Abstract- Sentence level sentiment analyses of tweets using twitter API Key Authentication to connect to the Twitter4J library and generating the twitter corpus on the key words specified. Extracting the sentences from the downloaded tweets and then segmenting the sentences by connecting to Stanford Core NLP Model to get the meaning of the word and assigning the score to the words and then attaching the Pos tags to each word. Lastly, extracting the opinion words and doing the semantic orientation of the sentences based on the polarity of the words in the sentence and then classifying the sentences as positive, negative or neutral.
I. INTRODUCTION
Sentiment Analysis which is also known as opinion mining uses natural language processing, computational linguistics and text analysis which identifies and extracts the subjective and objective information from the source materials. Sentiment analysis is broadly employed to social media and reviews for a collection of applications, ranging from customer service to marketing. The purpose of sentiment analysis is to determine the sentiment polarity of a sentence based on its textual content that is positive, negative or neutral.
Lexicon-based approaches typically utilize a lexicon of sentiment words, each of which is annotated with its sentiment polarity or sentiment strength. Linguistic rules such as intensifications and negations are usually incorporated to aggregate the sentiment polarity of sentences. Corpus-based methods treat sentiment classification as a special case of text categorization problem. They mostly build sentiment classifier from sentences with annotated sentiment polarity. The sentiment supervision can be manually annotated, or automatically collected by sentiment signals like emoticons in tweets or human ratings in reviews.
As Sentiment words are usually domineering in the sentiment classification, it is natural to utilize sentiment lexicons for sentiment classification. Even its easy and illustratable nature, lexicon-based approach is unable to operate huge particular sentiment delivery in web due to inclusion of sentiment lexicons. The drawback for tweets in Twitter1 and movie review in IMDB2, in which the short forms, expressions are utilized to express users sentiments, so it is impractical to manage sentiment lexicon to cover the sentiment delivery with a good inclusion. Here we are in alignment with most of the existing ways and consider sentiment classification as a different case of text classification job.
The above study shows a systematic procedure with two levels. In first level they create the partition result of sentence with bag-of-words or a individual text analyzer like standard syntactic chunker. In second level they consider segmentation results as the information and use a classification algorithm to create sentiment classifier. This kind of systematic procedure will yield to the issue of error propagation. As the error from sentence segmentation cannot be rectified. Some particular type of error is made by uncertain sentiment polarity between a phrase and words it contain, like {“a great deal of”, ”great”} and {“not bad”, ”bad”}.
This polarity uncertain incident cannot be managed by bag-of-words and syntactic chunkers. Eg., bag of words segmentation in concern with each word as an individual unit, and does not hold good concern to the phrasal sentiment like “not bad”. Syntactic chunkers particularly target in recognizing noun groups, verb groups, or termed element from a sentence. But many sentiment indicators are phrases consisting of adjectives, negations, or idioms, fragmented by standard syntactic chunkers. The sentiment information can be used as monitoring to renew the segmentation, and hence it promotes the work of sentiment classification.
There are 5 modules in the proposed system. (1) Twitter API Key Authentication, in this module the connection to the Twitter4J Library is established. The system works only after the connection gets establishes. (2) Tweets Reader, in this module the tweets are extracted from the Twitter4J Library based on the key word specified called the corpus. (3) Sentence Extraction, in this module the sentences are extracted from the tweets that were returned. (4) Sentence Segmentation, in this module the segmentation tree is created and the parts of speech tags are assigned to each word in the sentence. (5) Sentiment Orientation, in this module the orientation of the sentences is recognized based on their weights and then assigned as positive, negative or neutral.
The classified sentences are positive sentence or negative sentence or neutral sentence are used to rank based on the count of the polarity for a particular product got by sentiment orientation and then the graphs are plotted to know the product review by the users of that product. The Stanford Core NLP Model is used to create the semantic tree of words based on their scores. The scores range from 0 to 4. The scores are given as 0 – Very Negative. 1 – Negative. 2 – Neutral. 3 – Positive. 4 – Very Positive.
The few advantages of the proposed system are Marketing, Customer Service, Social Media, opinion mining of the products, and voting on the products. The few applications of the proposed system are Emotion Detection, Building Resources and Transfer Learning.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
In Sentiment analysis, sentiment classification is the basic and highly reviewed topic. The main objective is to identify the sentiment polarity of a sentence regarding its textural context. There are two approaches for sentiment classification i.e., Lexicon based approach and Corpus based approach. Also the Deep learning methods and Joint methods for sentiment classification are studied.
