Unlike the data-mining!

Extracting Subjective Information

is an Opinion Mining...

What is
Polarity & Intensity?


2. Problem Definition

  • Finding interesting Results

3. Motivation

  • Is a Difficult Task
  • Existing Research focused on word/phrase level

3.1 A Difficult Task

3.1 Challenges

  • Context & Domain Dependent
  • Detection Accuracy
  • Accurate polarity is hard to achive with higher levels
  • Huge data and Computation Cost.
