To determine this sentiment polarity, we propose a novel machine-learning method that applies text-categorization techniques to just the subjective portions of the document. Extracting these portions can be implemented using efficient techniques for finding minimum cuts in graphs; this greatly facilitates incorporation of cross-sentence contextual constraints.}, location = {Barcelona, Spain}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3115/1218955.1218990}, keywords = {analysis sentiment } }
