Swiss-Chocolate: Sentiment Detection using Sparse SVMs and Part-Of-Speech n-Grams
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a classifier to predict the message-level sentiment of English microblog messages from Twitter. This paper describes the classifier submitted to the SemEval-2014 competition (Task 9B). Our approach was to build up on the system of the last year’s winning approach by NRC Canada 2013 (Mohammad et al., 2013), with some modifications and additions of features, and additional sentiment lexicons. Furthermore, we used a sparse (`1-regularized) SVM, instead of the more commonly used `2-regularization, resulting in a very sparse linear classifier.

Is Sentiment a Property of Synsets? Evaluating Resources for Sentiment Classification using Machine Learning
Existing approaches to classifying documents by sentiment include machine learning with features created from n-grams and part of speech. This paper explores a different approach and examines performance of one selected machine learning algorithm, Support Vector Machines, with features computed using existing lexical resources. Special attention has been paid to fine tuning of the algorithm reg...

This paper describes a system developed for a shared sentiment analysis task and its subtasks organized by SemEval-2017. A key feature of our system is the embedded ability to detect sarcasm in order to enhance the performance of sentiment classification. We first constructed an affect-cognition-sociolinguistics sarcasm features model and trained a SVM-based classifier for detecting sarcastic e...

We present our supervised sentiment classification system which competed in SemEval2016 Task 4: Sentiment Analysis in Twitter. Our system employs a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier trained using a number of features including n-grams, synset expansions, various sentiment scores, word clusters, and term centroids. Using weighted SVMs, to address the issue of class imbalance, our system ob...

This paper presents a new approach for finding the best ngrams that efficiently summarize a large set of reviews. The proposed unsupervised method uses a readability score and a representativeness score to select those n-grams that best convey the main opinions contained in the processed reviews. In order to further refine the selected n-grams, we use sentiment analysis and part of speech (POS)...
