However, I must say that many of us in four schools for girls; and women denied access to health, Guelph—Wellington have known for a very long time that our employment and other basic human rights; fourth, the targeting of university is indeed number one. Maclean's states: the Pashtun minority for special abuse; and fifth, a climate of fear What distinguishes Guelph is a strong sense of community... it places a high and insecurity. priority on ensuring students' academic success... and ensures that students have a chance to become involved. The Canadian government should: reaffirm principles of justice and accountability as the basis for human security in Afghanistan; I am pleased that the values of my community are reflected in our ensure no development aid be funnelled through warlords; ensure university.

  • Computational Identification of Ideology In
    Computational Identification of Ideology in Text: A Study of Canadian Parliamentary Debates Yaroslav Riabinin Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada February 23, 2009 In this study, we explore the task of classifying members of the 36th Cana- dian Parliament by ideology, which we approximate using party mem- bership. Earlier work has been done on data from the U.S. Congress by applying a popular supervised learning algorithm (Support Vector Ma- chines) to classify Senatorial speech, but the results were mediocre unless certain limiting assumptions were made. We adopt a similar approach and achieve good accuracy — up to 98% — without making the same as- sumptions. Our findings show that it is possible to use a bag-of-words model to distinguish members of opposing ideological classes based on English transcripts of their debates in the Canadian House of Commons. 1 Introduction Internet technology has empowered users to publish their own material on the web, allowing them to make the transition from readers to authors. For example, people are becoming increasingly accustomed to voicing their opinions regarding various prod- ucts and services on websites like Epinions.com and Amazon.com. Moreover, other users appear to be searching for these reviews and incorporating the information they acquire into their decision-making process during a purchase. This indicates that mod- 1 ern consumers are interested in more than just the facts — they want to know how other customers feel about the product, which is something that companies and manu- facturers cannot, or will not, provide on their own.
