Abstract

This paper presents the IALP 2016 shared task on Dimensional Sentiment Analysis for Chinese Words (DSAW) which seeks to identify a real-value sentiment score of Chinese words in the both valence and arousal dimensions. Valence represents the degree of pleasant and unpleasant (or positive and negative) feelings, and arousal represents the degree of excitement and calm. Of the 22 teams registered for this shared task for two-dimensional sentiment analysis, 16 submitted results. We expected that this evaluation campaign could produce more advanced dimensional sentiment analysis techniques, especially for Chinese affective computing. All data sets with gold standards and scoring script are made publicly available to researchers.
