  • Publication number: 20080249764
    Abstract: A sentiment classifier is described. In one implementation, a system applies both full text and complex feature analyses to sentences of a product review. Each analysis is weighted prior to linear combination into a final sentiment prediction. A full text model and a complex features model can be trained separately offline to support online full text analysis and complex features analysis. Complex features include opinion indicators, negation patterns, sentiment-specific sections of the product review, user ratings, sequence of text chunks, and sentence types and lengths. A Conditional Random Field (CRF) framework provides enhanced sentiment classification for each segment of a complex sentence to enhance sentiment prediction.
