Sentiment analysis is the computational study of how opinions, attitudes, emotions, and perspectives are expressed in language, and has been the important task of natural language processing. Sentiment analysis is highly valuable for both research and practical applications. The focuses were put on the difficulties in the construction of sentiment classifiers which normally need tremendous labeled domain training data, and a novel unsupervised framework was proposed to make use of the Chinese idiom resources to develop a general sentiment classifier. Furthermore, the domain adaption of general sentiment classifier was improved by taking the general classifier as the base of a self-training procedure to get a domain self-training sentiment classifier. To validate the effect of the unsupervised framework, several experiments were carried out on publicly available Chinese online reviews dataset. The experiments show that the proposed framework is effective and achieves encouraging results. Specifically, the general classifier outperforms two baselines(a Na?ve 50% baseline and a cross-domain classifier), and the bootstrapping self-training classifier approximates the upper bound domain-specific classifier with the lowest accuracy of 81.5%, but the performance is more stable and the framework needs no labeled training dataset.
全词消歧(All-Words Word Sense Disambiguation)可以看作一个序列标注问题,该文提出了两种基于序列标注的全词消歧方法,它们分别基于隐马尔可夫模型(Hidden Markov Model,HMM)和最大熵马尔可夫模型(Maximum Entropy Markov Model,MEMM)。首先,我们用HMM对全词消歧进行建模。然后,针对HMM只能利用词形观察值的缺点,我们将上述HMM模型推广为MEMM模型,将大量上下文特征集成到模型中。对于全词消歧这类超大状态问题,在HMM和MEMM模型中均存在数据稀疏和时间复杂度过高的问题,我们通过柱状搜索Viterbi算法和平滑策略来解决。最后,我们在Senseval-2和Senseval-3的数据集上进行了评测,该文提出的MEMM方法的F1值为0.654,超过了该评测上所有的基于序列标注的方法。
