Sentiment Analysis is new technology for automatically assessing the
opinions and feelings expressed in text. There has been a great deal
of development in recent years, with impressive reports of accuracy
from research labs, and a plethora of commercial offerings. However,
the Danish language has been largely ignored. This meeting brings
together a team of researchers based in Denmark, who have developed a
series of systems in an effort to duplicate or go beyond the current
state of the art in Sentiment Analysis, with a special focus on
Danish.
