Abstract
This paper describes our system created to detect stance in online discussions. The goal is to identify whether the author of a comment is in favor of the given target or against. We created an extended corpus of Czech news comments and evaluated a support vector machines classifier, a maximum entropy classifier, and a convolu- tional neural network.
