interdisciplinary aspects of affect computation from text.

analysis
- Modelling commonsense knowledge for subjectivity, sentiment or emotion
analysis
- Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis
- Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation of subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis
- The role of emotions in argument mining
