Even today, such methods deliver top performance. This way of representing data for sentiment analysis is known as the clue model. It offers practical advantages over more sophisticated approaches: It is easy to implement and statistical models can be trained efficiently even on large datasets. However, the clue model also has notable shortcomings. First, clues are highly redundant across examples, and thus training based on annotated data is poten- tially inefficient. Second, clues are treated context-insensitively, i.e., the sentiment expressed by a clue is assumed to be the same regardless of context. In this thesis, we address these shortcomings. We propose two approaches to reduce redundancy: First, we use active learning, a method for automatic data selection guided by the statistical model to be trained. We show that active learning can speed up the training process for document classification significantly, reducing clue redundancy. Second, we present a graph- based approach that uses annotated clue types rather than annotated documents which contain clue instances. We show that using a random-walk model, we can train a highly accurate document classifier. We next investigate the context-dependency of clues. We first introduce senti- ment relevance, a novel concept that aims at identifying content that contributes to the overall sentiment of the review. We show that even when we have no an- notated sentiment relevance data available, a high-accuracy sentiment relevance classifier can be trained using transfer learning and distant supervision. Second, we perform linguistically motivated analysis and simplification of a compositional sentiment analysis. We find that the model captures linguistic structures poorly. Further, it can be simplified without any loss of accuracy. 7 Deutsche Zusammenfassung Eine der frühesten Methoden zur automatischen Sentimentanalyse nutzt Merkmal- srepräsentationen, die auf Wortvorkommen beruhen. Dieser Ansatz zur Daten- repräsentation ist der unter dem Namen Clue-Modell bekannt, da die Terme in einer größeren Spracheinheit Schlüsselwörter (Clues) für deren Sentiment sind. Das Clue-Modell ist noch immer einer der beliebtesten und erfolgreichsten Ansätze, da es einige praktische Vorteile gegenüber anderen Verfahren bietet: Es ist einfach zu implementieren und statistische Modelle sind mit einer solchen Repräsentation auch auf großen Datensätzen effizient trainierbar. Allerdings hat das Modell auch Nachteile. Erstens treten Schlüsselwörter redundant auf und kommen in vielen Trainingsbeispielen vor, so dass überwachtes Lernen ineffizient sein kann. Zweit- ens werden Schlüsselwörter kontextunabhängig behandelt, d.h., das durch einen Begriff ausgedrückte Sentiment ist unabhängig vom Kontext immer gleich. In dieser Dissertation stellen wir Lösungsansätze für diese beiden Nachteile vor. Um Redundanz zu vermeiden, verwenden wir zunächst Active Learning, eine Methode des maschinellen Lernens, bei der das statistische Modell die Auswahl der Trainingsbeispiele vornimmt. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass wir durch Ac- tive Learning gleiche Klassifikationsgenauigkeit bei reduzierten Kosten erreichen, indem wir Redundanz zwischen Dokumenten vermeiden. Ein weiterer Ansatz zur Vermeidung von Redundanz beruht darauf, die Schlüsselwörter direkt zu an- notieren. Annotierte Schlüsselwörter werden dann in

  • Visual Media and the Unraveling of Thanksgiving
    TALKING TURKEY: VISUAL MEDIA AND THE UNRAVELING OF THANKSGIVING ********* A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia ********* In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ********** by LUANNE K. ROTH English Department, Dr. Elaine J. Lawless, Dissertation Chair DECEMBER 2010 © Copyright by LuAnne K. Roth 2010 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled: TALKING TURKEY: VISUAL MEDIA AND THE UNRAVELING OF THANKSGIVING presented by LuAnne K. Roth, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Miles Foley Assistant Professor Joanna Hearne Professor Elaine J. Lawless Professor Karen Piper Professor Sandy Rikoon Associate Professor Nancy West ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have heard that, under the best of circumstances, writing a dissertation is a lonely and isolating process. That has not been my experience because so many individuals have shown interest and contributed meaningfully along the way, sending material about turkeys and Thanksgiving to support my research. Certain individuals were crucial at different stages of my journey, and they should be mentioned here. Years before I began this research, Gerry Gerasimo (Augsburg College) inspired me to think critically about culture, and Michael Owen Jones (University of California- Los Angeles) caused me to fall in love with food as a serious topic of study. At the start of my dissertation research, Elisa Glick’s (University of Missouri) graduate seminar on the body led me to consider theories of embodiment in my examination of Thanksgiving’s symbols.

Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Schneider, Matthew, “They Don’t Make’em Like They Used To”: Cultural Hegemony and the Representation of White Masculinity in Recent U.S. Cinema. Master of Science (Radio, Television, and Film) December 2005, 90 pp., references, 35 titles. The purpose of this work is to illuminate how white male hegemony over women and minorities is inscribed through the process of film representation. A critical interrogation of six film texts produced over the last decade yields pertinent examples of how the process of hegemonic negotiation works to maintain power for the ever changing modes of postindustrial masculinity. Through the process of crisis and recuperation the central male characters in these films forge new, more acceptable attributes of masculinity that allow them to retain their centrality in the narrative.
