TL;DR
A method for automatically generating focused and accurate topic-specific subjectivity lexicons from a general purpose polarity lexicon that allow users to pin-point subjective on-topic information in a set of relevant documents is presented.
Abstract
We present a method for automatically generating focused and accurate topic-specific subjectivity lexicons from a gen-eral purpose polarity lexicon that allow users to pin-point subjective on-topic in-formation in a set of relevant documents. We motivate the need for such lexicons in the field of media analysis, describe a bootstrapping method for generating a topic-specific lexicon from a general pur-pose polarity lexicon, and evaluate the quality of the generated lexicons both manually and using a TREC Blog track test set for opinionated blog post retrieval. Although the generated lexicons can be an order of magnitude more selective than the general purpose lexicon, they maintain, or even improve, the performance of an opin-ion retrieval system. 1

Recognizing contextual polarity in phrase-level sentiment analysis

A new approach to phrase-level sentiment analysis is presented that first determines whether an expression is neutral or polar and then disambiguates the polarity of the polar expressions.
Extracting product features and opinions from reviews

Opine is introduced, an unsupervised information-extraction system which mines reviews in order to build a model of important product features, their evaluation by reviewers, and their relative quality across products.
Opinion observer

A novel framework for analyzing and comparing consumer opinions of competing products is proposed, and a new technique based on language pattern mining is proposed to extract product features from Pros and Cons in a particular type of reviews.
Determining the sentiment of opinions

Learning extraction patterns for subjective expressions

A bootstrapping process that learns linguistically rich extraction patterns for subjective (opinionated) expressions while maintaining high precision is presented.
A Markov random field model for term dependencies
849 Citations2005Donald Metzler, W. Bruce Croft
A novel approach is developed to train the model that directly maximizes the mean average precision rather than maximizing the likelihood of the training data, and significant improvements are possible by modeling dependencies, especially on the larger web collections.
Computational LinguisticsRecognizing Contextual Polarity: An Exploration of Features for Phrase-Level Sentiment Analysis
731 Citations2009Theresa Wilson, Janyce Wiebe +1 more
The goal of this work is to automatically distinguish between prior and contextual polarity, with a focus on understanding which features are important for this task, and it is shown that the presence of neutral instances greatly degrades the performance of features for distinguishing between positive and negative polarity.

Fully automatic lexicon expansion for domain-oriented sentiment analysis

This paper proposes an unsupervised lexicon building method for the detection of polar clauses, which convey positive or negative aspects in a specific domain, and its method is robust for corpora in diverse domains and for the size of the initial lexicon.
