statistics can usually be satisfied by any course in probability taught from a rigorous mathematical perspective. Courses in statistics designed for social scientists generally do not have the necessary sophistication. A useful rule of thumb is that courses satisfying this requirement must have a calculus prerequisite. 3.

Deep Visual-Semantic Alignments for Generating Image ...

Figure 2. Overview of our approach. A dataset of images and their sentence descriptions is the input to our model (left). Our model first infers the correspondences (middle, Section3.1) and then learns to generate novel descriptions (right, Section3.2).

Distributed Representations of Sentences and Documents

unique vector, represented by a column in matrix W. The paragraph vector and word vectors are averaged or concate-nated to predict the next word in a context. In the experi-ments, we use concatenation as the method to combine the vectors. More formally, the only change in this model compared to the word vector framework is in equation 1, where h is

Twitter Sentiment Classification using Distant Supervision

1.2 Characteristics of Tweets Twitter messages have many unique attributes, which dif-ferentiates our research from previous research: Length The maximum length of a Twitter message is 140 characters. From our training set, we calculate that the average length of a tweet is 14 words or 78 characters. This
