Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for identifying hypocrisy in text. A computer system creates, from fragments of text, a syntactic tree that represents syntactic relationships between words in the fragments. The system identifies, in the syntactic tree, a first entity and a second entity. The system further determines that the first entity is opposite to the second entity. The system further determines a first sentiment score for a first fragment comprising the first entity and a second sentiment score for a second fragment comprising the second entity. The system, responsive to determining that the first sentiment score and the second sentiment score indicate opposite emotions, identifies the text as comprising hypocrisy and providing the text to an external device.
