Domain-specific variation of sentiment expressions

In this paper, we present work in progress towards a methodology for the analysis of domain-specific sentiment. In our case, we consider highly specialized scientific disci- plines at the boundaries of computer sci- ence and selected other disciplines (e.g., computational linguistics, bioinformatics). Our approach is corpus-based and com- prises the detection, extraction and annota- tion of features related to sentiment expres- sions, focusing on opinion targets.
