“I seem tohave heard some queer stories about him.” • In linguistics, a corpus (plural corpora) or text corpus is a large and structured set of texts (nowadays usually electronically stored and processed). • The texts may be in a single language (monolingual corpus) or in multiple languages (multilingual corpus). If formatted for side-by-side comparison, they are called aligned parallel corpora (translation corpus for translations, else comparable corpus). • They are often subjected to annotation to make them more useful, i.e. POS-tagging: information about words’ part of speech are added as tags. If they contain further structured levels of analysis, they are called Treebanks or Parsed Corpora.

The furniture andpictures were of the most common and vulgar description. • Extremely common words have little or no use when retrieving information from documents. • Such words are called stop-words and are usually excluded completely from the vocabulary. • The general strategy to determine stop words is to sort them by frequency, and pick the first N (often hand-filtered for their semantic content relative to the domain). • It is possible to use other sources, such as: • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_ words_in_English

37.
Now, I amcounting upon joining it here… • Readability is the ease with which a reader can understand a written text. • The readability depends on content (the complexity of its vocabulary and syntax) and presentation (typographic aspects such as font size, line height, and line length). • Researchers have proposed several formulas to determine the readability of a text by means features like average word length in syllables (ASL), average sentence length (ASW), etc. • For instance: FLESCH = 206.835 − (1.015 × ASL) − (84.6 × ASW)

38.
Now, I amcounting upon joining it here… • These stories are still very popular: very popular vocabulary, easy to read with ideas easy to grasp • The series ran for over 40 years (no continuously), still Doyle maintained the same focus on the basic language • The density for new words in this corpus is 8-11% and it is considered ideal for an 8 year old (3rd grade) • Excluding the first 2 (shorter and less prone to repetitions) novellas, the other 7 books perfectly fall in the above interval

He knitted hisbrows as though determined not to omit anything in his narrative. • Automatic Summarisation might either be Extraction-based or Abstraction-based. Best results come when both are applied. • TextRank and LexRank are graph-based algorithms where sentences are vertices and edges model the similarity between them. • While LexRank uses TF-IDF and cosine similarity, TextRank uses PageRank (a word appearing in two sentences is like a link between them) to measure the similarity between sentences. • Roughly speaking, a sentence containing many keywords that also appear in other sentences is a hub and receives a higher score. • The sentences are sorted by this value: since the top N more likely cover all the topics (keywords) in the document, they are considered as the summary.

He knitted hisbrows as though determined not to omit anything in his narrative. THE DYING DETECTIVE His Last Bow Arthur Conan Doyle (1913-11) Not only was her first-floor flat invaded at all hours by throngs of singular and often undesirable characters but her remarkable lodger showed an eccentricity and irregularity in his life which must have sorely tried her patience. His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London. Knowing how genuine was her regard for him, I listened earnestly to her story when she came to my rooms in the second year of my married life and told me of the sad condition to which my poor friend was reduced. In the dim light of a foggy November day the sick room was a gloomy spot, but it was that gaunt, wasted face staring at me from the bed which sent a chill to my heart. His eyes had the brightness of fever, there was a hectic flush upon either cheek, and dark crusts clung to his lips; the thin hands upon the coverlet twitched incessantly, his voice was croaking and spasmodic. Then, unable to settle down to reading, I walked slowly round the room, examining the pictures of celebrated criminals with which every wall was adorned. I saw a great yellow face, coarse-grained and greasy, with heavy, double-chin, and two sullen, menacing gray eyes which glared at me from under tufted and sandy brows. The skull was of enormous capacity, and yet as I looked down I saw to my amazement that the figure of the man was small and frail, twisted in the shoulders and back like one who has suffered from rickets in his childhood. Then in an instant his sudden access of strength departed, and his masterful, purposeful talk droned away into the low, vague murmurings of a semi-delirious man. You will realize that among your many talents dissimulation finds no place, and that if you had shared my secret you would never have been able to impress Smith with the urgent necessity of his presence, which was the vital point of the whole scheme.

For every stepincreased the distance between them… • The term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF–IDF) is as numerical statistics that reflects how important is a word to a document in a corpus. • It is often used as a weighting factor in information retrieval, text mining and user modelling. • It consists of the product of two terms: • the term frequency captures the importance of a term for a document, • the inverse document frequency measures the specificity of a term for a document in a corpus. • There are various ways of computing these values, the simplest one utilises: • the raw frequency ft,d for TF, • the logarithm of the ration between N = |D| and nt = |d∈D: t∈d| of documents containing the term t for IDF. • In combination with cosine similarity, a measure of similarity between two non-zero vectors that measures the cosine of the angle between them, it provides a crude measure of the distance between documents: A · B • similarity = cos(Θ) = –––––––– ||A|| ||B||

SENTIMENT & SUBJECTIVITY I feltof all Holmes's criminals this was the one whom he would find it hardest to face. However, he was immune from sentiment.

When this deductionis confirmed point by point, then the subjective becomes objective. • Sentiment analysis (sometimes known as opinion mining or emotion AI) refers to the use of natural language processing to systematically identify the affective states and subjective information in a text. • Generally speaking, sentiment analysis aims to determine the attitude of a speaker, writer, or other subject with respect to some topic. • Alternatively, sentiment analysis aims at identifying the overall polarity and subjectivity or emotional reaction to a document. • More sophisticated approaches are able to distinguish among a wider selection of emotional states.

I had not seen Holmes for some days and had no idea of the new channel into which his activities had been directed. He was in a chatty mood that morning, however, and had just settled me into the well-worn low armchair on one side of the fire, while he had curled down with his pipe in his mouth upon the opposite chair, when our visitor arrived. If I had said that a mad bull had arrived it would give a clearer impression of what occurred.

LATENT TOPICS “I haveknown him for some time,” said I, “but I never knew him do anything yet without a very good reason,” and with that our conversation drifted off on to other topics.

He was faceto face with an infinite possibility of latent evil… • Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a generative model that automatically discovers the topics that the sentences contain. • It represents documents as mixtures of topics from where words are pulled out with a certain probabilities. • It assumes that each document - has a number N of words (according to a Poisson distribution), - has a topic mixture over a fixed set of K topics (according to a Poisson distribution). • Then, for each word in each document: - a topic is picked randomly (according to the distribution sampled above), - it randomly generates the word itself (according to the other distribution). • Assuming this generative model for a collection of documents, LDA then tries to backtrack from the documents to find a set of topics that have likely generated the collection (Gibbs sampling).
