Opinion mining using ensemble text hidden Markov models for text classification

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposed a new sentiment analysis method, based on text-based hidden Markov models, that uses word orders without the need of sentiment lexicons.

• Proposed an ensemble of text-based hidden Markov models using boosting and clusters of words produced by latent semantic analysis.

• Showed the method has potential to classify implicit opinions by the proposed ensemble method.

• Showed better performance in comparison to several previous algorithms in several datasets.

• Applied it to a real-life dataset to classify paper titles.
