BeSt: The Belief and Sentiment Corpus
Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2022)
Abstract
We present the BeSt corpus, which records cognitive state: who believes what (i.e., factuality), and who has what sentiment towards what. This corpus is inspired by similar source-and-target corpora, specifically MPQA and FactBank. The corpus comprises two genres, newswire and discussion forums, in three languages, Chinese (Mandarin), English, and Spanish. The corpus is distributed through the LDC.
