ABSTRACT
A corpus is a collection of documents. An annotated corpus consists of documents or entities annotated with some task related labels such as part of speech tags, sentiment etc. While it is customary to annotate a document for a specific task, it is also possible to annotate it for multiple tasks, resulting in a multifaceted annotation scheme. These annotations can be organized in a hierarchical fashion, if such a scheme naturally occurred in the data, resulting in a hierarchical text categorization problem. We developed a multifaceted, multilingual corpus for hierarchical sentiment analysis. The different facets include hierarchical nominal sentiment labels, a numerical sentiment score, language, and the dialect. Our corpus consists of 191K reviews of hotels in Saudi Arabia. The reviews are divided into eleven different categories. Within each category, the reviews are further divided into two positive and negative categories. The corpus contains 1.8 million tokens. Reviews are mostly written in Arabic and English but there are instances of other languages too.
