Many organizations and individuals are faced daily with the challenge of managing large corpora of text data. One important application is evaluative text, i.e. any document expressing an evaluation of an entity as either positive or negative. Evaluative information is strategic to decision making. For instance, many websites collect large quantities of online customer reviews of consumer electronics. Although this literature can be of great strategic value to product designers, planners and manufacturers, the effective processing of this information remains a complex and time-consuming task. As another example, before traveling abroad, many users browse through travel-logs and online user reviews on hotels before they make reservations. However, there are so many evaluation web sites that users are awash in reviews.
