Abstract

This paper describes the preliminary results of a system for extracting sentiments opinioned with regard with named entities. It also combines rule-based classification, statistics and machine learning in a new method. The accuracy and speed of extraction and classification are crucial. The service oriented architecture permits the end-user to work with a flexible interface in order to produce applications that range from aggregating consumer feedback on commercial products to measuring public opinion on political issues from blog and forums. The experiment has two versions available for testing, one with concrete extraction results and sentiment calculus and the other with internal metrics validation results.

Emotions from text

785 Citations2005Cecilia Ovesdotter Alm, Dan Roth +1 more

This paper explores the text-based emotion prediction problem empirically, using supervised machine learning with the SNoW learning architecture to classify the emotional affinity of sentences in the narrative domain of children's fairy tales, for subsequent usage in appropriate expressive rendering of text-to-speech synthesis.

A model of textual affect sensing using real-world knowledge

531 Citations2003Hugo Liu, Henry Lieberman +1 more

This paper demonstrates a new approach, using large-scale real-world knowledge about the inherent affective nature of everyday situations to classify sentences into "basic" emotion categories, and suggests that the approach is robust enough to enable plausible affective text user interfaces.

307 Citations1994Janyce Wiebe

This paper presents an algorithm to develop an algorithm that tracks point of view on the basis of the regularities found in naturally occurring narrative, and describes the results of some preliminary empirical studies, which lend support to the algorithm.

The Blog track began this year, with the aim to explore the information seeking behaviour in the blogosphere, and a new large-scale test collection, namely the TREC Blog06 collection, has been created.

Exploiting subjectivity classification to improve information extraction

152 Citations2005Ellen Riloff, Janyce Wiebe +1 more

An IE system that uses a subjective sentence classifier to filter its extractions is described and it is found that indiscriminately filtering extractions from subjective sentences was overly aggressive, but more selective filtering strategies improved IE precision with minimal recall loss.

Direction-based text interpretation as an information access refinement

135 Citations1992Marti A. Hearst

A method is described for coercing sentence meanings into a metaphoric model such that the only semantic interpretation needed in order to determine the directionality of a sentence is done with respect to the model.
