The document presents a framework for sentiment analysis using a dictionary-based approach and compares sentiment analysis techniques, including machine learning and lexicon-based methods. It proposes an approach to sentiment analysis using lexicons that incorporates fuzzy logic. The key steps are preprocessing text data, calculating sentiment polarity of words and sentences using SentiWordNet and WordNet dictionaries, and applying fuzzy logic to handle negation and improve accuracy. A comparative analysis is provided of several sentiment analysis techniques based on features like preprocessing, techniques employed, dictionaries used, datasets, and soft computing approaches.
Improving Sentiment Analysis of Short Informal Indonesian Product Reviews usi...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Sentiment analysis in short informal texts like product reviews is more challenging. Short texts are
sparse, noisy, and lack of context information. Traditional text classification methods may not be suitable
for analyzing sentiment of short texts given all those difficulties. A common approach to overcome these
problems is to enrich the original texts with additional semantics to make it appear like a large document of
text. Then, traditional classification methods can be applied to it. In this study, we developed an automatic
sentiment analysis system of short informal Indonesian texts using Naïve Bayes and Synonym Based
Feature Expansion. The system consists of three main stages, preprocessing and normalization, features
expansion and classification. After preprocessing and normalization, we utilize Kateglo to find some
synonyms of every words in original texts and append them. Finally, the text is classified using Naïve
Bayes. The experiment shows that the proposed method can improve the performance of sentiment
analysis of short informal Indonesian product reviews. The best sentiment classification performance using
proposed feature expansion is obtained by accuracy of 98%.The experiment also show that feature
expansion will give higher improvement in small number of training data than in the large number of them.
Mining Opinion Features in Customer ReviewsIJCERT JOURNAL
Now days, E-commerce systems have become extremely important. Large numbers of customers are choosing online shopping because of its convenience, reliability, and cost. Client generated information and especially item reviews are significant sources of data for consumers to make informed buy choices and for makers to keep track of customer’s opinions. It is difficult for customers to make purchasing decisions based on only pictures and short product descriptions. On the other hand, mining product reviews has become a hot research topic and prior researches are mostly based on pre-specified product features to analyse the opinions. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as NLTK for Python can be applied to raw customer reviews and keywords can be extracted. This paper presents a survey on the techniques used for designing software to mine opinion features in reviews. Elven IEEE papers are selected and a comparison is made between them. These papers are representative of the significant improvements in opinion mining in the past decade.
Myanmar news summarization using different word representations IJECEIAES
There is enormous amount information available in different forms of sources and genres. In order to extract useful information from a massive amount of data, automatic mechanism is required. The text summarization systems assist with content reduction keeping the important information and filtering the non-important parts of the text. Good document representation is really important in text summarization to get relevant information. Bag-ofwords cannot give word similarity on syntactic and semantic relationship. Word embedding can give good document representation to capture and encode the semantic relation between words. Therefore, centroid based on word embedding representation is employed in this paper. Myanmar news summarization based on different word embedding is proposed. In this paper, Myanmar local and international news are summarized using centroid-based word embedding summarizer using the effectiveness of word representation approach, word embedding. Experiments were done on Myanmar local and international news dataset using different word embedding models and the results are compared with performance of bag-of-words summarization. Centroid summarization using word embedding performs comprehensively better than centroid summarization using bag-of-words.
Question and Answer System (QAS) are some of the many challenges for natural language understanding and interfaces. In this paper we have develop a new scoring mathematical model that works on the five types of questions. The question text failures are first extracted and a score is found based on its structure with respect to its template structure and then answer score is calculated again the question as well as paragraph. A name entity recognizer and a Part of Speech tagger are applied on each of these words to encode necessary of information. After that the text to finally reach at the index of the most probable answer with respect to question. In this the entropy algorithm is used to find the exact answer.
Sentiment classification is an ongoing field and interesting area of research because of its application in various fields collecting review from people about products and social and political events through the web. Currently, Sentiment Analysis concentrates for subjective statements or on subjectivity and overlook objective statements which carry sentiment(s). During the sentiment classification more challenging problem are faced due to the ambiguous sense of words, negation words and intensifier. Due to its importance the correct sense of target word is extracted and determined for which the similarity arise in WordNet Glosses. This paper presents a survey covering the techniques and methods in sentiment analysis and challenges appear in the field.

