Sentiment analysis tends to use automated approaches to mine the sentiment information expressed in text, such as reviews, blogs and forum discussions. As most traditional approaches for sentiment analysis are based on supervised learning models and need many labeled corpora as their training data which are not always easily obtained, various unsupervised models based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) have been proposed for sentiment classification. In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic modeling framework based on LDA, called Dependency-Topic-Affects-Sentiment-LDA (DTAS) model, which drops the ”bag of words” assumption and assumes that the topics of sentences in a document form …

Robots rely on sensors to provide them with information about their surroundings. However, high-quality sensors can be extremely expensive and cost-prohibitive. Thus many robotic systems must make due with lower-quality sensors. Here we demonstrate via a case study how modeling a sensor can improve its efficacy when employed within a Bayesian inferential framework. As a test bed we employ a robotic arm that is designed to autonomously take its own measurements using an inexpensive LEGO light sensor to estimate the position and radius of a white circle on a black field. The light sensor integrates the light arriving from a …
