Opinion mining, sentiment analysis

IA161 Advanced NLP Course?, Course Guarantee: Aleš Horák

State of the Art

Sentiment analysis can be seen as a text categorization task (i.e. is the writer's opinion on a discussed topic X or Y?). It consists of detection of the topic (which can be easy in focused reviews) and detection of the sentiment (which is generally difficult). Opinions are sometimes expressed in a very subtle manner (e.g. the sentence How could anyone sit through this movie? contains no negative word) [3]. The sentiments are usually simply classified by their polarity (positive, negative) but they can be recognized more in depth (e.g. strongly negative). Recognized opinions are also subject to summarization (e.g. how many people like this new iPhone design?).

Practical Session

Technical Requirements

Sentiment Analysis

In this workshop, we try two methods for opinion mining. We use the Liu's Opinion Lexion. For Czech SA, we use the automatically translated version. Next, we try to compensate drawbacks of the lexicon by computing word vectors in a simple way.

Requirements: python 3, jupyter notebook, modules NLTK, scipy, numpy, pandas, sklearn

Files: cestina20.csv, cestina20_annotation.csv, urban_dictionary.csv

Word_Vectors_and_Sentiment.ipynb, negative-words-en.txt, negative-words-cs.txt, positive-words-en.txt, positive-words-cs.txt

  1. Create <YOUR_FILE>, a text file named ia161-UCO-01.txt where UCO is your university ID.
  2. Enter the name of the dataset you were working on.
  3. Do tasks marked in the python notebook as TASK X. You don't have to do optional tasks.

Upload <YOUR_FILE>

Do not forget to upload your resulting file to the homework vault (odevzdávárna)?.
