Towards Contextual Healthiness Classification of Food Items - A Linguistic Approach
Michael Wiegand, Dietrich Klakow · Publication Server of the Institute for German Language (Institute for German Language) · 2013
We explore the feasibility of contextual healthiness classification of food items. We present a detailed analysis of the linguistic phenomena that need to be taken into consideration for this task based on a specially annotated corpus extracted from web forum entries. For automatic classification, we compare a supervised classifier and rule-based classification. Beyond linguistically motivated features that include sentiment information we also consider the prior healthiness of food items.
