Automatic Committed Belief Tagging

We go beyond simple propositional meaning extraction and present experiments in determining which propositions in text the author believes. We show that deep syntactic parsing helps for this task. Our best feature combination achieves an Fmeasure of 64%, a relative reduction in Fmeasure error of 21% over not using syntactic features.
