Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"The volume contains 24 extended versions of papers that were originally presented at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) … . should become an indispensable resource for anyone interested in this area. Whether the reader is more interested in the computational or the linguistic aspects of the problem-or even just the range of possible applications-this collection will broaden the perspective on the issue. For readers with no background in sentiment detection the volume can serve as an initial overview of the field … ." (Michael Gamon, Computational Linguistics, Vol. 33 (2), 2007)



Product Description

Human Language Technology (HLT) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems have typically focused on the "factual" aspect of content analysis. Other aspects, including pragmatics, opinion, and style, have received much less attention. However, to achieve an adequate understanding of a text, these aspects cannot be ignored.

The chapters in this book address attitude, affect, and subjective opinion. Various conceptual models and computational methods are presented, including distinguishing attitudes from simple factual assertions; distinguishing between the author’s reports from reports of other people’s opinions; and distinguishing between explicitly and implicitly stated attitudes. In addition, many applications are described that promise to benefit from the ability to understand attitudes and affect, such as indexing and retrieval of documents by opinion; automatic question answering about opinions; analysis of sentiment in the media and in discussion groups; analyzing client discourse in therapy and counseling; determining relations between scientific texts; generating more appropriate texts; and creating writers’ aids. In addition to English texts, the collection includes studies of French, Japanese, and Portuguese texts.

The chapters in this book are extended and revised versions of papers presented at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Spring Symposium on Exploring Attitude and Affect in Text, which took place in March 2004 at Stanford University. The symposium, and the book which grew out it, represents a first foray into this area and a balance among conceptual models, computational methods, and applications.
