Abstract

Microblog content poses serious challenges to the applicability of sentiment analysis, due to its inherent characteristics. We introduce a novel method relying on content-based and context-based features, guaranteeing high effectiveness and robustness in the settings we are considering. The evaluation of our methods over a large Twitter data set indicates significant improvements over the traditional techniques.
