Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for processing linguistic expressions (e.g., opinionated text documents). The linguistic expressions are processed by, firstly, detecting topics of interest discussed in the linguistic expressions. The sentiment, or sentiments, of an originator with respect to each of the topics detected in the linguistic expressions is then assessed. The originators are then grouped (or clustered) into one or more groups based on the similarities between the originators' respective sets of detected topics and corresponding sentiments. Semantic information is then associated with a given group. Finally, for a given member of a given group, a profile is created or updated. This profile comprises attributes that may be based on a degree of membership of the given member to the given group and the semantic information associated with the given group.
