Identify, with a brief description, each of the four steps in the sentiment analysis process.

1. Sentiment Detection: Here the goal is to differentiate between a fact and an opinion, which may be viewed as classification of text as objective or subjective. 2. N-P Polarity Classification: Given an opinionated piece of text, the goal is to classify the opinion as falling under one of two opposing sentiment polarities, or locate its position on the continuum between these two polarities. 3. Target Identification: The goal of this step is to accurately identify the target of the expressed sentiment. 4. Collection and Aggregation: In this step all text data points in the document are aggregated and converted to a single sentiment measure for the whole document.

What is the difference between white hat and black hat SEO activities?

An SEO technique is considered white hat if it conforms to the search engines' guidelines and involves no deception. Because search engine guidelines are not written as a series of rules or commandments, this is an important distinction to note. White-hat SEO is not just about following guidelines, but about ensuring that the content a search engine indexes and subsequently ranks is the same content a user will see. Black-hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved by the search engines, or involve deception or trying to trick search engine algorithms from their intended purpose.

Why are the users' page views and time spent on your Web site important metrics?

If people come to your Web site and don't view many pages, that is undesirable and your Web site may have issues with its design or structure. Another explanation for low page views is a disconnect in the marketing messages that brought them to the site and the content that is actually available. Generally, the longer a person spends on your Web site, the better it is. That could mean they're carefully reviewing your content, utilizing interactive components you have available, and building toward an informed decision to buy, respond, or take the next step you've provided. On the contrary, the time on site also needs to be examined against the number of pages viewed to make sure the visitor isn't spending his or her time trying to locate content that should be more readily accessible.

How would you describe information extraction in text mining?

Information extraction is the identification of key phrases and relationships within text by looking for predefined objects and sequences in text by way of pattern matching.

________, like data, must be managed to maintain their integrity, and thus their applicability.

Models

Natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, is an important component of text mining. What is the definition of NLP?

________ Web analytics refers to measurement and analysis of data relating to your company that takes place outside your Web site.

Off-site

________, also called homonyms, are syntactically identical words with different meanings.

Polysemes

________ is a connections metric for social networks that measures the ties that actors in a network have with others that are geographically close.

Propinquity

What is search engine optimization (SEO) and why is it important for organizations that own Web sites?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the intentional activity of affecting the visibility of an e-commerce site or a Web site in a search engine's natural (unpaid or organic) search results. In general, the higher ranked on the search results page, and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. Being indexed by search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo! is not good enough for businesses. Getting ranked on the most widely used search engines and getting ranked higher than your competitors are what make the difference.

________ analysis attempts to assess the impact of a change in the input data or parameters on the proposed solution.

________ is a technique used to detect favorable and unfavorable opinions toward specific products and services using large numbers of textual data sources.

Sentiment analysis

Why are spreadsheet applications so commonly used for decision modeling?

Spreadsheets are often used for this purpose because they are very approachable and easy to use for end users. Spreadsheets have a shallow learning curve that allows basic functions to be learned quickly. Additionally, spreadsheets have evolved over time to include a more robust set of features and functions. These functions can also be augmented through the use of add-ins, many of which are designed with decision support systems in mind.

Why is the Monte Carlo simulation popular for solving business problems?

The Monte Carlo simulation is a probabilistic simulation. It is designed around a model of the decision problem, but the problem does not consider the uncertainty of any of the variables. This allows for a huge number of simulations to be run with random changes within each of the variables. In this way, the model may be solved hundreds or thousands of times before it is completed. These results can then be analyzed for either the dependent or performance variables using statistical distributions. This demonstrates a number of possible solutions, as well as providing information about the manner in which variables will respond under different levels of uncertainty.

List and describe the most common approaches for treating uncertainty.

There are two common approaches to dealing with uncertainty. The first is the optimistic approach and the second is the pessimistic approach. The optimistic approach assumes that the outcomes for all alternatives will be the best possible and then the best of each of those may be selected. Under the pessimistic approach the worst possible outcome is assumed for each alternative and then the best of the worst are selected.

