Targeted sentiment analysis expands on document or sentence-level polarity classification by identifying the sentiment expressed towards specific entities in a span of text. The task is challenging due to the large variety of such entities and to the fact that not all entities are relevant to sentiment analysis. I will describe our work applying supervised and semi-supervised learning techniques to performing fine-grained sentiment analysis.
