[Encouragement Talk] A Novel Approach for Multi-Class Sentiment Analysis in Twitter
Mondher Bouazizi, Tomoaki Ohtsuki (Keio Univ.) ASN2016-3
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Many works were conducted on the automatic sentiment analysis and opinion mining. However, most of these works were oriented towards the classification of texts into positive and negative. In this report, we propose a pattern-based approach that goes deeper in the classification of texts collected from Twitter (i.e., tweets) and classifies the tweets into 7 different classes. Experiments show that our approach reaches an accuracy of classification equal to 56.9% and a precision level of sentimental tweets (other than neutral and sarcastic) equal to 72.6%. Nevertheless, the approach proves to be very accurate in binary classification (i.e., classification into ?positive? and ?negative?) and ternary classification (i.e., classification into ?positive?, ?negative? and ?neutral?): in the former case, we reach an accuracy of 87.5% for the same dataset used after removing neutral tweets, and in the latter case, we reached an accuracy of classification of 83.0%.
