In which way ”sentiment” belongs to semantics?

Lecture 3: Sentiment Analysis

17

Semantics is the study of meaning: It focuses on the relation

between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for. Through a semantics, we want to understand human language.

Through SA we want to automatically identify the meaning of certain words, phrases, etc. and how they relate to affective states expressed in texts (long, short, oral, written, etc.)

You are going to apply for funding . You are interested in Horizion 2020 funding scheme (the new European research and innovation funding framework)

You think it is a good idea to create a Mood Index App.

Plan with your team mates this new sentiment-based app. Present to the audience the following aspects:

1) Purpose: what is the main use of this new app? (ex, identification of self-distructive behavior,

depressive states, sad/happy mood, freindly attitudes, etc.) 2) Target users: who is going to use this app? (young people, parents, etc) 3) Scenario: describe a typical scenario/context where your app is going to be used with fruitful

results 4) Computational aspects: Which sentiment classes is the app going to identify? In which

language? Which computational model is going to be based upon? 5) The actors: what kind of experts do you need? (ex a computational linguist, a app developer,

a psychiatrist, a company taking care of marketing and commercialization, a social worker, school teacher etc.)

6) Societal Benefits: How can the commercialization of your app contribute to decrease unemployment in your country and/or in EU.

7) Any additional aspect you might find relevant.
