They achieved an acceptable inter-rater agreement given the inherent subjective nature of the task. A first baseline, a fine-tuned BERT-based token classifier, achieved F1-scores of around 70\% . Our focus is on the difficult subclass of sentences comprising only non-polar words, but still with an (implicit) pro or con perspective of the writer.}<br> }
