Sentiment Relevance

چکیده
A number of different notions, including subjectivity, have been proposed for distinguishing parts of documents that convey sentiment from those that do not. We propose a new concept, sentiment relevance, to make this distinction and argue that it better reflects the requirements of sentiment analysis systems. We demonstrate experimentally that sentiment relevance and subjectivity are related, but different. Since no large amount of labeled training data for our new notion of sentiment relevance is available, we investigate two semi-supervised methods for creating sentiment relevance classifiers: a distant supervision approach that leverages structured information about the domain of the reviews; and transfer learning on feature representations based on lexical taxonomies that enables knowledge transfer. We show that both methods learn sentiment relevance classifiers that perform well.

Sentiment Retrieval using Generative Models
Ranking documents or sentences according to both topic and sentiment relevance should serve a critical function in helping users when topics and sentiment polarities of the targeted text are not explicitly given, as is often the case on the web. In this paper, we propose several sentiment information retrieval models in the framework of probabilistic language models, assuming that a user both i...
متن کاملEntities' Sentiment Relevance
Sentiment relevance detection problems occur when there is a sentiment expression in a text, and there is the question of whether or not the expression is related to a given entity or, more generally, to a given situation. The paper discusses variants of the problem, and shows that it is distinct from other somewhat similar problems occurring in the field of sentiment analysis and opinion minin...
متن کاملDifferent Aggregation Strategies for Generically Contextualized Sentiment Lexicons
Sentiment detection has gained relevance in the last years due to the vast amount of publicly available opinion in the form of Web forums or blogs. Yet, it still suffers from the ambiguity of language, lowering the efficacy and accuracy of sentiment detection systems. Thus, it is important to also invoke context information to refine the initial values of sentiment terms. Moreover, domain-indep...
متن کاملSupervised and semi-supervised statistical models for word-based sentiment analysis
Ever since its inception, sentiment analysis has relied heavily on methods that use words as their basic unit. Even today, such methods deliver top performance. This way of representing data for sentiment analysis is known as the clue model. It offers practical advantages over more sophisticated approaches: It is easy to implement and statistical models can be trained efficiently even on large ...
متن کاملAutomatically Labelling Sentiment-Bearing Topics with Descriptive Sentence Labels
In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective approach for automatically labelling sentiment-bearing topics with descriptive sentence labels. Specifically, our approach consists of two components: (i) a mechanism which can automatically learn the relevance to sentimentbearing topics of the underlying sentences in a corpus; and (ii) a sentence ranking algorithm for label selection that jointl...
