Abstract:
We explore hedging in web forum conversations, which is interestingly different to hedging in academic articles, the main focus of recent automatic approaches to hedge detection. One of our main results is that forum posts using hedges are more likely to get high ratings of their usefulness. We also make a case for focusing annotation efforts in hedges that take the form of first-person epistemic phrases.
