Polarity Classification of Blog TREC 2008 Data with a Geodesic Kernel

In this paper we describe the TNO approach to large-scale polarity classification of the Blog TREC 2008 dataset. Our participation consists of the submission of the 5 baseline runs provided by NIST, for which we applied a multinomial kernel machine operating on character n-gram representations.1
