TL;DR
An annotation scheme is presented that realizes the opinion frames and via human annotation studies, it is shown that these can be reliably identified.
Abstract
This work proposes opinion frames as a representation of discourse-level associations that arise from related opinion targets and which are common in task-oriented meeting dialogs. We define the opinion frames and explain their interpretation. Additionally we present an annotation scheme that realizes the opinion frames and via human annotation studies, we show that these can be reliably identified.

A new approach to phrase-level sentiment analysis is presented that first determines whether an expression is neutral or polar and then disambiguates the polarity of the polar expressions.

A novel machine-learning method is proposed that applies text-categorization techniques to just the subjective portions of the document, which greatly facilitates incorporation of cross-sentence contextual constraints.

In this paper, formal definitions are given for several coherence relations, based on the operations of an inference system; that is, the relations between successive portions of a discourse are characterized in terms of the inferences that can be drawn from each.

The goal of the research is to develop a system that can distinguish subjective sentences from objective sentences, and a Naive Bayes classifier is trained using the subjective nouns, discourse features, and subjectivity clues identified in prior research.

It is found that the incorporation of sources of information regarding relationships between discourse segments, such as whether a given utterance indicates agreement with the opinion expressed by another, yields substantial improvements over classifying speeches in isolation.
Multiple Aspect Ranking Using the Good Grief Algorithm
316 Citations2007Benjamin Snyder, Regina Barzilay
An algorithm is presented that jointly learns ranking models for individual aspects by modeling the dependencies between assigned ranks, and it is proved that the agreementbased joint model is more expressive than individual ranking models.

100 Citations1978Jerry R. Hobbs
It is argued that coherence can be characterized in terms of a set of coherence relations between segments of a discourse, and shown, from an abstract description of the discourse situation, that these relations correspond to the kinds of communicative work that needs to get done in discourse.
Computing Reliability for Coreference Annotation
