Generating Valence Shifted Turkish Sentences
Şeniz Demir · 2014
Valence shifting is the task of rewrit-ing a text towards more/less positively or negatively slanted versions. This paper presents a rule-based approach to produc-ing Turkish sentences with varying senti-ment. The approach utilizes semantic rela-tions in the Turkish and English WordNets to determine word polarities and involves the use of lexical substitution and adver-bial rules to alter the sentiment of a text in the intended direction. In a user study, the effectiveness of the generation approach is evaluated on real product reviews. 1
