Being enthusiastic is THE thing

Let's get straight to business.

I found several very interesting pages today, all of them regarding vizualization of text analysis results. One of them is also Wordle. Very very cool way of showing people what you're talking about. There are some limitations that bother me, but hey! I can do it my way, right? ;)

I have to admit - I'm getting really enthusiastic about my PhD, but I'm not sure whether is it just due to approaching deadline or ... It must be the deadline :D

Yep, programming is the part that follows...

Sentiment analysis for dummies?

I decided to do some research in sentiment analysis and classification. A colleague of mine made some experiments and got me excited too.

I collected a dataset of nearly 5000 English poems by different (classic) poets and I will try to analyze them to see, whether I can get something useful out of them :)

By reading tons of scientific papers regarding sentiment analysis, I feel I could start writing a book, like Sentiment analysis for dummies :) Probably publishers of the Dummies book series would sue my pants off. Well, maybe I'll write the book anyway, but change the title.

Just kidding. I have to work on my PhD thesis.
