Multilingual Subjectivity Analysis Using Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although research in other languages is increasing, much of the work in subjectivity analysis has been applied to English data, mainly due to the large body of electronic resources and tools that are available for this language. In this paper, we propose and evaluate methods that can be employed to transfer a repository of subjectivity resources across languages. Specifically, we attempt to leverage on the resources available for English and, by employing machine translation, generate resources for subjectivity analysis in other languages. Through comparative evaluations on two different languages (Romanian and Spanish), we show that automatic translation is a viable alternative for the construction of resources and tools for subjectivity analysis in a new target language.

Evaluating Multilanguage-Comparability of Subjectivity Analysis Systems
Subjectivity analysis is a rapidly growing field of study. Along with its applications to various NLP tasks, much work have put efforts into multilingual subjectivity learning from existing resources. Multilingual subjectivity analysis requires language-independent criteria for comparable outcomes across languages. This paper proposes to measure the multilanguage-comparability of subjectivity a...
متن کاملMulti-View AdaBoost for Multilingual Subjectivity Analysis
Subjectivity analysis has received increasing attention in natural language processing field. Most of the subjectivity analysis works however are conducted on single languages. In this paper, we propose to perform multilingual subjectivity analysis by combining multi-view learning and AdaBoost techniques. We aim to show that by boosting multi-view classifiers we can develop more effective multi...
متن کاملMultilingual Subjectivity: Are More Languages Better?
While subjectivity related research in other languages has increased, most of the work focuses on single languages. This paper explores the integration of features originating from multiple languages into a machine learning approach to subjectivity analysis, and aims to show that this enriched feature set provides for more effective modeling for the source as well as the target languages. We sh...
متن کاملResource Creation and Evaluation for Multilingual Sentiment Analysis in Social Media Texts
This paper presents an evaluation of the use of machine translation to obtain and employ data for training multilingual sentiment classifiers. We show that the use of machine translated data obtained similar results as the use of native-speaker translations of the same data. Additionally, our evaluations pinpoint to the fact that the use of multilingual data, including that obtained through mac...
متن کاملActive Learning for Multilingual Statistical Machine Translation
Statistical machine translation (SMT) models require bilingual corpora for training, and these corpora are often multilingual with parallel text in multiple languages simultaneously. We introduce an active learning task of adding a new language to an existing multilingual set of parallel text and constructing high quality MT systems, from each language in the collection into this new target lan...
