica...

Lieberman and Melott built their recent arXiv preprint 0704.2896 on my published paper and (a preprint of) a subsequent comment by Lieberman’s associate Cornette. But had this group waited for the Cornette’s comment to actually appear in print together with the expected Reply, they would have learned that his comment exposes Cornette’s confusion that likely was due to journal misprint of my fig...

RÉSUMÉ. Nous montrons ici comment des méthodes analogues, basées sur des considérations très simples peuvent amener à résoudre des systèmes ou situations considérées comme complexes. Comment on passe d’une part des canards qui s’auto-organisent en vol à l’autostructuration d’un système informatique distribué. Nous rappellerons au passage comment exorciser le démon des processeurs (voir [12]). D...

In this paper, we present a comment labeling system based on a deep learning strategy. We treat the answer selection task as a sequence labeling problem and propose recurrent convolution neural networks to recognize good comments. In the recurrent architecture of our system, our approach uses 2-dimensional convolutional neural networks to learn the distributed representation for question-commen...
