Abstract

Sentiment classification is attracting more and more attention because of its great benefits to social and human life. Usually supervised classification approaches perform well in sentiment classification, but the performance decreases sharply when transferred from one domain to another domain. In this paper, we propose an approach, SentiRank, which integrates the sentiment orientations of the documents into the graph-ranking algorithm for cross-domain sentiment classification. We apply the graph-ranking algorithm using the accurate labels of old-domain documents as well as the “pseudo” labels of new-domain documents, and investigate their relative importance for cross-domain sentiment classification. The experiment results indicate that the proposed algorithm could improve the performance of cross-domain sentiment classification dramatically.
