Towards Cross-Language Sentiment Analysis through Universal Star Ratings

چکیده
The abundance of sentiment-carrying user-generated content renders automated cross-language information monitoring tools crucial for today’s businesses. In order to facilitate cross-language sentiment analysis, we propose to compare the sentiment conveyed by unstructured text across languages through universal star ratings for intended sentiment. We demonstrate that the way natural language reveals people’s intended sentiment differs across languages. The results of our experiments with respect to modeling this relation for both Dutch and English by means of a monotone increasing step function mainly suggest that language-specific sentiment scores can separate universal classes of intended sentiment from one another to a

Lexicon-based sentiment analysis by mapping conveyed sentiment to intended sentiment
As consumers nowadays generate increasingly more content describing their experiences with, e.g., products and brands in various languages, information systems monitoring a universal, languageindependent measure of people’s intended sentiment are crucial for today’s businesses. In order to facilitate sentiment analysis of user-generated content, we propose to map sentiment conveyed by unstructu...
متن کاملThe Impact of Sentiment Analysis Output on Decision Outcomes: An Empirical Evaluation
User-generated online content serves as a source of productand service-related information that reduces the uncertainty in consumer decision making, yet the abundance of such content makes it prohibitively costly to use all relevant information. Dealing with this (big data) problem requires a consumer to decide what subset of information to focus on. Peer-generated star ratings are excellent to...
متن کاملTowards a Universal Sentiment Classifier in Multiple languages
Existing sentiment classifiers usually work for only one specific language, and different classification models are used in different languages. In this paper we aim to build a universal sentiment classifier with a single classification model in multiple different languages. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to learn multilingual sentiment-aware word embeddings simultaneously based only...
متن کاملPredicting Yelp Star Ratings Based on Text Analysis of User Reviews
We perform sentiment analysis based on Yelp user reviews. We treat a Yelp star rating of 4 or 5 as a positive sentiment and a rating of 1, 2 or 3 as a negative one. Various language models are used to obtain feature vectors and we implement three different algorithms, namely perceptron learning algorithm, Naive Bayes and SVM to predict sentiment. The performances of these three algorithms on th...
متن کاملSentiment Analysis of Reviews: Should we analyze writer intentions or reader perceptions?
Many sentiment-analysis methods for the classification of reviews use training and test-data based on star ratings provided by reviewers. However, when reading reviews it appears that the reviewers’ ratings do not always give an accurate measure of the sentiment of the review. We performed an annotation study which showed that reader perceptions can also be expressed in ratings in a reliable wa...
