Research direction

Start by inspecting pattern/text/nl/nl-sentiment.xml, including the entry for “verloren,” and search the sentiment files for subjectivity values below 0.0. Compare the Dutch data with the related French issue #125; done means correcting all out-of-range subjectivity values, including any found in other language files.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The dutch sentiment file (see nl-sentiment.xml) has words with negative subjectivity, which does not respect the boundary values for subjectivity: [0.0, 1.0]. I did not check for how many cases, but the word "verloren" is an example.

Sentiment files for other languages may have negative subjectivity as well. Since this problem is similar to #125, but for Dutch in stead of French. This should be checked and fixed.
