The Role of Predicates in Opinion Holder Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the role of predicates in opinion holder extraction. We will examine the shape of these predicates, investigate what relationship they bear towards opinion holders, determine what resources are potentially useful for acquiring them, and point out limitations of an opinion holder extraction system based on these predicates. For this study, we will carry out an evaluation on a corpus annotated with opinion holders. Our insights are, in particular, important for situations in which no labeled training data are available and only rule-based methods can be applied.

Opinion Holder and Target Extraction for Verb-based Opinion Predicates - The Problem is Not Solved
We offer a critical review of the current state of opinion role extraction involving opinion verbs. We argue that neither the currently available lexical resources nor the manually annotated text corpora are sufficient to appropriately study this task. We introduce a new corpus focusing on opinion roles of opinion verbs from the Subjectivity Lexicon and show potential benefits of this corpus. W...
متن کاملOpinion Holder and Target Extraction based on the Induction of Verbal Categories
We present an approach for opinion role induction for verbal predicates. Our model rests on the assumption that opinion verbs can be divided into three different types where each type is associated with a characteristic mapping between semantic roles and opinion holders and targets. In several experiments, we demonstrate the relevance of those three categories for the task. We show that verbs c...

متن کاملConvolution Kernels for Opinion Holder Extraction
Opinion holder extraction is one of the important subtasks in sentiment analysis. The effective detection of an opinion holder depends on the consideration of various cues on various levels of representation, though they are hard to formulate explicitly as features. In this work, we propose to use convolution kernels for that task which identify meaningful fragments of sequences or trees by the...
