Legislating on Arbitration in Singapore: Linguistic Insights
No full textArbitration, a cost-effective and expeditious alternative to court litigation, takes place within complex and important national and international legal frameworks where legislation, rules, and conventions provide specialized regimes for the conduct of arbitrations. In recent years, Singapore has given evidence of a significant legislative activity in its fervor to make arbitration quicker and more efficient, and therefore has adopted domestic and international regimes that govern private commercial arbitration: the domestic Arbitration Act 2001 (AA) and the International Arbitration Act 2002 (IAA). While these laws differ from each other in matters of arbitral proceedings, they also reflect the best practice in dispute resolution used in the Asia Pacific Region, where Singapore is a regional and financial centre that serves as a gateway between East and West.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the arbitral regime and practice arising from the Singapore Arbitration Act 2001. The paper will look at the piece of legislative drafting from the perspective of language use in order to gain insights into the rhetorical and discursive features realized in the construction of the genre. First, the paper will outline the nature and topic of a two-ranked arbitral regime (AA – IAA) that is of relevance for the arbitration framework in Singapore. Secondly, the paper will analyze quantitatively and qualitatively the linguistic and textual choices realized in the professional/institutional practice and discourse of the genre, while also identifying those features which seem to constrain the accessibility and interpretation of legislative action performed in the genre. To the extent that Singapore inherited the Western-style legal culture of the English common law tradition, this part of the paper will also assess how the Singapore Arbitration Act borrowed semantic resources from the English Arbitration Act 1996 previously investigated by this author (Tessuto 2003), therefore giving rise to manifestations of “interdiscursivity” (Bhatia 2008, 2010a, 2011) from the discursive process and professional practice of English arbitration. Finally, the paper will draw some conclusions from the analysis of the most salient rhetorical and discursive data in the chosen genre, by adding as yet to our understanding of the intercultural and interdiscursive elements of drafting in the Eastern and Western socio-legal contexts

No full textMixed Based Classifier Approach for Sentiment Analysis
No full textM.E. (Software Engineering)The increasing expansion of social media stuff provides massive collection of textual information. People share their thoughts and views on the WEB. So sentiment analysis used to classifies the sentiments or the opinions from this huge amount of data. There are already many algorithms to find the sentiment form the data but there are many difficulties present to handle data like slang words and miss-spelling so the efficiency and the accuracy of these algorithms became poor. In this methodology the underlying idea is to achieve a particular accuracy rate by a new mixed algorithm by using different approaches like POS, N-Gram and some lexicon techniques.Computer Science and Engineering, Thapar Univesity, Patial

However, choice data are stochastic and therefore need to be modeled probabilistically. According to one probabilistic modeling approach, a decision maker has a fixed preference, but makes errors when selecting the utility-maximizing option. In another approach, a decision maker makes no errors, but his preference itself is probabilistic. Bhatia and Loomes (2017) refer to the first approach as ""response noise"" and the second approach as ""preference noise."" To avoid incorrect conclusions of a decision maker's underlying preferences, Bhatia and Loomes (2017) strongly advocate for modeling both types of noise simultaneously. In this commentary, we discuss the methods of Bhatia and Loomes (2017) and revisit a hybrid model, which models response and preference noise simultaneously, to address some limitations of these methods. Furthermore, we illustrate the hybrid model, discuss further refinements to the model, and illustrate model fit using data from hypothetical decision makers."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Bryanna Fields, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-22 at 20:15.The student, Bryanna Fields, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-22 at 20:25.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-23 at 17:39
Tracing the journey of Thattai Bhatia community through their culinary identity
No full textAbstract The paper acknowledges the remarkable contribution of cookbooks which have always played an instrumental role in researching the history of any community. However, it brings to light the fact that there are several reasons like migration, small size of the community or the nomadic lifestyles when the culinary regime of the community could not be documented. In such cases, the everyday food choices of an ethnic community can lead us to tracing its origin and journey. The paper, thus, argues that in situations where there is paucity of literature documenting the culinary system or foodways, culinary identity of the community can become an effective method to trace the history of the community. The same is proved with the help of a case study of the Thattai Bhatia community. Thattai Bhatia is a small diaspora largely settled in the Persian Gulf, originally migrated from Rajasthan in India and later from Thatta in Sindh, Pakistan. The research reveals the reasons behind their distinct foodways such as abstinence from consuming liquor, meat, garlic and onion in particular, despite their intermingling with different ethnicities due to migration. The paper draws evidences from their regular foodways and traverses backwards to trace their origins, their history and the reasons that have shaped their contemporary food choices. With limited availability of literature, the author had to depend on the information provided during interviews by some of the community members about their food practices. All the findings are substantiated with references from the historical literature available

Towards a Cross-article Narrative Comparison of News
No full textIn the world of public misinformation, there are many cases where the information is not false or fabricated, but rather has been manipulated using more subtle techniques such as word replacements, selection of details, omissions and argument distortion. These techniques can have the effect of influencing the reader’s frame of mind towards the events reported. We currently lack the necessary tools to uncover such manipulations automatically. In this position paper, we propose an integrated analysis framework and pipeline to identify various narrative signals in news articles; such as structural roles, framing, and subjectivity. By comparing these at the document level and sentence level, it will be possible to highlight differences of narrative techniques used to report the same news events
