Task Overview

  • Based on the discussion among organizers, we decided to continue multilingual opinion analysis task using newspapers recently published in 2002-2005. We plan to continue four subtasks proposed in past MOAT: (1) opinion judgement, (2) polarity judgement, (3) opinion holder identification, and (4) opinion target identification. We are also planning several new challenges as follows.

A. Scenario-based evaluation with opinion question

In the past MOAT, we evaluated the participants' results by subtasks. In this year, we plan to provide opinion question, which contained polarity and/or opinion target information. For example, "What negative prospects were discussed about swine flu?". We plan to provide the evaluation about how the participants could extract opinions requested by the questions.

B. Cross-lingual opinion analysis

We also plan to conduct the new subtask for cross-lingual opinion analysis: query is provided in English and the target document collection is provided in four languages.
