Recursive Deep Models for Semantic Compositionality Over a Sentiment Treebank Deeply Moving: Deep Learning for Sentiment Analysis This website provides a live demo for predicting the sentiment of movie reviews. Most sentiment prediction systems work just by looking at words in isolation, giving positive points for positive words and negative points for negative words and then summing up these points. That way, the order of words is ignored and important information is lost. In constrast, our new deep learning model actually builds up a representation of whole sentences based on the sentence structure. This movie was actually neither that funny, nor super witty. The underlying technology of this demo is based on a new type of Recursive Neural Network that builds on top of grammatical structures. Paper Title and Abstract Recursive Deep Models for Semantic Compositionality Over a Sentiment Treebank Semantic word spaces have been very useful but cannot express the meaning of longer phrases in a principled way.
