TASCTopic-Adaptive Sentiment Classification On Dynamic Tweets

This document presents a new semi-supervised learning model called TASC (Topic-Adaptive Sentiment Classification) for classifying the sentiment of tweets. TASC starts with a classifier trained on labeled tweets from multiple topics and then adapts the classifier to unlabeled tweets by incorporating topic-related sentiment features. It uses co-training to extract text-based and non-text based features from two different views. The TASC algorithm iteratively selects unlabeled tweets and updates the topic-adaptive features to improve classification performance. A version called TASC-t further adapts the model over time for dynamic sentiment analysis of tweets. Experimental results show TASC outperforms other supervised and ensemble classifiers on multiple Twitter topics.

TASC:Topic-Adaptive Sentiment Classification on Dynamic Tweets

Abstract:
Sentiment classification is a topic-sensitive task, i.e., a classifier trained from one
topic will perform worse on another. This is especially a problem for the tweets
sentiment analysis. Since the topics in Twitter are very diverse, it is impossible to
train a universal classifier for all topics. Moreover, compared to product review,
Twitter lacks data labeling and a rating mechanism to acquire sentiment labels. The
extremely sparse text of tweets also brings down the performance of a sentiment
classifier. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised topic-adaptive sentiment
classification (TASC) model, which starts with a classifier built on common features
and mixed labeled data from various topics. It minimizes the hinge loss to adapt to
unlabeled data and features including topic-related sentiment words, authors'
sentiments and sentiment connections derived from“@” mentions of tweets, named
as topic-adaptive features. Text and non-text features are extracted and naturally
split into two views for co-training. The TASC learning algorithm updates topic-
adaptive features based on the collaborative selection of unlabeled data, which in
turn helps to select more reliable tweets to boost the performance. We also design
the adapting model along a timeline (TASC-t) for dynamic tweets. An experiment on
6 topics from published tweet corpuses demonstrates that TASC outperforms other
well-known supervised and ensemble classifiers. It also beats those semi-supervised
learning methods without feature adaption. Meanwhile, TASC-t can also achieve
impressive accuracy and F-score. Finally, with timeline visualization of “river” graph,
people can intuitively grasp the ups and downs of sentiments' evolvement, and the
intensity by color gradation.