In Lexicon Based Method, the sentiment lexicons joined with the sentiment polarity is used. To identify the sentiment polarity of sentences, semantic rules are considered. Turney [2] proposed lexicon based method consists of three steps. At first, the phrases are extracted if their POS tags confirm predefined pattern. In second step, these extracted phrases, the sentiment polarity is calculated through point wised mutual information. In last step, the polarity of all the phrases in a study is averaged as the final sentiment polarity.
For sentimental classification most of the approaches adapt Corpus Based Method. Pang et al. [6] studied machine learning methods at first. To solve the sentiment classification of review uses a unique case of text categorization problem. They used Naïve Bayes, Maximum Entropy and Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a huge set of features. By using bag-of-words feature with SVM they got the best results. Based on the Pang et al. study, most studies concentrated on designing or learning effective features to get the best classification performance.
There existed development of clarity in the Deep Learning. Many studies concentrated on learning the low-dimensional, dense and real-valued vector as the text features for sentiment analysis. The importance of deep learning is to learn continuous semantics of texts for sentence or document level sentiment classification. The Deep learning method is of two steps. Initially they studied continuous word representations from text corpus, and then they use word embedding to generate the representation of sentence with semantic contents. Mikolov et al. [17] found a context prediction method for word embedded learning and introduced the word2vec toolkit3. Recently lot of studies tried to learn the best word embeddings.
For betterment of main classification operations, other research misused Lower-Level information of a sentence. Example for the betterment of document level sentiment classification, Pang and Lee [44] introduced sentence level subjective classification. They adopted an ordered method that will eliminate the adjective sentences first and then utilizes subjective sentences as input for document level sentiment classification. McDonald et al. [48] and Zaidan and Eisner [49] introduced to concurrently handle the sentence-level and document-level sentiment classification job. The fine grained model coarse grained models together improved to get the best classification results.
Maite Taboada et al. in “Lexicon-Based Methods for Sentiment Analysis” [1] presents a lexicon-based or word-based approach of selecting the sentiments from the text. The Semantic Orientation CALculator (SO-CAL) is an extension from adjectives to other parts of speech. This uses the manually constructed dictionaries which gives a dimensional support to the lexicon-based approach. The dictionary of words commented with semantic orientation that is strength and polarity, which includes negation and intensification. SO-CAL is adapted to the polarity classification task, the course of action to accredit a positive or negative label to the given text which acquires the text’s opinion against its main subject matter. The robust performance over the dissimilar types of reviews, completely unseen data and on domains. The method of creating the dictionary is also the application of mechanical Turk which is used to analyze the dictionaries for their reliability and consistency.
Peter D. Turney in “Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Semantic Orientation Applied to Unsupervised Classification of Reviews” [2] presents an unsupervised learning algorithm which classifies the reviews as recommended or not recommended that is thumbs up thumbs down. The unsupervised learning algorithm consists of three steps: (1) extracting the phrases which contain adjectives or adverbs, (2) for each phrase the semantic orientation is estimated, and (3) by predicting the average semantic orientation of each phrase, the reviews are classified. A phrase will have a positive semantic orientation when it has good associations such as “subtle nuances” and it will have a negative semantic orientation when it has bad associations such as “very cavalier”. The phrase, semantic orientation is calculated as, the mutual information over the given phrase and the word “poor”.
Xiaowen Ding et al. in “A Holistic Lexicon-Based Approach to Opinion Mining” [3] proposes an productive approach for recognizing an semantic orientations of opinions depicted on product appearance by reviewers. Opinions like positive, negative or neutral. Most of the existing methods make use of list of opinion (bearing) words which is called as opinion lexicon. The desirable like amazing great etc., and undesirable like poor bad etc., states are expressed by the opinion words. The two considerable problems dealt by these existing approaches are: (1) the opinion words for which semantic orientation are context dependent. (2) Aggregation of multiple or different opinion words of the same sentence. The approaches proposed to solve these problems are: (1) a holistic approach which correctly concludes the semantic orientation of an opinion word which is based on the review context. (2) a new function which combines the multiple or different opinion words of the same sentence called the opinion observer.
Mike Thelwall in “Heart and Soul: Sentiment Strength Detection in the Social Web with SentiStrength” [4] introduces SentiStrength program which detects the sentiment strength. This was developed when the Cyber Emotions assignment which discloses the strength of the sentiments signified in the social web texts. SentiStrength applies a lexicon of sentiment words and word stems in sync with average positive or negative sentiment strength scores. Texts are classified based on the highest positive or negative scores or values for each and every constituent word except for the modified words by any spare classification rules, like in the case of booster words, emotions and negations. SentiStrength has a accuracy close to human accuracy on a common short social web texts however it is less accurate on the Sarcasm texts like political discussions. SentiStrength can be developed for particular contexts and topics, and for different languages. SentiStrength deals with social web methods and standard linguistics which signifies the sentiment, like deliberate misspellings, emoticons and exaggerated punctuation.