List and briefly discuss the major components of a quantitative model.

These components include: 1. Result (outcome) variables reflect the level of effectiveness of a system; that is, they indicate how well the system performs or attains its goal(s). 2. Decision variables describe alternative courses of action. The decision maker controls the decision variables. 3. Uncontrollable Variables - in any decision-making situation, there are factors that affect the result variables but are not under the control of the decision maker 4. Intermediate result variables reflect intermediate outcomes in mathematical models.

How are linear programming models vulnerable when used in complex situation?

These models have the ability to be vulnerable when used in very complex situations for a number of reasons. One reason focuses on the possibility that not all parameters can be known or understood. Another concern is that the standard characteristics of a linear programming calculation may not hold in more dynamic, real-world environments. Additionally, in more complex environments all actors may not be wholly rational and economic issues.

Describe the query-specific clustering method as it relates to clustering.

This method employs a hierarchical clustering approach where the most relevant documents to the posed query appear in small tight clusters that are nested in larger clusters containing less similar documents, creating a spectrum of relevance levels among the documents.

Why do many believe that making decisions under uncertainty is more difficult than making decisions under risk?

This opinion is commonly held because making decisions under uncertainty allows for an unlimited number of possible outcomes, yet no understanding of the likelihood of those outcomes. In contrast, decision-making under risk allows for an unlimited number of outcomes, but a known probability of the likelihood of those outcomes.

Why is there a trend to developing and using cloud-based tools for modeling?

This trend exists because it simplifies the process for users. These systems give them access to powerful tools and pre-existing models that they can use to solve business problems. Because these systems are cloud-based, there are costs associated with operating them and maintaining them.

A decision made under risk is also known as a probabilistic or stochastic decision-making situation.

True

Articles and auxiliary verbs are assigned little value in text mining and are usually filtered out.

True

Categorization and clustering of documents during text mining differ only in the preselection of categories.

True

True

In sentiment analysis, it is hard to classify some subjects such as news as good or bad, but easier to classify others, e.g., movie reviews, in the same way.

True

In text mining, if an association between two concepts has 7% support, it means that 7% of the documents had both concepts represented in the same document.

What are the three categories of social media analytics technologies and what do they do?

•Descriptive analytics: Uses simple statistics to identify activity characteristics and trends, such as how many followers you have, how many reviews were generated on Facebook, and which channels are being used most often. •Social network analysis: Follows the links between friends, fans, and followers to identify connections of influence as well as the biggest sources of influence. •Advanced analytics: Includes predictive analytics and text analytics that examine the content in online conversations to identify themes, sentiments, and connections that would not be revealed by casual surveillance.

In what ways does the Web pose great challenges for effective and efficient knowledge discovery through data mining?

•The Web is too big for effective data mining. The Web is so large and growing so rapidly that it is difficult to even quantify its size. Because of the sheer size of the Web, it is not feasible to set up a data warehouse to replicate, store, and integrate all of the data on the Web, making data collection and integration a challenge. •The Web is too complex. The complexity of a Web page is far greater than a page in a traditional text document collection. Web pages lack a unified structure. They contain far more authoring style and content variation than any set of books, articles, or other traditional text-based document. •The Web is too dynamic. The Web is a highly dynamic information source. Not only does the Web grow rapidly, but its content is constantly being updated. Blogs, news stories, stock market results, weather reports, sports scores, prices, company advertisements, and numerous other types of information are updated regularly on the Web. •The Web is not specific to a domain. The Web serves a broad diversity of communities and connects billions of workstations. Web users have very different backgrounds, interests, and usage purposes. Most users may not have good knowledge of the structure of the information network and may not be aware of the heavy cost of a particular search that they perform. •The Web has everything. Only a small portion of the information on the Web is truly relevant or useful to someone (or some task). Finding the portion of the Web that is truly relevant to a person and the task being performed is a prominent issue in Web-related research.
