Elena Lloret, Alexandra Balahur, Manuel Palomar, Andrés Montoyo · 2011
The aim of this paper is to present an approach to tackle the task of opinion question answering and text summarization. Following the guidelines TAC 2008 Opinion Summarization Pilot task, we propose new methods for each of the major components of the process. In particular, for the information retrieval, opinion mining and summarization stages. The performance obtained improves with respect to the state of the art by approximately 12.50%, thus concluding that the suggested approaches for these three components are adequate. 1
