AMI&ERIC: How to Learn with Naive Bayes and Prior Knowledge: an Application to Sentiment Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe our system that participated in SemEval-2013, Task 2.B (sentiment analysis in Twitter). Our approach consists of adapting Naive Bayes probabilities in order to take into account prior knowledge (represented in the form of a sentiment lexicon). We propose two different methods to efficiently incorporate prior knowledge. We show that our approach outperforms the classical Naive Bayes method and shows competitive results with SVM while having less computational complexity.

Exploring English Lexicon Knowledge for Chinese Sentiment Analysis
This paper presents a weakly-supervised method for Chinese sentiment analysis by incorporating lexical prior knowledge obtained from English sentiment lexicons through machine translation. A mechanism is introduced to incorporate the prior information about polaritybearing words obtained from existing sentiment lexicons into latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) where sentiment labels are considere...
متن کاملIncorporating Background Knowledge into Text Categorization for Improved Sentiment Analysis
In many applications, we not only have training examples that enable supervised learning, but, we also have background knowledge about the task. Traditionally, supervised learning algorithms tend to focus only on learning from the training examples. However, ignoring the background knowledge, in lieu of training data, is sub-optimal. As an alternative in the realm of text classification, we pro...

Text mining can be applied to many fields. One of the application is using text mining in digital newspaper to do politic sentiment analysis. In this paper sentiment analysis is applied to get information from digital news articles about its positive or negative sentiment regarding particular politician. This paper suggests a simple model to analyze digital newspaper sentiment polarity using na...
متن کاملAdapting Naive Bayes to Domain Adaptation for Sentiment Analysis
In the community of sentiment analysis, supervised learning techniques have been shown to perform very well. When transferred to another domain, however, a supervised sentiment classifier often performs extremely bad. This is so-called domain-transfer problem. In this work, we attempt to attack this problem by making the maximum use of both the old-domain data and the unlabeled new-domain data....
متن کاملUoM: Using Explicit Semantic Analysis for Classifying Sentiments
In this paper, we describe our system submitted for the Sentiment Analysis task at SemEval 2013 (Task 2). We implemented a combination of Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA) with Naive Bayes classifier. ESA represents text as a high dimensional vector of explicitly defined topics, following the distributional semantic model. This approach is novel in the sense that ESA has not been used for Sentim...
