This paper presents the algorithm Polarity Recognizer in Portuguese (PIRPO) to classify sentiment in online reviews. PIRPO was constructed to identify polarity in Portuguese user generated accommodation reviews. Each review is analysed according to concepts from a domain ontology. We decompose the review in sentences in order to assign a polarity to each concept of the ontology in the sentence....

Polarity is often an intrinsic property of the cell, yet little is known about its origin or its maintenance over generations. Here we identify a landmark protein, TipN, which acts as a spatial and temporal cue for setting up the correct polarity in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. TipN marks the new pole throughout most of the cell cycle, and its relocation to the nascent poles at the end...

Tissues in developing embryos exhibit complex and dynamic rearrangements that shape forming organs, limbs, and body axes. Directed migration, mediolateral intercalation, lumen formation, and other rearrangements influence the topology and topography of developing tissues. These collective cell behaviors are distinct phenomena but all involve the fine-grained control of cell polarity. Here we re...

Sentiment is expressed differently in different domains. For instance, words which are used in both domains can change their polarity. In this article, we present a study on these multi-polarity words. We first show that these multi-polarity words are actually used by automatic opinion classifiers and affect their performances: the classification performance improves if the multi-polarity words...
