N2 - The task of extracting opinions/evaluations related to a given topic from a large number of documents such as Web documents is crucial for developing an automatic evaluation finding system, which can handle a wide variety of topics as input. In this paper, we discuss the topic relatedness of extracted evaluation through analysis of a corpus we developed. We suggest here that the semantic relationship between the target of each extracted evaluation and a given topic helps in judging topic relatedness. In addition, we point out other factors that are beyond the analysis of topic-target relations for judging the topic relatedness of evaluation.
