Abstract

A new method for sentiment polarity analysis is presented. The method first assigns scores to a sentence using SentiWordNet and then uses heuristics to handle context dependent sentiment expressions. Instead of using score of all synsets of a word listed in SentiWordNet we use score of synsets of the same parts of speech only. Our method shows significant improvement on movie-review dataset over the baseline.
