CLS INFRA D8.5 Report on Applied NLP Sentiment Analysis

The following report documents the work of Work Package 8 in the CLS Infrastructure Project. The general goals of this work package are to increase the ease of access and application to NLP tools, including for less-well-resourced languages, as well as their standardization. The report is organized as follows: an explaination of aspect based sentient analysis (ABSA) as a method, and tools developed for this task. These tools are in the form of a notebook. These tools integrate work in both WP 6 and 7 which facilitates integration of the pipeline from data preparation, programmable corpora, to analysis and back.

This research was conducted within the framework of the European-funded Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS INFRA, https://clsinfra.io/) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004984, which aims to build a shared and sustainable infrastructure for literary studies with digital tools.
