Cross-domain opinion word extraction model

In this paper we consider a new approach for domain-specific opinion word extraction in Russian. We propose a set of statistical features and algorithm combination that can discriminate opinion words in a particular domain. The extraction model is trained in a movie domain and then applied to four other domains. We evaluate the quality of obtained sentiment lexicons intrinsically. Finally, our method is adapted to a movie domain in English and demonstrates comparable results

Unsupervised and knowledge-poor approaches to sentiment analysis

Sentiment analysis focuses upon automatic classiffication of a document's sentiment (and more generally extraction of opinion from text). Ways of expressing sentiment have been shown to be dependent on what a document is about (domain-dependency). This complicates supervised methods for sentiment analysis which rely on extensive use of training data or linguistic resources that are usually either domain-specific or generic. Both kinds of resources prevent classiffiers from performing well across a range of domains, as this requires appropriate in-domain (domain-specific) data. This thesis presents a novel unsupervised, knowledge-poor approach to sentiment analysis aimed at creating a domain-independent and multilingual sentiment analysis system. The approach extracts domain-specific resources from documents that are to be processed, and uses them for sentiment analysis. This approach does not require any training corpora, large sets of rules or generic sentiment lexicons, which makes it domain- and languageindependent but at the same time able to utilise domain- and language-specific information. The thesis describes and tests the approach, which is applied to diffeerent data, including customer reviews of various types of products, reviews of films and books, and news items; and to four languages: Chinese, English, Russian and Japanese. The approach is applied not only to binary sentiment classiffication, but also to three-way sentiment classiffication (positive, negative and neutral), subjectivity classifiation of documents and sentences, and to the extraction of opinion holders and opinion targets. Experimental results suggest that the approach is often a viable alternative to supervised systems, especially when applied to large document collections

Affective computing for smart operations: a survey and comparative analysis of the available tools, libraries and web services

In this paper, we make a deep search of the available tools in the market, at the current state of the art of Sentiment Analysis. Our aim is to optimize the human response in Datacenter Operations, using a combination of research tools, that allow us to decrease human error in general operations, managing Complex Infrastructures. The use of Sentiment Analysis tools is the first step for extending our capabilities for optimizing the human interface. Using different data collections from a variety of data sources, our research provides a very interesting outcome. In our final testing, we have found that the three main commercial platforms (IBM Watson, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure) get the same accuracy (89-90%). for the different datasets tested, based on Artificial Neural Network and Deep Learning techniques. The other stand-alone Applications or APIs, like Vader or MeaninCloud, get a similar accuracy level in some of the datasets, using a different approach, semantic Networks, such as Concepnet1, but the model can easily be optimized above 90% of accuracy, just adjusting some parameter of the semantic model. This paper points to future directions for optimizing DataCenter Operations Management and decreasing human error in complex environments

Constructing aspect-based sentiment lexicons with topic modeling

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017.We study topic models designed to be used for sentiment analysis, i.e., models that extract certain topics (aspects) from a corpus of documents and mine sentiment-related labels related to individual aspects. For both direct applications in sentiment analysis and other uses, it is desirable to have a good lexicon of sentiment words, preferably related to different aspects in the words. We have previously developed a modification for several popular sentiment-related LDA extensions that trains prior hyperparameters β for specific words. We continue this work and show how this approach leads to new aspect-specific lexicons of sentiment words based on a small set of “seed” sentiment words; the lexicons are useful by themselves and lead to improved sentiment classification
