An open-source tool for negation detection: a maximum-margin approach

Martine Enger, Erik Velldal, Lilja Øvrelid


Abstract
This paper presents an open-source toolkit for negation detection. It identifies negation cues and their corresponding scope in either raw or parsed text using maximum-margin classification. The system design draws on best practice from the existing literature on negation detection, aiming for a simple and portable system that still achieves competitive performance. Pre-trained models and experimental results are provided for English.
