[Gaël Dias]

Dear Yunqing,

I am sending you information gathered on the same topic a few months ago
on this list. I thank Jason Skomorowski, Olga Vechtomova, Raphael
Salkie, Andrei Popescu-Belis, David Day, Lilian Lee, Ralf Steinberger,
Marco Baroni and Diana Inkpen for their help.

Hope it will help you.

Best,

Gaël.

SOME TEXT FROM LILLIAN LEE:
---------------------------

Given your specific focus on subjective vs. objective adjectives and
the use of co-occurrence measures, there might be some other papers of
interest to you.  In particular, Yu and Hatzivassiloglou separated
subjective from objective documents and I believe sentences as well,
using various word-based indicators.  Peter Turney and Michael Littman
have a number of papers on positive vs. negative adjectives. Bo Pang
and my ACL '04 "cutsent" paper that someone referred you to separates
subjective from objective sentences as well, and I believe Kim and
Hovy did too.  Beineke, Hastie et al expanded on Turney's approach.
Hatzivassiloglou and McKeown had an earlier paper on predicting the
semantic orientation of adjectives, which presumably influenced
Hatzivassiloglou and Wiebe's 2000 paper on the effects of adjective
orientation on sentence subjectivity.  Jonathon Read's masters thesis
addresses using pointwise mutual information as a cooccurrence measure
(which is essentially what Turney used, as well).

As for "summarizing and extracting sentiment", which sounds incidental
to your focus but is a category you mentioned in your email, there are
dozens of such papers; Wiebe et al's recent _Computational
Linguistics_ paper gives a survey of about up to '03, and our '04
paper gives some references occurring after that.
