Published: July 2017

O'Brien (Research Article, 24 February 2017, eaag1789) proposed a novel mechanism of primase function based on redox activity of the iron-sulfur cluster buried inside the C-terminal domain of the large primase subunit (p58C). Serious problems in the experimental design and data interpretation raise concerns about the validity of the conclusions.

Aspect Category Sentiment Analysis (ACSA) is a fine-grained sentiment analysis task aimed at predicting the sentiment polarity associated with aspect categories within a sentence.Most existing ACSA methods are based on a given aspect category to locate sentiment words related to it. When irrelevant sentiment words have semantic meaning for the given aspect category, it may cause the problem that sentiment words cannot be matched with aspect categories.
