RALI-OLST-ILFC Weekly Talks
On Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. (Montreal time), we hold a one-hour talk on a language processing or linguistics topic. It is typically offered in hybrid mode (in person/videoconference). Once a month, the talk is organized by the French research group Linguistique Informatique, Formelle et de Terrain.
Learning Informativeness of Opinions

Text informativeness, defined as the amount of provided information, depends on context and situation. In evaluative texts, authors provide implicit information that reinforce or diminish the explicitly stated opinion. We built language features that correspond to a few types of implicit and explicit information and use these features to represent texts of product reviews. By applying Machine Learning algorithms to the texts, we studied relations between informativeness and the strength of opinions.
