Toward a unifying model for Opinion, Sentiment and Emotion information extraction

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2014)

Abstract

This paper presents a logical formalization of a set 20 semantic categories related to opinion, emotion and sentiment. Our formalization is based on the BDI model (Belief, Desire and Intetion) and constitues a first step toward a unifying model for subjective information extraction. The separability of the subjective classes that we propose was assessed both formally and on two subjective reference corpora.
