基于情感词向量的微博情感分类

该文提出了一种基于情感词向量的情感分类方法。词向量采用连续实数域上的固定维数向量来表示词汇,能够表达词汇丰富的语义信息。词向量的学习方法,如word2vec,能从大规模语料中通过上下文信息挖掘出潜藏的词语间语义关联。本文在从语料中学习得到的蕴含语义信息的词向量基础上,对其进行情感调整,得到同时考虑语义和情感倾向的词向量。对于一篇输入文本,基于情感词向量建立文本的特征表示,采用机器学习的方法对文本进行情感分类。该方法与基于词、N-gram及原始word2vec词向量构建文本表示的方法相比,情感分类准确率更高、性能和稳定性更好。

A Sentiment Classification Method Based on Sentiment-Specific Word Embedding

We present a method for sentiment classification based on sentiment-specific word embedding (SSWE). Word embedding is the distributed vector representation of a word with fixed length in real topological space. Algorithms for learning word embedding, like word2vec, obtain this representation from large un-annotated corpus, without considering sentiment information. We make sentiment improvement for the initial word embedding and get the sentiment-specific word embedding that contains both syntactic and sentiment information.Then text representations are built based on sentiment-specific word embeddings. Sentiment polarities of texts are obtained through machine learning approaches. Experiments show that the presented algorithm performs better than sentiment classification method based on texts modeling by word, N-gram and word embeddings from word2vec.
