Assignments

Assignment 2: Annotation of dialog and reviews

Each group will be assigned an annotation effort from the set below. Read the paper and look through the guidelines. We’ll provide you some data to look at before Friday’s class. Your goal in class will be to try to annotate that data given the guidelines and create a presentation covering the goal of the annotation, a description and assessment of the guidelines (including your experience trying to follow them), an a quick summary of the evaluation results and what kinds of machine learning algorithms were tried.

Presentations on Tuesday, March 7
