Automatic construction of domain-specific sentiment lexicon for unsupervised domain adaptation and sentiment classification

作者:

Highlights:

• An unsupervised approach for sentiment analysis in unknown domains is proposed.

• The approach generates a domain-specific sentiment lexicon.

• Sentiment information from a domain is adapted using a Domain Independent Lexicon.

• The weights of the first layer of an MLP are set using the resulting polarities.

• The experiments on multi-domain datasets show the effectiveness of the approach.
