Lexicon-based approaches have been widely used for opinion retrieval due to their simplicity. However, no previous work has focused on the domain-dependency problem in opinion lexicon construction. This paper proposes simple feedback-style learning for query-specific opinion lexicon using the set of top-retrieved documents in response to a query. The proposed learning starts from the initial do...

This paper describes a set of interactive routines that can be used to create, maintain, and update a computer lexicon. The routines are available to the user as a set of commands resembling a simple operating system. The lexicon produced by this system is based on lexical-semantic relations, but is compatible with a variety of other models of lexicon structure. The lexicon builder is suitable ...

PURPOSE We sought to identify the core lexicon of a picture-description task using transcripts from the AphasiaBank database and to determine differences in core-lexicon usage between control speakers and persons with aphasia (PWAs). We also investigated the relationship between core lexicon and an established discourse measure, main-concept analysis. METHOD A core lexicon was developed by id...
