Abstract

Analysis on microblog sentiment is very important for microblog monitoring and guidance of public opinion. According to the problem that precision of Chinese microblog sentiment analysis was low, this paper proposed a model for analysis on Chinese microblog sentiment based on syntax parsing and the support vector machine algorithm. Firstly, this paper built a fundamental dictionary of emotion based on existing emotional words resources, and expanded the dictionary by computing similarity of words. Then, it computed emotional values of microblogs by syntax parsing and judged their emotional tendencies. Finally, it selected a certain percentage of positive and negative emotional microblogs as a training set. It utilized the support vector machine algorithm to classify microblogs that didn’t belong to the training set and got all emotional tendencies of microblogs. Experimental results showed that the model proposed by this paper could achieve 77.3% precision. So the model is effective.
