Abstract
We propose models for semantic orientations of phrases as well as classification methods based on the models. Although each phrase consists of multiple words, the semantic orientation of the phrase is not a mere sum of the orientations of the component words. Some words can invert the orientation. In order to capture the property of such phrases, we introduce latent variables into the models. Through experiments, we show that the proposed latent variable models work well in the classification of semantic orientations of phrases and achieved nearly 82% classification accuracy.

This work considers the problem of classifying documents not by topic, but by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a review is positive or negative, and concludes by examining factors that make the sentiment classification problem more challenging.

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.

This paper proposes to make use of a temperature controlled version of the Expectation Maximization algorithm for model fitting, which has shown excellent performance in practice, and results in a more principled approach with a solid foundation in statistical inference.
