Approaches for Automatically Tagging Affect

چکیده
The tagging of discourse is important not only for natural language processing research, but for many applications in the social sciences as well. This paper describes an evaluation of a range of different tagging techniques to automatically determine the attitude of speakers in transcribed psychiatric dialogues. It presents results in a marriage counseling domain that classifies the attitude and emotional commitment of the participants to a particular topic of discussion. It also gives results from the Switchboard Corpus to facilitate comparison for future work. Finally, it describes a new Java tool that learns attitude classifications using our techniques and provides a flexible, easy to use platform for tagging of texts.

متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملWeakly Supervised Part-of-Speech Tagging for Morphologically-Rich, Resource-Scarce Languages
This paper examines unsupervised approaches to part-of-speech (POS) tagging for morphologically-rich, resource-scarce languages, with an emphasis on Goldwater and Griffiths’s (2007) fully-Bayesian approach originally developed for English POS tagging. We argue that existing unsupervised POS taggers unrealistically assume as input a perfect POS lexicon, and consequently, we propose a weakly supe...
متن کاملEstimating Membership Functions in a Fuzzy Network Model for Part-of-Speech Tagging
Part-of-Speech(POS) tagging is a process of assigning a POS to each word in a sentence. Since many words are often ambiguous in their POSs, POS tagging must be able to select the best POS sequence for a given sentence. Recently, probabilis-tic approaches have shown very promising results to solve such ambiguity problems. Probabilistic approaches, however, usually require lots of training data t...
متن کاملA New Method for Improving Computational Cost of Open Information Extraction Systems Using Log-Linear Model
Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...
