Roman Polanski and Sentiments

Polanski in the news

Recently heard that Roman Polanski was captured and there has been lively debate on what to do with him.

I thought this could be an interesting case to see if there is any patterns on sentiments in the digital world. Unlike the Sonia Sotomayor analysis though, this is just a single slice of time look.

In the top 30 terms in the three major web results, most of them seems to be factual with a few negative terms such as "avoided."

(Correction: I originally used "repulsion" as an example of negative term, turns out that it is the title of one of Polanski's films and considered a milestone in the psychological thriller genre. My bad!)

More on the results

A reminder, if you are interested in finding out more about the result details or the inference engine used in this analysis, please let me know at yfjuan (at) parc (dot) com.
