Remembering Janyce M. Wiebe, ACL Fellow
With sadness, the ACL exec announces the premature passing of one of our own, Janyce M. Wiebe, ACL Fellow 2015. Jan was a professor of Computer Science at the University of Pittsburgh, and a former director of the Pitt Intelligent Systems Program. She was a pioneer in the now burgeoning fields of sentiment, affect and subjectivity. Her PhD thesis (1990) -Recognizing Subjective Sentences: A Computational Investigation of Narrative Text- was an early computational investigation of subjectivity in NLP.
