Building a Twitter opinion lexicon from automatically-annotated tweets

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a supervised model for expanding an opinion lexicon for Twitter.

• We combine automatically annotated tweets with existing hand-made opinion lexicons.

• We use POS tags and associations between words and sentiment as word-level features.

• Expanded words are mapped to a positive, negative, and neutral distribution.

• We outperform the performance obtained by using PMI semantic orientation alone.
