In this paper, we present our contribution in SemEval2016 task7 1 : Determining Sentiment Intensity of English and Arabic Phrases, where use web search engines for unsupervised sentiment intensity prediction.Our work is based, first, on a group classic lexicons (e.g.Sen-timent140 Lexicon, SentiWordNet).Second, engines' ability to find the cooccurrence sentences with predefined negative positive words.The (e.g.Google Search API) enhance results phrases built from opposite polarity terms.

When pieces from an individual's personal information available online are connected over time and across multiple platforms, this more complete digital trace can give unintended insights into their life opinions. In a data narrative interview study with 26 currently employed participants, we examined risks harms to individuals employers when others joined the dots between information. We discuss themes of visibility self-disclosure, unintentional leakage privacy literacies constructed our...

We present, in this paper, our contribution SemEval2017 task 4 : “Sentiment Analysis Twitter”, subtask A: “Message Polarity Classification”, for English and Arabic languages. Our system is based on a list of sentiment seed words adapted tweets. The relations between other terms are captured by cosine similarity the word embedding representations (word2vec). These extracted from datasets annotated tweets available online. tests, using these words, show significant improvement results compared...

Abstract Every day, people post information about themselves and others on online social networks, making such accessible within their circles but also, potentially, way beyond. While the posted may seem benign or innocuous, small pieces of information, when tied together, can potentially reveal much more person than intended. Such cumulative revelations could expose them to risks as identity theft, fraud loss employment. This paper describes findings from interviews people's interactions,...
