Automatically Annotating Textual Resources with Human Intentions
Hypertext 2009, 20th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (HT'09)
Annotations represent an increasingly popular means for
organizing, categorizing and finding resources on the “social”
web. Yet, only a small portion of the total resources available on
the web are annotated. In this paper, we describe a prototype -
iTAG - for automatically annotating textual resources with
human intent, a novel dimension of tagging. We investigate the
extent to which the automatic analysis of human intentions in
textual resources is feasible. To address this question, we
present selected evidence from a study aiming to automatically
annotate intent in a simplified setting, that is transcripts of
speeches given by US presidential candidates in 2008
