Project summary

The project is focused on investigating syntactic relations between opinion targets and opinion expressions. The goal is to use available parsing techniques (eg. shallow and dependency) and machine learning to facilitate automated association of opinion expressions with their targets. The project involves corpus-based analyses based on the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP) and opinion corpora obtained in the NEKST project.