Hilke Reckman et al. in “Rule-based detection of sentiment phrases using SAS Sentiment Analysis” [5] gives a Rule based pattern matching system on “Domain Independent” sentiment taxonomy for English language. This model applies pattern matching on text, sentiment prediction is returned placed on count of positive or negative argument depending on the amount of their weights.
Bo Pang et al. in “Thumbs up? Sentiment Classification using Machine Learning Techniques” [6] considers the problem of document classification by not topics, although by overall sentiment, e.g., determining whether a given review if it is positive or negative. The three standard machine learning techniques like Maximum Entropy Classification, Support Vector Machines and Naïve Bayes. This concludes that the sentiment classification are challenging.
Sida Wang et al. in “Baselines and Bigrams: Simple, Good Sentiment and Topic Classification” [7] gives a baseline methods of text classification are SVM – Support Vector Machine and NB – Naïve Bayes. The performance is varied based on featured used, task/dataset and model variant. This shows:- (i) the addition of word begram property contributes constant gains on sentiment analysis task. (ii) NB does better on short snippet sentiment tasks than SVMs. (iii) for tasks and datasets, the novel SVM variant along with NB log-count ratios property constantly performs good. The simple NB and SVM variant provides a new state-of-the-art performance level.
Hyun Duk Kim et al. in “Generating Comparative Summaries of Contradictory Opinions in Text” [8] proposed a Contrastive Opinion Summarization (COS) which is a novel summarization problem. The present opinion summarizer outputs two sets as positively and negatively opinionated sentences, COS selects comparable sentences from every set of opinions and produce a comparative summary consists a set of contrastive sentence pairs. The problem is framed as an optimization problem, to produce a comparative summary utilizing the framework. The two approximation approaches are proposed. Both the approaches depend on measuring contrastive similarity and content similarity of the two sentences.
Georgios Paltoglou et al. in “A study of Information Retrieval weighting schemes for sentiment analysis” [9] presents a analysis of document illustration for sentiment analysis applying term weighting functions accepted from information retrieved and affirmed to classification. The method weighting scheme was proved on a sum of publicly accessible datasets and they demonstrated the improvement in accuracy in comparison with state-of-the-art methods. The accuracy is increased when sub linear method for term frequency weights are documented frequency smoothing are used.
Tetsuji Nakagawa et al. in “Dependency Tree-based Sentiment Classification using CRFs with Hidden Variables” [10] presents a dependency tree based method using conditional random variables along with hidden variables for sentiment classification. The hidden variable represents the polarity of each dependency subtree of a subjective sentence. The hidden variable values are calculated based on the interactions between the variables with head-modifier relation in the dependency tree. The hidden variable value of root node is the polarity of whole sentence.
Saif M. Mohammad et al. in “NRC-Canada: Building the State-of-the-Art in Sentiment Analysis of Tweets” [11] describes a two state-of-the-art SVM classifiers one to detect message-level sentiment on tweets and SMS and other to detect on term-level that is sentiment of term in a message. A variety of appearances based on lexical categories and surface form.
Alec Go et al. in “Twitter Sentiment Classification using Distant Supervision” [12] introduces an approach of sentiment classification of twitter messages. Based on the query term these messages are classified as positive or negative. This information is utilized by the companies to monitor the sentiment of the public on their brands and also to the consumers who want to buy the product. The twitter messages sentiment are classified by distant supervision.
Hao Wang et al. in “Sentiment Expression via Emoticons on Social Media” [13] presents a study on emotions sentiment classification. The algorithms which are used for sentiment polarities should consider the emoticons. First, analyzing the frequency of emoticons on a large twitter data set then four analyses were done to test the relationships among the sentiment polarity and emoticons along with contexts of emoticons. Second, analyzing the clustering of words and emoticons to convey the meaning of emoticons. Third, analyzing the sentiment polarity of micro blog posts after and before the emoticons was removed from the text. Last, analyzing that removing the emoticons from the texts affects the sentiment.
Yongfeng Zhang et al. in “Boost Phrase-level Polarity Labelling with Review-level Sentiment Classification” [14] focuses on the gap between phrase-level and review-level sentiment analysis. Inspecting the discrepancy over the numerical star ratings and sentiment orientation of textual user reviews. The same is implemented on the review-level which boosts the performance of phrase-level polarity utilizing a novel constrained convex optimization framework.
Yoshua Bengioy et al. in “Representation Learning: A Review and New Perspectives” [15] reviews on unsupervised feature learning and deep learning, which covers manifold learning, deep network, probabilistic models and auto-encoders. The long-term unanswered queries for computing representations, learning good representations, and geometrical connections over the representation learning, manifold learning and density estimation.
