Abstract
Sentiment analysis in a multilingual world remains a challenging problem, because developing language-specific sentiment lexicons is an extremely resource-intensive process.
Introduction
Sentiment analysis of English texts has become a large and active research area, with many commercial applications, but the barrier of language limits the ability to assess the sentiment of most of the world’s population.
Introduction
0 New Sentiment Analysis Resources — We have generated sentiment lexicons for 136 major languages via graph propagation which are now publicly availablel.

Abstract
Finally, we show that, in both syntactic parsing and sentiment analysis , many broad linguistic trends can be captured via surface features.
Conclusion
Moreover, we show that our parser is adaptable to other tree-structured tasks such as sentiment analysis ; we outperform the recent system of Socher et al.
Introduction
(2013) demonstrates that sentiment analysis , which is usually approached as a flat classification task, can be viewed as tree-structured.
Sentiment Analysis
One example is sentiment analysis .
Sentiment Analysis
While approaches to sentiment analysis often simply classify the sentence monolithically, treating it as a bag of n-grams (Pang et al., 2002; Pang and Lee, 2005; Wang and Manning, 2012), the recent dataset of Socher et al.
Sentiment Analysis
One structural difference between sentiment analysis and syntactic parsing lies in where the relevant information is present in a span.

Abstract
We show that our structured regularizers consistently improve classification accuracies compared to standard regularizers that penalize features in isolation (such as lasso, ridge, and elastic net regularizers) on a range of datasets for various text prediction problems: topic classification, sentiment analysis , and forecasting.
Conclusion
We empirically showed that models regularized using our methods consistently outperformed standard regularizers that penalize features in isolation such as lasso, ridge, and elastic net on a range of datasets for various text prediction problems: topic classification, sentiment analysis , and forecasting.
Experiments
Sentiment analysis .
Experiments
One task in sentiment analysis is predicting the polarity of a piece of text, i.e., whether the author is favorably inclined toward a (usually known) subject of discussion or proposition (Pang and Lee, 2008).
Experiments
Sentiment analysis , even at the coarse level of polarity we consider here, can be confused by negation, stylistic use of irony, and other linguistic phenomena.
Introduction
For tasks like text classification, sentiment analysis , and text-driven forecasting, this is an open question, as cheap “bag-of-words” models often perform well.

Structured Regularizers for Text
In sentence level prediction tasks, such as sentence-level sentiment analysis , it is known that most constituents (especially those that correspond to shorter phrases) in a parse tree are uninformative (neutral sentiment).

Topics mentioned in this paper:
Yang, Bishan and Cardie, Claire
Approach
We develop a rich set of context-aware posterior constraints for sentence-level sentiment analysis by exploiting lexical and discourse knowledge.
Approach
In this work, we explore coreference in the context of sentence-level sentiment analysis .
Conclusion
While we focus on the sentence-level task, our approach can be easily extended to handle sentiment analysis at finer levels of granularity.
Experiments
This demonstrates that our modeling of discourse information is effective and that taking into account the discourse context is important for improving sentence-level sentiment analysis .

Abstract
This is problematic for sentiment analysis as they usually map words with similar syntactic context but opposite sentiment polarity, such as good and bad, to neighboring word vectors.
Introduction
It is meaningful for some tasks such as pos-tagging (Zheng et al., 2013) as the two words have similar usages and grammatical roles, but it becomes a disaster for sentiment analysis as they have the opposite sentiment polarity.
Introduction
In this paper, we propose learning sentiment-specific word embedding (SSWE) for sentiment analysis .

Background
Given a set of reviews, the tasks of sentiment analysis in ReNew are (l) splitting each review into segments, (2) associating each segment with a sentiment label (positive, neutral, negative), and (3) automatically generating a domain-specific sentiment lexicon.
Conclusions and Future Work
The leading lexical approaches to sentiment analysis from text are based on fixed lexicons that are painstakingly built by hand.
Conclusions and Future Work
In future work, we plan to apply ReNew to additional sentiment analysis problems such as review quality analysis and sentiment summarization.

Experiments
One of the challenging aspects of sentiment analysis of YouTube data is that the comments may express the sentiment not only towards the product shown in the video, but also the video itself, i.e., users may post positive comments to the video while being generally negative about the product and vice versa.
Experiments
Given that the main goal of sentiment analysis is to select sentiment-bearing comments and identify their polarity, distinguishing between of f —t opic and spam categories is not critical.
