NoReC: The Norwegian Review Corpus
This repository distributes the Norwegian Review Corpus (NoReC), created for the purpose of training and evaluating models for document-level sentiment analysis. More than 43,000 full-text reviews have been collected from major Norwegian news sources and cover a range of different domains, including literature, movies, video games, restaurants, music and theater, in addition to product reviews across a range of categories. Each review is labeled with a manually assigned score of 1–6, as provided by the rating of the original author. The accompanying paper by Velldal et al. at LREC 2018 describes the (initial release of the) data in more detail.
