TASK DEFINITION: Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kahle is Positive . “Absolutely ” Mr. Kahle said. “We think of it as news.”
The Internet Archive has been quietly recording the news material from all these outlets  which means   Mr. Kahle  said  capturing not only every edition of “60 Minutes” on CBS but also every minute of every day on CNN.
All of this will be available  free  to those willing to dive into the archive starting Tuesday.  Mr. Kahle  said the method for the search for information would be the closed-captioned words that have accompanied the news programs. The user simply plugs in the words of the search  along with some kind of time frame  and matches of news clips will appear.
 Mr. Kahle  predicted there would often be hundreds of matches  but  he  said the system had an interface that would make it easy to browse quickly through 30-second clips in search of the right one. If a researcher wants a copy of the entire program  a DVD will be sent on loan.
The inspiration of the Library of Alexandria  the archive of the knowledge in ancient world in Egypt  was not frivolous.  Mr. Kahle  said that early effort to assemble the collected works of civilization was in  his  mind when  he  conceived the idea to use the almost infinite capacity of the Web to pursue the modern equivalent.
“You could turn all the books in the Library of Congress into a stack of disks that would fit in one shopping cart in Best Buy ”  Mr. Kahle  said.  He  estimates that the Internet Archive now contains about 9 000 terabytes of data; by contrast  the digital collection of the Library of Congress is a little more than 300 terabytes  according to an estimate earlier this year.
 Mr. Kahle  calls  himself  a technologist and says  he  moved to the archive project after previously founding and selling off two data-mining companies  one to AOL  the other to Amazon.
The television news project  like  his  other archive projects  is financed mainly through outside grants  though  Mr. Kahle  did put up some of  his  own money to start.  He  said grants from the National Archives  the Library of Congress and other government agencies and foundations made up the bulk of the financing for the project.  He  set the annual budget at $12 million  and said about 150 people were working on the project.
The archive has no intention of replacing or competing with the Web outlets owned by the news organizations.  Mr. Kahle  said new material would not be added until 24 hours after it was first broadcast. “We don’t expect this to replace CNN.com ”  he  said.
As enormous as the news collection is  it is only the beginning   Mr. Kahle  said. The plan is to “go back” year by year  and slowly add news video going back to the start of television. That will require some new and perhaps more challenging methodology because the common use of closed-captioning only started around 2002.
 Mr. Kahle  said some new technique  perhaps involving word recognition  would be necessary. “We need some interface that is good enough and doesn’t interrupt commerce enough that they get upset with us.”
“Yes  we want eventually to be able to make coverage of  say  the 1956 political conventions available ” Mr. Kahle said.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steven Mnuchin is Positive . Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin  will spare the departmentâs markets room from an internal push to shutter or outsource an operation that was the agencyâs nerve center as it tried to contain the 2008 financial crisis.
The unit  staffed by about 10 career Treasury officials  came into the crosshairs of some of  Mnuchinâs  senior advisers as the Trump administration tries to trim overall government spending  according to three people familiar with the matter.

But  Mnuchin  says  he  has no intention of closing down an office that gained stature a decade ago under Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson --  his  former boss at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The recent rout in share prices as bond yields became unhinged provides  Mnuchin  the perfect reason to keep the markets unit open.
âThe markets desk is important to have â  Mnuchin  said last week in an interview with Bloomberg News. âIt allows us  in times of uncertainty  to monitor lots of things.â
The operation  with its roughly 10 Bloomberg and Reuters terminals  prepares daily briefings for  Mnuchin  and President Donald Trump on financial markets  can dive deep into particular regions or asset classes to help policy making  and is available around the clock.
 Mnuchin  has found other ways to cut costs.  He  has left open the departmentâs No. 2 post  deputy secretary  and reduced staffing levels.  He  announced plans to cut the Office of Financial Research  a byproduct of the Dodd-Frank law  by a third.
Having about 10 people inside Treasury dedicated to the job in the markets room among 70 000 employees at Treasury is âa good investment â  he  said.
During the recent market frenzy   Mnuchin  said  he  spoke with executives at three of the larger banks  along with officials from the New York Federal Reserve  the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodities and Futures Trading Commission.  He  checked  his  iPhone every few minutes for updates  even during  his  appearance at a congressional hearing on Feb. 6.
 Mnuchin  has called the volatility a correction  brushing aside investor concerns about rising prices. Markets have since calmed.
âPeople should actually take a lot of confidence in the fact that we could have this big of a correction and the system worked fine â  Mnuchin  said.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Jong-un is Negative . In August  Trump told the North Koreans what to expect if they made any more threats against the United States: “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” That warning didn’t deter  Kim Jong-un  from conducting a nuclear detonation and additional missile tests  part of  his  quest for the capacity to execute a nuclear strike on the American mainland.
The other day  Sen. Lindsey Graham  R-S.C.  told The Atlantic that “there’s a three in 10 chance we use the military option” — a figure he raises to “70 percent” if there’s another test. Based on their conversations  he says Trump “has 100 percent made up his mind that he’s not gonna let Kim Jong-un” deploy “a missile and a nuclear warhead that can hit America effectively.”
 Kim  has shown no penchant for suicide. The only circumstance in which  he  would be likely to fire nuclear-armed missiles is if North Korea or  his  regime were under surprise attack — leaving  him  nothing to lose. In this case  the remedy wouldn’t cure the disease; it would cause the disease.
The hawks speculate that the North Korean despot would use these devices to intimidate us while forcing South Korea to accept reunification under  his  rule.  He  might figure that an American president would not risk the radioactive obliteration of Los Angeles or Washington to save a distant ally.
But for Kim  the risk of being wrong on that gamble would be annihilation. And if we want to remove any doubts in  his  mind  we could turn over some of our nukes to the South Korean government — which would have every reason to retaliate.

SOLUTION:
no
