For a property p, we define N + (p) and N -(p) as We assign pos/neg valence scores to each property p by interpolating from reference values to their neighbors in N. Unlike that of Takamura et al.
(2005), the approach is non-iterative and involves no feedback between the nodes of N, and thus, no inter-dependence between adjacent affect scores: (3) pos(p) = |N If a term S denotes a stereotypical idea and is described via a set of typical properties and behaviors typical(S) in the lexicon, then: (5) and (6) calculate the mean affect of the properties and behaviors of S, as represented via typical(S).
