Affect Sensing Using Linguistic, Semantic and Cognitive Cues in Multi-threaded Improvisational Dialogue
<22>Though not highlighted in the paper's abstract, metaphor detection is one main method used in the affect sensing. The paper is on work leading to the invitation to Barnden to talk on metaphor interpretation at the metaphor workshop at NAACL 2013, metaphor being increasingly recognized as crucial in practical NLP. (NAACL is the North American Chapter of the Association of Computational Linguistics, hence one of the foremost US-centred venues for NLP work.) It also led to original journal articles by this output's first author Li Zhang, published for example in ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing.
