• Title: Detecting Domain Polarity-Changes of Words in a Sentiment Lexicon
• Authors: Shuai Wang, Guangyi Lv, Sahisnu Mazumder, Bing Liu
• Abstract summary: Many sentiment words are domain dependent. That is, they may be positive in some domains but negative in some others. We propose a graph-based technique to tackle this problem. Experimental results show its effectiveness on multiple real-world datasets.

• Abstract: Sentiment lexicons are instrumental for sentiment analysis. One can use a set of sentiment words provided in a sentiment lexicon and a lexicon-based classifier to perform sentiment classification. One major issue with this approach is that many sentiment words are domain dependent. That is, they may be positive in some domains but negative in some others. We refer to this problem as domain polarity-changes of words. Detecting such words and correcting their sentiment for an application domain is very important. In this paper, we propose a graph-based technique to tackle this problem. Experimental results show its effectiveness on multiple real-world datasets.

  In this paper we compute sentiment for more than 150,000 English language texts drawn from 4 domains. We model differences in sentiment scores between approaches for documents in each domain using a regression. Our findings are that the importance of a word depends on the domain and there are no standout lexical entries which systematically cause differences in sentiment scores.

Results indicate that the hyperplane-based approach can reduce the dimensionality of the corpus by 90% and outperforms mutual information.

  We operationalise the lexical ambiguity of a word as the entropy of meanings it can take. We find significant correlations between our estimate of ambiguity and the number of synonyms a word has in WordNet. This suggests that, in the presence of ambiguity, speakers compensate by making contexts more informative.
