Contributions to sentiment analysis in user opinions applying artificial intelligence techniques and algorithms
Keywords:
opinion mining, sentiment analysis, supervised text classification, unsupervised text classificationAbstract
Introduction: Opinion mining is of great interest and usefulness to society and important sectors of the economy. Opinion texts are complex data where complex semantic and syntactic relationships occur due to language, which imply a challenge to consider from the computational point of view for decision-making.
Objectives: To increase the effectiveness of artificial neural training in text classification. To develop new methods that combine linguistic resources and neural models of language for polarity detection and sentiment analysis.
Methods: They are proposed a set of methods for sentiment classification (positive or negative polarity) in user opinions with unsupervised and supervised approaches. Additionally, it is introduced a new hybrid method for emotion detection in user feedback with semantic feature selection approach.
Result: We evaluated the methods on different databases for opinion analysis. The data come from news websites and their comments, British Broadcasting Corporation public databases, video comments from the Youtube platform and those proposed by SemeEval. We perform a polarity detection study on TripAdvisor comments based on the most representative places of Mexican and Cuban tourism.
Conclusions: The methods developed represent contributions that yield promising results in the state of the art for opinion analysis, being very competitive and superior in certain scenarios.Downloads
