Affect analysis of text using fuzzy semantic typing
Abstract
We propose a novel, convenient fusion of natural language processing and fuzzy logic techniques for analyzing the affect content in free text. Our main goals are fast analysis and visualization of affect content for decision making. The main linguistic resource for fuzzy semantic typing is the fuzzy-affect lexicon, from which other important resources, the fuzzy thesaurus and affect category groups, are generated. Free text is tagged with affect categories from the lexicon and the affect categories' centralities and intensities are combined using techniques from fuzzy logic to produce affect sets: fuzzy sets representing the affect quality of a document. We show different aspects of affect analysis using news content and movie reviews. Our experiments show a good correspondence between affect sets and human judgments of affect content. We ascribe this to the representation of ambiguity in our fuzzy affect lexicon and the ability of fuzzy logic to deal successfully with the ambiguity of words in a natural language.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
