 This repository contains Java and Perl code we used to perform text classification using the WEKA toolkit on the Munich Alcohol Language Corpus (see http://www.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/Bas/BasALCeng.html for details).
 It contains the code we used to achieve our research results, that will be published soon on 2013 Workshop on Emotion and Computing, Konstanz, Germany.
