New publications:
Kasdi-Merbah (University) Emotional Database in Arabic Speech was
developed by the University of Kasdi Merbah Ouargla and contains two
hours of Modern Standard Arabic prompted speech from 500 speakers (254
female, 246 male) representing 5,000 utterances. Each speaker read ten
sentences, with two sentences each for five different emotions
(sadness, fear, anger, happiness, neutral).

2023 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts.

TAC-KBP Belief and Sentiment – Comprehensive Training and Evaluation
Data 2016-2017 includes all training and evaluation data developed by
LDC for the Belief and Sentiment tracks: source documents (Chinese,
English, and Spanish newswire and discussion forums); gold standard
entity, relation, and event annotation; and belief and sentiment
annotation.

The goal of the TAC-KBP Belief and Sentiment track was to provide
information about beliefs and sentiments held by entities toward other
entities, as well as toward events and relations. The gold standard
set of labeled entities, relations, and events was used to create a
system for automatically labeling belief and sentiment about each
possible target (entity, relation, or event) and for identifying the
entity holding the belief or sentiment.
