Almost-Unsupervised Cross-Language Opinion Analysis at NTCIR-7
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the Sussex NLCL System entered in the NTCIR-7 Multilingual Opinion Analysis Task (MOAT). Our main focus is on the problem of portability of natural language processing systems across languages. Our system was the only one entered for all four of the MOAT languages, Japanese, English, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The system uses an almostunsupervised approach applied to two of the sub-tasks: opinionated sentence detection and topic relevance detection.

We used a simple heuristic to detect opinion holders, determining whether a person was being quoted in a specific sentence or not, and if so, who. We also explored the the use of unsupervised learners and voting to increase our cov...
