Abstract:
In recent years a variety of approaches in classifying the sentiment polarity of texts have been proposed. While in the majority of approaches the determination of subjectivity or polarity-related term features is at the center, the number of publicly available dictionaries is rather limited. In this paper, we investigate the performance of combining lexical resources with machine learning-based classi er for the task of sentiment classi cation. We systematically analyze four di fferent English and three di erent German polarity dictionaries as a resources for a sentiment-based feature selection. The  evaluation results show that smaller but more controlled dictionaries used for feature selection perform within a SVM-based classi cation setup equally good compared to the biggest available resources.
