Word Sense and Subjectivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subjectivity and meaning are both important properties of language. This paper explores their interaction, and brings empirical evidence in support of the hypotheses that (1) subjectivity is a property that can be associated with word senses, and (2) word sense disambiguation can directly benefit from subjectivity annotations.

Word Sense Subjectivity for Cross-lingual Lexical Substitution
We explore the relation between word sense subjectivity and cross-lingual lexical substitution, following the intuition that good substitutions will transfer a word’s (contextual) sentiment from the source language into the target language. Experiments on English-Chinese lexical substitution show that taking a word’s subjectivity into account can indeed improve performance. We also show that ju...
متن کاملImproving Subjectivity Detection using Unsupervised Subjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation
In this work, we present a sentence-level subjectivity detection method, which relies on Subjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation (SWSD). We use an unsupervised sense clustering-based method for SWSD. In our method, semantic resources tagged with emotions and sentiment polarities are used to apply subjectivity detection, intervening Word Sense Disambiguation sub-tasks. Through an experimental stu...
متن کاملSubjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper investigates a new task, subjectivity word sense disambiguation (SWSD), which is to automatically determine which word instances in a corpus are being used with subjective senses, and which are being used with objective senses. We provide empirical evidence that SWSD is more feasible than full word sense disambiguation, and that it can be exploited to improve the performance of conte...
متن کاملFrom Words to Senses: A Case Study of Subjectivity Recognition
We determine the subjectivity of word senses. To avoid costly annotation, we evaluate how useful existing resources established in opinion mining are for this task. We show that results achieved with existing resources that are not tailored towards word sense subjectivity classification can rival results achieved with supervision on a manually annotated training set. However, results with diffe...
متن کاملIterative Constrained Clustering for Subjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation
Subjectivity word sense disambiguation (SWSD) is a supervised and applicationspecific word sense disambiguation task disambiguating between subjective and objective senses of a word. Not surprisingly, SWSD suffers from the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. In this work, we use a “cluster and label” strategy to generate labeled data for SWSD semiautomatically. We define a new algorithm called It...
