Sentiment classification aims at mining reviews of people for a certain event's topic or product by automatic classifying the reviews into positive or negative opinions. With the fast developing of World Wide Web applications, sentiment classification would have huge opportunity to help people automatic analysis of customers' opinions from the web information. Automatic opinion mining will benefit to both decision maker and ordinary people. Up to now, it is still a complicated task with great challenge. There are mainly two types of approaches for sentiment classification, machine learning methods and semantic orientation methods. Though some pioneer researches explored the approaches for English reviews classification, few jobs have been done on sentiment classification for Chinese reviews. The machine learning approach Based on string kernel for sentiment classification on reviews written in Chinese was proposed in this paper. Data experiment shows the capability of this approach.

Abstract In this study, the quantum kernel is utilized as an indicator of the security of encoded information within classical strings. The impact of the Hadamard gate on the behavior of single, control, and all quantum strings is analyzed. To illustrate this concept, two distinct classical strings are examined. Our findings reveal that the position of the string significantly influences the level of security of the encoded information, depending on whether it acts as a control or target string. Furthermore, the quantum string's capacity remains almost stable when it functions as a target string during the entanglement process, whereas an unstable behavior is observed when it serves as the control string.

In this paper, we propose a method to compose a classifier by non-linear discriminant analysis using kernel method combined with kernel feature selection for holistic recognition of historical hand-written string. Through experiments using historical hand-written string database HCD2, we show that our approach can obtain high recognition accuracy comparable to that of individual character recognition.

The Time-Invariant String Kernel (TISK) model of spoken word recognition (Hannagan, Magnuson & Grainger, 2013; You & Magnuson, 2018) is an interactive activation model with many similarities to TRACE (McClelland & Elman, 1986). However, by replacing most time-specific nodes in TRACE with time-invariant open-diphone nodes, TISK uses orders of magnitude fewer nodes and connections than TRACE. Although TISK performed remarkably similarly to TRACE in simulations reported by Hannagan et al., the original TISK implementation did not include lexical feedback, precluding simulation of top-down effects, and leaving open the possibility that adding feedback to TISK might fundamentally alter its performance. Here, we demonstrate that when lexical feedback is added to TISK, it gains the ability to simulate top-down effects without losing the ability to simulate the fundamental phenomena tested by Hannagan et al. Furthermore, with feedback, TISK demonstrates graceful degradation when noise is added to input, although parameters can be found that also promote (less) graceful degradation without feedback. We review arguments for and against feedback in cognitive architectures, and conclude that feedback provides a computationally efficient basis for robust constraint-based processing.

We describe implementation of a classifier for User-Agent strings using Support Vector Machines. The best kernel is found to be the linear kernel, even when more complicated string based kernels, such as the edit distance kernel and the subsequence kernel, are employed. A robust tokenization scheme is employed which dramatically speeds up the calculation for the edit string and subsequence kernels by shortening the effective string length. 1

In most pattern recognition algorithms, amino acids cannot be used directly as inputs since they are nonnumerical variables. They, therefore, need encoding prior to input. In this regard, a novel string kernel is introduced, which maps a nonnumerical sequence space to a numerical feature space.The proposed string kernel is developed based on the conventional bio-basis function and termed as novel bio-basis function. The novel bio-basis function is designed based on the principle of asymmetricity of biological distance, which is calculated using an amino acid mutation matrix. The concept of zone of influence of bio-basis is introduced in the proposed string kernel to normalize the asymmetric distance. An efficient method to select bio-bases for the novel string kernel is described integrating the concepts of the Fisher ratio and degree of resemblance. The effectiveness of the proposed string kernel and bio-bases selection method, along with a comparison with existing kernel and related selection methods, is demonstrated on different protein data sets.

In order to apply the powerful kernel-based pattern recognition algorithms such as support vector machines to predict functional sites in proteins, amino acids need encoding prior to input. In this regard, a new string kernel function, termed as the modified bio-basis function, is proposed that maps a nonnumerical sequence space to a numerical feature space. The proposed string kernel function is developed based on the conventional bio-basis function and needs a bio-basis string as a support like conventional kernel function. The concept of zone of influence of a bio-basis string is introduced in the proposed kernel function to take into account the influence of each bio-basis string in nonnumerical sequence space. An efficient method is described to select a set of bio-basis strings for the proposed kernel function, integrating the Fisher ratio and a novel concept of degree of resemblance. The integration enables the method to select a reduced set of relevant and nonredundant bio-basis strings.

We derive an explicit formula for factorizing an n-point closed string amplitude into open string amplitudes. Our results are phrased in terms of a momentum kernel which in the limit of infinite string tension reduces to the corresponding field theory kernel. The same momentum kernel encodes the monodromy relations which lead to the minimal basis of color-ordered amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory. There are interesting consequences of the momentum kernel pertaining to soft limits of amplitudes. We also comment on surprising links between gravity and certain combinations of kinematic and color factors in gauge theory.

There is a great need to assess the harmful effects or toxicities of chemicals to which man is exposed. In the present paper, the simplified molecular input line entry specification (SMILES) representation-based string kernel, together with the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, were used to classify the toxicity of chemicals from the US Environmental Protection Agency Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) database network. In this method, the molecular structure can be directly encoded by a series of SMILES substrings that represent the presence of some chemical elements and different kinds of chemical bonds (double, triple and stereochemistry) in the molecules. Thus, SMILES string kernel can accurately and directly measure the similarities of molecules by a series of local information hidden in the molecules. Two model validation approaches, five-fold cross-validation and independent validation set, were used for assessing the predictive capability of our developed models. The results obtained indicate that SVM based on the SMILES string kernel can be regarded as a very promising and alternative modelling approach for potential toxicity prediction of chemicals.

The prediction of functional sites in proteins is an important issue in protein function studies and drug design. To apply the kernel based pattern recognition algorithms such as support vector machines for protein functional sites prediction, a new string kernel function, termed as the modified bio-basis function, is proposed recently. The bio-basis strings for the new kernel function are selected by an efficient method that integrates the Fisher ratio and the concept of degree of resemblance. In this regard, this paper introduces some quantitative indices for evaluating the quality of selected bio-basis strings. Moreover, the effectiveness of the new string kernel function and bio-basis string selection method, along with a comparison with existing bio-basis function and related bio-basis string selection methods, is demonstrated on different protein data sets using the proposed quantitative indices and support vector machines.
