The development method of SentiWordNet is an adaptation of PN-polarity [Esuli and Sebastiani, 2005] and SO-polarity [Esuli and Sebastiani, 2006] identification methods. The proposed method uses a set of ternary classifiers, capable of deciding whether a synset is Positive, Negative or Objective. Each ternary classifier differs from other in two perspectives, first the training data used, secondly, the learner. Thus each ternary classifier produces different classification results for a synset. The final opinion score is calculated using the normalization of scores from all the classifiers.

Summary

This paper proposes a segment level sequence labeling technique using semi-CRFs. The main focus of the paper is to identify two types of opinion expressions in the corpus. First, direct subjective expressions. Secondly, direct expressive subjective expressions.

Background

The previous work of sequence tagging in natural language processing has been limited to token level. T

Methodology

Study Plan

This paper uses semi-CRF for the labeling task. So the user should first read about semi-CRF.