Parameters Optimization for Improving ASR Performance in Adverse Real World N...Waqas Tariq
From the existing research it has been observed that many techniques and methodologies are available for performing every step of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system, but the performance (Minimization of Word Error Recognition-WER and Maximization of Word Accuracy Rate- WAR) of the methodology is not dependent on the only technique applied in that method. The research work indicates that, performance mainly depends on the category of the noise, the level of the noise and the variable size of the window, frame, frame overlap etc is considered in the existing methods. The main aim of the work presented in this paper is to use variable size of parameters like window size, frame size and frame overlap percentage to observe the performance of algorithms for various categories of noise with different levels and also train the system for all size of parameters and category of real world noisy environment to improve the performance of the speech recognition system. This paper presents the results of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Accuracy test by applying variable size of parameters. It is observed that, it is really very hard to evaluate test results and decide parameter size for ASR performance improvement for its resultant optimization. Hence, this study further suggests the feasible and optimum parameter size using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for enhancing resultant accuracy in adverse real world noisy environmental conditions. This work will be helpful to give discriminative training of ubiquitous ASR system for better Human Computer Interaction (HCI).

Neural Network Based Context Sensitive Sentiment AnalysisEditor IJCATR
Social media communication is evolving more in these days. Social networking site is being rapidly increased in recent years, which provides platform to connect people all over the world and share their interests. The conversation and the posts available in social media are unstructured in nature. So sentiment analysis will be a challenging work in this platform. These analyses are mostly performed in machine learning techniques which are less accurate than neural network methodologies. This paper is based on sentiment classification using Competitive layer neural networks and classifies the polarity of a given text whether the expressed opinion in the text is positive or negative or neutral. It determines the overall topic of the given text. Context independent sentences and implicit meaning in the text are also considered in polarity classification.
A New Approach to Parts of Speech Tagging in Malayalamijcsit
Parts-of-speech tagging is the process of labeling each word in a sentence. A tag mentions the word’s
usage in the sentence. Usually, these tags indicate syntactic classification like noun or verb, and sometimes
include additional information, with case markers (number, gender etc) and tense markers. A large number
of current language processing systems use a parts-of-speech tagger for pre-processing.
There are mainly two approaches usually followed in Parts of Speech Tagging. Those are Rule based
Approach and Stochastic Approach. Rule based Approach use predefined handwritten rules. This is the
oldest approach and it use lexicon or dictionary for reference. Stochastic Approach use probabilistic and
statistical information to assign tag to words. It use large corpus, so that Time complexity and Space
complexity is high whereas Rule base approach has less complexity for both Time and Space. Stochastic
Approach is the widely used one nowadays because of its accuracy.
Malayalam is a Dravidian family of languages, inflectional with suffixes with the root word forms. The
currently used Algorithms are efficient Machine Learning Algorithms but these are not built for
Malayalam. So it affects the accuracy of the result of Malayalam POS Tagging.
My proposed Approach use Dictionary entries along with adjacent tag information. This algorithm use
Multithreaded Technology. Here tagging done with the probability of the occurrence of the sentence
structure along with the dictionary entry.
Abstract
Part of speech tagging plays an important role in developing natural language processing software. Part of speech tagging means assigning part of speech tag to each word of the sentence. The part of speech tagger takes a sentence as input and it assigns respective/appropriate part of speech tag to each word of that sentence. In this article I surveys the different work have done about odia POS tagging.

