Abstract

Recent years have shown a large increase in the usage of content creation platforms---blogs, community QA sites, forums, etc.---aimed at the general public. User generated data contains emotional, opinionated, sentimental, and personal posts. This characteristic makes it an interesting data source for exploring new types of linguistic analysis, as is demonstrated by research on, e.g., sentiment analysis [4], opinion retrieval [3], and mood detection [1].
