Annotating evaluative sentences for sentiment analysis: a dataset for Norwegian

Petter Mæhlum, Jeremy Barnes, Lilja Øvrelid, Erik Velldal


Abstract
This paper documents the creation of a large-scale dataset of evaluative sentences – i.e. both subjective and objective sentences that are found to be sentiment-bearing – based on mixed-domain professional reviews from various news-sources. We present both the annotation scheme and first results for classification experiments. The effort represents a step toward creating a Norwegian dataset for fine-grained sentiment analysis.
