Automatic Seed Word Selection for Unsupervised Sentiment Classification of Chinese Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe and evaluate a new method of automatic seed word selection for unsupervised sentiment classification of product reviews in Chinese. The whole method is unsupervised and does not require any annotated training data; it only requires information about commonly occurring negations and adverbials. Unsupervised techniques are promising for this task since they avoid problems of domain-dependency typically associated with supervised methods. The results obtained are close to those of supervised classifiers and sometimes better, up to an F1 of 92%.

Unsupervised Classification of Sentiment and Objectivity in Chinese Text
We address the problem of sentiment and objectivity classification of product reviews in Chinese. Our approach is distinctive in that it treats both positive / negative sentiment and subjectivity / objectivity not as distinct classes but rather as a continuum; we argue that this is desirable from the perspective of would-be customers who read the reviews. We use novel unsupervised techniques, i...
متن کاملNew Word Detection for Sentiment Analysis
Automatic extraction of new words is an indispensable precursor to many NLP tasks such as Chinese word segmentation, named entity extraction, and sentiment analysis. This paper aims at extracting new sentiment words from large-scale user-generated content. We propose a fully unsupervised, purely data-driven framework for this purpose. We design statistical measures respectively to quantify the ...
متن کاملWEMOTE - Word Embedding based Minority Oversampling Technique for Imbalanced Emotion and Sentiment Classification
Imbalanced training data always puzzles the supervised learning based emotion and sentiment classification. Several existing research showed that data sparseness and small disjuncts are the two major factors affecting the classification. Target to these two problems, this paper presents a word embedding based oversampling method. Firstly, a large-scale text corpus is used to train a continuous ...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of a Chinese Electronic Dictionary
In this paper, an unsupervised approach for constructing a large-scale Chinese electronic dictionary is surveyed. The main purpose is to enable cheap and quick acquisition of a large-scale dictionary from a large untagged text corpus with the aid of the information in a small tagged seed corpus. The basic model is based on a Viterbi reestimation technique. During the dictionary construction pro...
متن کاملSupervised and unsupervised Web-based language model domain adaptation
Domain language model adaptation consists in re-estimating probabilities of a baseline LM in order to better match the specifics of a given broad topic of interest. To do so, a common strategy is to retrieve adaptation texts from the Web based on a given domain-representative seed text. In this paper, we study how the selection of this seed text influences the adaptation process and the perform...
