Overview of the IGGSA 2016 Shared Task on Source and Target Extraction from Political Speeches
(2016)
We present the second iteration of IGGSA’s Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis for German. It resumes the STEPS task of IGGSA’s 2014 evaluation campaign: Source, Subjective Expression and Target Extraction from Political Speeches. As before, the task is focused on fine-grained sentiment analysis, extracting sources and targets with their associated subjective expressions from a corpus of speeches given in the Swiss parliament. The second iteration exhibits some differences, however; mainly the use of an adjudicated gold standard and the availability of training data. The shared task had 2 participants submitting 7 runs for the full task and 3 runs for each of the subtasks. We evaluate the results and compare them to the baselines provided by the previous iteration. The shared task homepage can be found at http://iggsasharedtask2016.github.io/.
