Towards automatic identification of linguistic politeness in Hindi texts

2021-11-30 · Ritesh Kumar

In this paper I present a classifier for automatic identification of linguistic politeness in Hindi texts. I have used the manually annotated corpus of over 25,000 blog comments to train an SVM. Making use of the discursive and interactional approaches to politeness the paper gives an exposition of the normative, conventionalised politeness structures of Hindi. It is seen that using these manually recognised structures as features in training the SVM significantly improves the performance of the classifier on the test set. The trained system gives a significantly high accuracy of over 77% which is within 2% of human accuracy.