ON THE UTILITY OF A SYLLABLE-LIKE SEGMENTATION FOR LEARNING A TRANSLITERATION...cscpconf
Source and target word segmentation and alignment is a primary step in the statistical learning of a Transliteration. Here, we analyze the benefit of a syllable-like segmentation approach for learning a transliteration from English to an Indic language, which aligns the training set word pairs in terms of sub-syllable-like units instead of individual character units. While this has been found useful in the case of dealing with Out-of-vocabulary words in English-Chinese in the presence of multiple target dialects, we asked if this would be true for Indic languages which are simpler in their phonetic representation and pronunciation. We expected this syllable-like method to perform marginally better, but we found instead that even though our proposed approach improved the Top-1 accuracy, the individual-character-unit alignment model
somewhat outperformed our approach when the Top-10 results of the system were re-ranked using language modeling approaches. Our experiments were conducted for English to Telugu transliteration (our method will apply equally well to most written Indic languages); our training consisted of a syllable-like segmentation and alignment of a large training set, on which we built a statistical model by modifying a previous character-level maximum entropy based Transliteration learning system due to Kumaran and Kellner; our testing consisted of using the same segmentation of a test English word, followed by applying the model, and reranking the resulting top 10 Telugu words. We also report the dataset creation and selection since standard datasets are not available.
Sentiment classification aims to detect information such as opinions, explicit , implicit feelings expressed
in text. The most existing approaches are able to detect either explicit expressions or implicit expressions of
sentiments in the text separately. In this proposed framework it will detect both Implicit and Explicit
expressions available in the meeting transcripts. It will classify the Positive, Negative, Neutral words and
also identify the topic of the particular meeting transcripts by using fuzzy logic. This paper aims to add
some additional features for improving the classification method. The quality of the sentiment classification
is improved using proposed fuzzy logic framework .In this fuzzy logic it includes the features like Fuzzy
rules and Fuzzy C-means algorithm.The quality of the output is evaluated using the parameters such as
precision, recall, f-measure. Here Fuzzy C-means Clustering technique measured in terms of Purity and
Entropy. The data set was validated using 10-fold cross validation method and observed 95% confidence
interval between the accuracy values .Finally, the proposed fuzzy logic method produced more than 85 %
accurate results and error rate is very less compared to existing sentiment classification techniques.

A survey on sentiment analysis and opinion miningeSAT Journals
Abstract Sentiment analysis is a machine learning approach in which machines analyze and classify the human’s sentiments, emotions, opinions etc about some topic which are expressed in the form of either text or speech. The textual data available in the web is increasing day by day. In order to enhance the sales of a product and to improve the customer satisfaction, most of the on-line shopping sites provide the opportunity to customers to write reviews about products. These reviews are large in number and to mine the overall sentiment or opinion polarity from all of them, sentiment analysis can be used. Manual analysis of such large number of reviews is practically impossible. Therefore automated approach of a machine has significant role in solving this hard problem. The major challenge of the area of Sentiment analysis and Opinion mining lies in identifying the emotions expressed in these texts. This literature survey is done to study the sentiment analysis problem in-depth and to familiarize with other works done on the subject.

This paper deals about the sentiment analysis of the Manipuri article. The language is very highly
agglutinative in Nature. The document files are the letters to the editor of few local daily newspapers. The
text is processed for Part of Speech (POS) tagging using Conditional Random Field (CRF). The lexicon of
verbs is modified with the sentiment polarity (Positive or Negative or Neutral) manually. With the POS
tagger the verbs of each sentence are identified and the modified lexicon of verbs is used to notify the
polarity of the sentiment in the sentence. The total number of polarity for each category that is positive,
negative and neutral is counted separately. The highest total of the three is the deciding factor of the
sentiment polarity of the document. The system shows a recall of 72.10%, a precision of 78.14% and a Fmeasure
of 75.00%.

Due to the fast growth of World Wide Web the online communication has increased. In recent times the communication focus has shifted to social networking. In order to enhance the text methods of communication such as tweets, blogs and chats, it is necessary to examine the emotion of user by studying the input text. Online reviews are posted by customers for the products and services on offer at a website portal. This has provided impetus to substantial growth of online purchasing making opinion analysis a vital factor for business development. To analyze such text and reviews sentiment analysis is used. Sentiment analysis is a sub domain of Natural Language Processing which acquires writer’s feelings about several products which are placed on the internet through various comments or posts. It is used to find the opinion or response of the user. Opinion may be positive, negative or neutral. In this paper a review on sentiment analysis is done and the challenges and issues involved in the process are discussed. The approaches to sentiment analysis using dictionaries such as SenticNet, SentiFul, SentiWordNet, and WordNet are studied. Dictionary-based approaches are efficient over a domain of study. Although a generalized dictionary like WordNet may be used, the accuracy of the classifier get affected due to issues like negation, synonyms, sarcasm, etc.