Jeffrey Pennington et al. in “GloVe: Global Vectors forWord Representation” [16] focuses on the queries on distributional word representations which are best learned from prediction based methods or count-based methods. The prediction-based gives substantial support they perform better across a range of tasks. The count-based captures global statistics. A model is constructed which uses the advantages of count data that captures linear substructures and log-bilinear prediction based approaches such as word2vec.
Tomas Mikolov et al. in “Distributed Representations of Words and Phrases and their Compositionality” [17] proposes an extensions method for sub sampling the repeated words which obtains regular word representations and significant speedup. Negative sampling is the hierarchical softmax. Representing idiomatic phrases by inherent limitation of words representations. Learning a good vector representation and a simple method for finding the phrases in text.
Omer Levy et al. in “Dependency-Based Word Embeddings” [18] proposes a SKIPGRAM modeling for negative sampling which includes arbitrary contexts. The bag-of-words are retrieved with arbitrary ones. The dependency-based context is used to experiment.
Jiwei Li et. al. in “Do Multi-Sense Embeddings Improve Natural Language Understanding?” [19] Expands an ongoing research into multi-sense embeddings by first proposing a new version of Chinese restaurant processes that achieves state of the art performance on the simple word similarity matching tasks. Also introduces a system for incorporating multi-sense embeddings into NLP applications, and examines multiple NLP tasks to see whether and when multi-sense embeddings which introduces performance boosts.
Igor Labutov in “Re-embedding Words” [20] presents a novel approach for adapting to existing word vectors for improving performance in a text classification task. Introduces a techniques for leveraging the large amount of unsupervised data, but indirectly through word vectors, these are instrumental in cases where the data is not directly available, training time is valuable and a set of easy low-dimensional “plug-and-play” features are expressed.
Duyu Tang et. al. in “Learning Sentiment-Specific Word Embedding for Twitter Sentiment Classification” [21] proposes a continuous word representations learning as features for Twitter sentiment classification under a supervised learning framework. These methods are typically modeled only for the context information of words so that they cannot distinguish words with similar context but opposite sentiment polarity (e.g. good and bad). The sentiment-specific word embedding (SSWE) is learnt by integrating the sentiment information into the loss functions of three neural networks. The SSWE is trained with massive distant-supervised tweets which are selected by positive and negative emoticons.
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
There are many aspects to consider in the design of a system. The importance of each should reflect the goals the system is trying to achieve. Some of these design considerations are:
The sentiment analysis shall be done at sentence level. Sentences having no information about positive or negative sentiment shall be discarded.
Sentences shall be extracted live from the twitter database using twitter API key.
The orientation of the given sentence towards positive or negative sentiment shall be determined by the semantic weight of the opinion words present in the sentence.
System Architecture is the conceptual model that defines the behavior, structure, and more views of a system. An architecture description is a formal representation and description of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the behaviors and structures of the system. The Figure 4.1 shows the system architecture of the proposed system.
There are 5 modules in the proposed system they are as follows:
1. Twitter API Key Authentication
2. Tweets Reader
3. Sentence Extraction
4. Sentence Segmentation
5. Sentiment Orientation
1. Twitter API Key Authentication
This module establishes connection to Twitter4J Library to generate the corpus. The Keys like Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, and Access Token Secret which are used as authentication to connect to the Twitter4J Library. After authenticating the keys connection is established and the corpus is generated, which starts downloading the tweets from the Twitter server. If the connection fails to establish then the project cannot be run.
2. Tweets Reader:
After downloading the tweets from the twitter server, the tweets are read using this module based on the hash tags and the key words specified.
3. Sentence Extraction:
The sentences with the specified key words are extracted from the tweets which are read.
4. Sentence Segmentation:
The extracted sentences are tagged with the parts of speech tagger and the semantic tree is created based on the scores assigned to the words. The scores are assigned based on the semantic meaning of the words which are looked up using the Stanford Core NLP Model.
5. Semantic Orientation:
The semantic orientation is generated based on the scores assigned to the opinion words. The scores range from 0 to 4 where 0 – Very Negative, 1 – Negative, 2 – Neutral, 3 – Positive, 4 – Very Positive. The sentences are then analysed as positive or negative or neutral based on the polarity scores got from the opinion words.
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper we developed a model which connects to the Twitter4J Library using Twitter API Key Authentication to download the tweets and the extracting the sentences and creating a semantic tree based on the score of the words obtained by connecting to Stanford Core NLP Model and then extracting the opinion words for semantic orientation to classify the sentence as positive, negative or neutral.
