We present an approach for opinion role induction for verbal predicates. Our model rests on the assumption that opinion verbs can be divided into three different types where each type is associated with a characteristic mapping between semantic roles and opinion holders and targets. In several experiments, we demonstrate the relevance of those three categories for the task. We show that verbs can easily be categorized with semi-supervised graphbased clustering and some appropriate similarity metric. The seeds are obtained through linguistic diagnostics. We evaluate our approach against a new manually-compiled opinion role lexicon and perform in-context classification.
Feedback utterances are among the most frequent in dialogue. Feedback is also a crucial aspect of linguistic theories that take social interaction, involving language, into account. This paper introduces the corpora and datasets of a project scrutinizing this kind of feedback utterances in French. We present the genesis of the corpora (for a total of about 16 hours of transcribed and phone force-aligned speech) involved in the project. We introduce the resulting datasets and discuss how they are being used in on-going work with focus on the form-function relationship of conversational feedback. All the corpora created and the datasets produced in the framework of this project will be made available for research purposes.
