A Fine-grained Multilingual Analysis Based on the Appraisal Theory: Application to Arabic and English Videos

International audienceThe objective of this paper is to compare the opinions of two videos in two different languages. To do so, a fine-grained approach inspired from the appraisal theory is used to analyze the content of the videos that concern the same topic. In general, the methods devoted to sentiment analysis concern the study of the polarity of a text or an utterance. The appraisal approach goes further than the basic polarity sentiments and consider more detailed sentiments by covering additional attributes of opinions such as: Attitude, Graduation and Engagement. In order to achieve such a comparison, in AMIS (Chist-Era project), we collected a corpus of 1503 Arabic and 1874 English videos. These videos need to be aligned in order to compare their contents, that is why we propose several methods to make them comparable. Then the best one is selected to align them and to constitute the data-set necessary for the fine-grained sentiment analysis

Methodology for Fast Pattern Matching by Deterministic Finite Automaton with Perfect Hashing Ondrej Lengal

Abstract-As the speed of current computer networks increases, it is necessary to protect networks by security systems such as firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems operating at multigigabit speeds. Pattern matching is the time-critical operation of current IDS on multigigabit networks. Regular expressions are often used to describe malicious network patterns. This paper deals with fast regular expression matching using the Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) with perfect hash function. We introduce decomposition of the problem on two parts: transformation of the input alphabet and usage of a fast DFA, and usage of perfect hashing to reduce space/speed tradeoff for DFA transition table

Obstrução nasal por granuloma fúngico em eqüino: relato de caso Nasal obstruction caused by fungal granuloma in a horse: case report

Um eqüino de nove anos de idade apresentou ausência de ar expirado e secreção serossanguinolenta na narina direita, associado a ruído respiratório. Os exames endoscópico e radiológico mostraram uma formação de aproximadamente seis centímetros de diâmetro recoberta por mucosa amarelada, que obstruía a cavidade nasal direita e insinuava-se para a cavidade nasal esquerda. Tal massa foi ressecada por meio de sinusotomia frontal direita. O exame histológico e a cultura revelaram lesão granulomatosa causada por fungos. O tratamento pós-operatório compreendeu associação de antibiótico e antiinflamatório, assim como de lavagens com água destilada e chá de camomila.<br>A 9-year-old horse presented serosanguineous nasal discharge, absence of breath out through the right nostril, and respiratory noise. Endoscopic and radiographic exams revealed a six centimeter diameter mass, covered by yellowish mucosa, which was obstructing the entire right nasal cavity and part of the left one. The mass was excised through a right frontal sinusotomy. The microscopic exam and the culture revealed a fungic granulomatous rhinitis. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs were postoperatively administered; moreover, camomile tea and distilled water were flushed in a drain placed above the bone flap
