Abstract

Opinion mining has become a hot topic at the crossroads of information retrieval and computational linguistics. In this paper, we propose to study two key research problems of designing an opinion mining system, i.e., entity-related opinion detection problem and sentiment analysis problem. For the entity-related opinion detection problem, we want to use sophisticated statistical models, e.g., probabilistic topic models and statistical rule generation methods, to achieve better performance than existing baselines. For the sentiment analysis problem, we have proposed a novel HL-SOT approach and reported its feasibility in an academic publication. Since the kernel classifier utilized in the HL-SOT approach is a linear function, we are working on developing a multi-layer neural network kernel algorithm which results in a non-linear classifier and is expected to improve the performance of the original HL-SOT approach to sentiment analysis.
