Abstract

This work shows how to construct discourse-level opinion graphs to perform a joint interpretation of opinions and discourse relations. Specifically, our opinion graphs enable us to factor in discourse information for polarity classification, and polarity information for discourse-link classification. This inter-dependent framework can be used to augment and improve the performance of local polarity and discourse-link classifiers.
