Abstract(in English) This paper discusses a prototype system of an affective blog analyzer (ABLANA), which analyzes emotional states and extracts emotional targets of people from blogs. ABLANA uses RSS sent by blog sites to collect blog articles and then estimates emotions and their targets from the articles by a pattern dictionary. The dictionary contains approximately 14,800 patterns which can analyze the emotional cause, state and responsive expression. In the experiments, blog articles were collected from three Japanese blog sites during six months, which contained approximately 100,000,000 sentences. As the result, blog articles were ordered by the written time by using RSS. The aroused term of interest and dissatisfaction were successfully clarified by using both the Z-score of the appearance of keyword and the probability of the co-occurrence of the triplet of emotion-target-term.
