Contextual Phrase-Level Polarity Analysis Using Lexical Affect Scoring and Syntactic N-Grams
TL;DR: A classifier is presented to predict contextual polarity of subjective phrases in a sentence using lexical scoring derived from the Dictionary of Affect in Language and extended through WordNet and n-gram analysis to capture the effect of context.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving word sense disambiguation in lexical chaining
TL;DR: A new linear-time algorithm for lexical chaining that adopts the assumption of one sense per discourse is presented that shows an improvement over previous algorithms when evaluated on a WSD task.
