Abstract

This work proposes a semi-sentiment classification method by exploiting co-occurrence opinion words. Our method is based on the observation that opinion words with similar sentiment have high possibility to co-occur with each other. We show co-occurrence opinion words are helpful for improving sentiment classification accuracy. We employ the co-training framework to conduct semi-supervised sentiment classification. Experimental results show that our proposed method has better performance than the Self-learning SVM method.
