In this paper, we present an information extraction (IE) strategy for handling subjective information from unstructured text. The presented methodology is general: it can be useful in many real-life applications that could potentially benefit from an automatic IE system that makes human-like decisions. We test our methodology in the sphere of company news evaluation with respect to the potential effect of the news on the company’s stock prices. The described general framework comprises four sequential processing steps: part-of-speech tagging, syntactic parsing, relation generation, and criteria evaluation. The first two steps perform generic NLP tasks, while the last two phases are application-specific and require a thorough understanding of the application domain. We describe each stage and illustrate the flow of the modus operandi. We keep up with the company news evaluation example throughout the paper. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the envisaged problem, results cannot be categorically justified. However, comparing the system’s evaluation of company news to our own, the results were very encouraging.
