摘要: Online debate forums provide a powerful communication platform for individual users to share information, exchange ideas and express opinions on variety of topics. Understanding people's in such is an important task as its results can be used many ways. It is, however, challenging because the informal language use dynamic nature online conversations. In this paper, we propose new method identifying participants' agreement or disagreement issue by exploiting information contained each posts. Our proposed first regards post local context, then aggregates posts estimate participant's overall position. We have explored sentiment, emotional durational features improve accuracy automatic classification. experimental shown that aggregating positions over yields better performance than non-aggregation baselines when users' global issue.
