Abstract

In this paper, we concentrate on the 3 of the tracks proposed in the NTCIR 8 MOAT, concerning the classification of sentences according to their opinionatedness, relevance and polarity. We propose a method for the detection of opinions, relevance, and polarity classification, based on ISR-WN (a resource for the multidimensional analysis with Relevant Semantic Trees of sentences using different WordNet-based information sources). Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that the resource and methods we propose are appropriate for the task, reaching the level of state-of-the-art approaches.
