We report on the two systems we built for Task 1 of the German Sentiment Analysis Shared Task, the task on Source, Subjective Expression and Target Extraction from Political Speeches (STEPS). The first system is a rule-based system relying on a predicate lexicon specifying extraction rules for verbs, nouns and adjectives, while the second is a translation-based system that has been obtained with the help of the (English) MPQA corpus.
We present an approach to the new task of opinion holder and target extraction on opinion compounds. Opinion compounds (e.g. user rating or victim support) are noun compounds whose head is an opinion noun. We do not only examine features known to be effective for noun compound analysis, such as paraphrases and semantic classes of heads and modifiers, but also propose novel features tailored to this new task. Among them, we examine paraphrases that jointly consider holders and targets, a verb detour in which noun heads are replaced by related verbs, a global head constraint allowing inferencing between different compounds, and the categorization of the sentiment view that the head conveys.
