The StaViCTA project is concerned with visualising the expression of stance in written text, and is therefore dependent on components for stance detection. These components are to (i) download and extract text from any HTML page and segment it into sentences, (ii) classify each sentence with respect to twelve different, notionally motivated, stance categories, and (iii) provide a RESTful HTTP API for communication with the visualisation components. The stance categories are certainty, uncertainty, contrast, recommendation, volition, prediction, agreement, disagreement, tact, rudeness, hypotheticality, and source of knowledge.
