5.1 Sentiment Analysis
What is Sentiment Analysis
Sentiment Analysis is a task that determines the author's opinion or emotion (positive, negative, or neutral) from text.
Applications: Product review analysis, social media monitoring, customer support, brand monitoring
Types of Sentiment Analysis
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Binary Classification | Two-class classification: positive/negative | Whether a review is favorable or negative |
| Multi-class Classification | Multiple emotion categories | Very Negative, Negative, Neutral, Positive, Very Positive |
| Aspect-based Sentiment | Sentiment toward specific aspects | "The food was delicious but the service was bad" → Food: positive, Service: negative |
| Emotion Detection | Detect types of emotions | Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, Surprise |

5.2 Named Entity Recognition (NER)
What is Named Entity Recognition
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a task that extracts and classifies entities such as person names, organization names, locations, and dates from text.
Main Entity Types
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| PERSON | Person names | Barack Obama, Taro Yamada |
| ORG | Organization names | Google, Tokyo University |
| GPE | Geopolitical entities (countries, cities) | Tokyo, United States |
| DATE | Dates | October 21, 2025, yesterday |
| MONEY | Monetary amounts | $100, 10,000 yen |
| PRODUCT | Product names | iPhone, Windows |
BIO Tagging Scheme
NER commonly uses the BIO tagging scheme:
- B (Begin): Start of an entity
- I (Inside): Inside an entity
- O (Outside): Outside any entity
Example: "Barack Obama visited New York"
- Barack:
B-PERSON - Obama:
I-PERSON - visited:
O - New:
B-GPE - York:
I-GPE

Artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress in recent years.
Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, has been particularly successful.
Neural networks with many layers can learn complex patterns from data.
These models have achieved human-level performance on many tasks.
Computer vision has benefited greatly from deep learning advances.
Image classification, object detection, and segmentation are now highly accurate.
Natural language processing has also seen dramatic improvements.
Machine translation quality has improved significantly with neural approaches.
Language models can now generate coherent and contextually appropriate text.
However, challenges remain in areas like reasoning and common sense understanding.
AI systems still struggle with tasks that humans find easy.
Researchers are working on more robust and interpretable AI systems.
The future of AI holds both great promise and important challenges.

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today.
The Earth's average temperature has increased by approximately 1.1 degrees Celsius
since the pre-industrial era, primarily due to human activities that release
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels for energy,
deforestation, and industrial processes are the main contributors to this warming trend.
The effects of climate change are already visible worldwide. Extreme weather events,
such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and severe.
Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of water and melting ice sheets,
threatening coastal communities. Ecosystems are being disrupted, with many species
facing extinction as their habitats change faster than they can adapt.
To address climate change, a global effort is required. The Paris Agreement,
adopted in 2015, aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels. Countries are implementing various strategies,
including transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency,
and developing carbon capture technologies. Individual actions, such as reducing
energy consumption and supporting sustainable practices, also play a crucial role.
Despite progress, significant challenges remain. Many countries still rely heavily
on fossil fuels, and the transition to clean energy requires substantial investment.
Political will and international cooperation are essential for achieving climate goals.
Scientists emphasize that immediate and sustained action is necessary to prevent
the most catastrophic impacts of climate change and ensure a livable planet for
future generations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been rapidly developing in recent years and is impacting all aspects of our lives.

Currently, AI is being used in diverse fields such as medical diagnosis, autonomous driving, voice assistants, and recommendation systems.
In the medical field, AI assists doctors with image diagnosis,
contributing to early disease detection. Autonomous driving technology is being developed
with the aim of reducing traffic accidents and improving transportation efficiency.
However, challenges exist in the development of AI technology. Ethical issues, privacy protection,
and impacts on employment are concerns. Additionally, the opacity of AI's decision-making process,

Exercises
Problem 1 (Difficulty: easy)
Explain the differences between Extractive and Abstractive summarization, and describe their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Sample Answer
Answer:
Extractive Summarization:
- Definition: Extract important sentences directly from the original text
- Methods: TextRank, LexRank, TF-IDF
- Advantages:
- Grammatically correct (uses original sentences)
- Lower computational cost
- Less distortion of facts
- Disadvantages:
- Redundancy may remain
- Cannot modify expressions according to context
- Summary fluency may be low
Abstractive Summarization:
- Definition: Understand content and generate new sentences
- Methods: BART, T5, GPT
- Advantages:
- Concise and fluent summaries
- Can paraphrase and rephrase
- More human-like summaries
- Disadvantages:
- Risk of factual errors (Hallucination)
- Higher computational cost
- Requires large amounts of training data
