Not quite so. The instructions you quote are for the first demo, and I followed these.
The second demo is designed to deal specifically with "short texts", reportedly relying on parsing rather than statistics.

To be fair, the description does say: "For reliable result classified texts should contain not less than 200 words."

Hello Alexander,

I tried both of your demos out of interest.

For the first demo I used the default options (the movie reviews and Naive Bayes). I did not understand the output, or how it was supposed to relate to the various parts of the input (if indeed it is?)

For the second demo I entered the following sentences and received the following classifications:

This demo is terrible.                          low_neg
This demo is no good at all.                    high_pos
This demo is far from brilliant.                low_pos

This demo is excellent.                         low_pos
This demo is not bad at all.                    low_pos
Thid demo couldn't be better!                   low_neg

Am I doing something wrong?

I would presently dispute your claimed "undisputable advantages". I am not sure whether your intended customers - who are presumably not language technology experts - will require less or more convincing.

Dear all!

Recently I made an announcement of a book about opinion mining and lexical affect sensing. In this contribution I would like to point you to the EmoText demo program that relies on the findings in this book. It was implemented for the European CALLAS project.

The link is:

I apologize for some advertising.

Kind regards
