Inducing Domain-specific Noun Polarity Guided by Domain-independent Polarity Preferences of Adjectives

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss how domainspecific noun polarity lexicons can be induced. We focus on the generation of good candidates and compare two machine learning scenarios in order to establish an approach that produces high precision. Candidates are generated on the basis of polarity preferences of adjectives derived from a large domain-independent corpus. The polarity preference of a word, here an adjective, reflects the distribution of positive, negative and neutral arguments the word takes (here: its nominal head). Given a noun modified by some adjectives, a vote among the polarity preferences of these adjectives establishes a good indicator of the polarity of the noun. In our experiments with five domains, we achieved f-measure of 59% up to 88% on the basis of two machine learning approaches carried out on top of the preference votes.

A Classification of Adjectives for Polarity Lexicons Enhancement
Subjective language detection is one of the most important challenges in Sentiment Analysis. Because of the weight and frequency in opinionated texts, adjectives are considered a key piece in the opinion extraction process. These subjective units are more and more frequently collected in polarity lexicons in which they appear annotated with their prior polarity. However, at the moment, any pola...

Automatic creation of polarity lexicons is a crucial issue to be solved in order to reduce time and efforts in the first steps of Sentiment Analysis. In this paper we present a methodology based on linguistic cues that allows us to automatically discover, extract and label subjective adjectives that should be collected in a domain-based polarity lexicon. For this purpose, we designed a bootstra...

There are words that change its polarity from domain to domain. For example, the word deadly is of positive polarity in the cricket domain as in “Shane Warne is a ‘deadly’ leg spinner”. However, ‘I witnessed a deadly accident’ carries negative polarity and going by the sentiment in cricket domain will be misleading. In addition to this, there exist domainspecific words, which have the same pola...

In opinion mining, there has been only very little work investigating semi-supervised machine learning on document-level polarity classification. We show that semi-supervised learning performs significantly better than supervised learning when only few labeled data are available. Semi-supervised polarity classifiers rely on a predictive feature set. (Semi-)Manually built polarity lexicons are o...
