Interesting Sentiment Analysis Demo from Stanford

Following my previous blog post on etcml, I accidentally found out the
related demo http://nlp.stanford.edu:8080/sentiment/rntnDemo.html

And here is the abstract:
This website provides a live demo for predicting the sentiment of movie reviews. Most sentiment prediction systems work just by looking at words in isolation, giving positive points for positive words and negative points for negative words and then summing up these points. That way, the order of words is ignored and important information is lost. In contrast, our new deep learning model actually builds up a representation of whole sentences based on the sentence structure. It computes the sentiment based on how words compose the meaning of longer phrases. This way, the model is not as easily fooled as previous models.
