Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | lexicon-based text analysis methods such as LIWC have been criticized by computational linguists for their lack of adaptability, but they have not been systematically compared with either human evaluations or machine learning approaches. |
| Approach: | They used a corpus of online dating profile texts to compare LIWC, machine learning, and a human baseline to assess their effectiveness on a relationship goal classification task. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods were compared with a corpus of online dating profile texts and a human baseline. |
