Carlo Strapparava, Alessandro Valitutti, Oliviero Stock · 2006
This paper presents resources and functionalities for the recognition and selection of affective evaluative terms.An affective hierarchy as an extension of the WORDNET-AFFECT lexical database was developed in the first place.The second phase was the development of a semantic similarity function, acquired automatically in an unsupervised way from a large corpus of texts, which allows us to put into relation concepts and emotional categories.The integration of the two components is a key element for several applications.
