This paper presents an NLP-based approach to extracting preferences from negotiation dialogues. We propose a new annotation scheme to study how preferences are linguistically expressed on two different corpus genres. We then automatically extract preferences in two steps: first, we extract the set of outcomes; then, we identify how these outcomes are ordered. We finally assess the reliability of our method on each corpus genre.
