They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work – two won Pulitzers during the period – but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth. 2 ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Written and directed by Steven Silver, The Bang Bang Club is a Canada/South Africa co-production from producer Daniel Iron of Foundry Films Inc.

  • Modelling Public Sentiment in Twitter: Using Linguistic Patterns to Enhance Supervised Learning
    Modelling Public Sentiment in Twitter: Using Linguistic Patterns to Enhance Supervised Learning Prerna Chikersal1, Soujanya Poria1,ErikCambria1, Alexander Gelbukh2, and Chng Eng Siong1 1 School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2 Centro de Investigación en Computación, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico [email protected], {sporia,cambria,aseschng}@ntu.edu.sg, [email protected] http://sentic.net Abstract. This paper describes a Twitter sentiment analysis system that classi- fies a tweet as positive or negative based on its overall tweet-level polarity. Super- vised learning classifiers often misclassify tweets containing conjunctions such as “but” and conditionals such as “if”, due to their special linguistic characteristics. These classifiers also assign a decision score very close to the decision boundary for a large number tweets, which suggests that they are simply unsure instead of being completely wrong about these tweets. To counter these two challenges, this paper proposes a system that enhances supervised learning for polarity clas- sification by leveraging on linguistic rules and sentic computing resources. The proposed method is evaluated on two publicly available Twitter corpora to illus- trate its effectiveness. Keywords: Opinion Mining, Sentiment Analysis, Sentic Computing. 1 Introduction Nowadays, an increasing number of people are using social media to express their opin- ions on various subjects, as a result of which a vast amount of unstructured opinionated data has become available. By analysing this data for sentiments, we can infer the pub- lic’s opinion on several subjects and use the conclusions derived from this to make informed choices and predictions concerning those subjects [1].
