Enhancing General Sentiment Lexicons for Domain-Specific Use (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Lexicon based methods for sentiment analysis rely on high quality polarity lexicons. |
| Approach: | They evaluate SentProp framework for inducing domain-specific polarities from word embeddings and use it to enhance a general-purpose lexicon for use in the political domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework performs worse than the original lexicon in an out-domain task, showing that the words added and the polarity shifts applied are domain-specific and do not translate well to an out domain setting. |
