Using sentiment analysis to measure the effects of leaders in global software development
1. Does the paper propose a new opinion mining approach?
No
2. Which opinion mining techniques are used (list all of them, clearly stating their name/reference)?
Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC): https://liwc.wpengine.com/ However, LIWC provide information beyond opinion mining, as it computes language-related statistics associated to a broad spectrum of psychological insights, from sentiment to personality. No explicit link between word-based metrics and polarity is leveraged in the study
3. Which opinion mining approaches in the paper are publicly available? Write down their name and links. If no approach is publicly available, leave it blank or None.
LIWC: https://liwc.wpengine.com/
4. What is the main goal of the whole study?
Modeling the leaders' communication activities in global software development teams and investigate their impact on the global team performance
5. What the researchers want to achieve by applying the technique(s) (e.g., calculate the sentiment polarity of app reviews)?
Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) measures were used to investigate the linguistic features of distributed software teams
6. Which dataset(s) the technique is applied on?
Data collected from students’ chat histories and forum discussions from two global software development projects.
7. Is/Are the dataset(s) publicly available online? If yes, please indicate their name and links.
No
8. Is the application context (dataset or application domain) different from that for which the technique was originally designed?
Yes, LIWC is originally tuned using a general-purpose corpus of blogs, newspaper, novels, etc.
9. Is the performance (precision, recall, run-time, etc.) of the technique verified? If yes, how did they verify it and what are the results?
The performance of LIWC is not assessed and the tool is used 'off-the-shelf'
10. Does the paper replicate the results of previous work? If yes, leave a summary of the findings (confirm/partially confirms/contradicts).
No
11. What success metrics are used?
NA