APPROXIMATE ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF NON-LINEAR BOUSSINESQ EQUATION FOR THE UNS...mathsjournal
For one dimensional homogeneous, isotropic aquifer, without accretion the governing Boussinesq
equation under Dupuit assumptions is a nonlinear partial differential equation. In the present paper
approximate analytical solution of nonlinear Boussinesq equation is obtained using Homotopy
perturbation transform method(HPTM). The solution is compared with the exact solution. The
comparison shows that the HPTM is efficient, accurate and reliable. The analysis of two important aquifer
parameters namely viz. specific yield and hydraulic conductivity is studied to see the effects on the height
of water table. The results resemble well with the physical phenomena.
FEATURE SELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION APPROACH FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSISmlaij
Sentiment analysis and Opinion mining has emerged as a popular and efficient technique for information retrieval and web data analysis. The exponential growth of the user generated content has opened new horizons for research in the field of sentiment analysis. This paper proposes a model for sentiment analysis of movie reviews using a combination of natural language processing and machine learning approaches. Firstly, different data pre-processing schemes are applied on the dataset. Secondly, the behaviour of twoclassifiers, Naive Bayes and SVM, is investigated in combination with different feature selection schemes to
obtain the results for sentiment analysis. Thirdly, the proposed model for sentiment analysis is extended to
obtain the results for higher order n-grams.
Supervised Sentiment Classification using DTDP algorithmIJSRD
Sentiment analysis is the process widely used in all fields and it uses the statistical machine learning approach for text modeling. The primarily used approach is Bag-of-words (BOW). Though, this technique has some limitations in polarity shift problem. Thus, here we propose a new method called Dual sentiment analysis (DSA) which resolves the polarity shift problem. Proposed method involves two approaches such as dual training and dual prediction (DPDT). First, we propose a data expansion technique by creating a reversed review for training data. Second, dual training and dual prediction algorithm is developed for doing analysis on sentiment data. The dual training algorithm is used for learning a sentiment classifier and the dual prediction algorithm is developed for classifying the review by considering two sides of one review.

Opinion Mining also known as Sentiment Analysis, is a technique or procedure which uses Natural Language processing (NLP) to classify the outcome from text. There are various NLP tools available which are used for processing text data. Multiple research have been done in opinion mining for online blogs, Twitter, Facebook etc. This paper proposes a new opinion mining technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and NLP tools on newspaper headlines. Relative words are generated using Stanford CoreNLP, which is passed to SVM using count vectorizer. On comparing three models using confusion matrix, results indicate that Tf-idf and Linear SVM provides better accuracy for smaller dataset. While for larger dataset, SGD and linear SVM model outperform other models.
An Improved sentiment classification for objective word.IJSRD
Sentiment classification is an ongoing field and interesting area of research because of its application in various fields. Customer sentiments play a very important role in daily life. Currently, Sentiment classification focused on subjective statements and ignores objective statements which also carry sentiment. During the sentiment classification, problem is faced due to the ambiguous sense (meaning) of words and negation words. In word sense disambiguation method semantic scores calculated from SentiWordNet of WordNet glosses terms. The correct sense of the word is extracted and determined similarity in WordNet glosses terms. SentiWordNet extract first sense of word which used in general sense. This work aims at improving the sentiment classification by modifying the sentiment values returned by SentiWordNet and compare classification accuracy of support vector machine and naïve bays.
Enhanced sentiment analysis based on improved word embeddings and XGboost IJECEIAES
Sentiment analysis is a well-known and rapidly expanding study topic in natural language processing (NLP) and text classification. This approach has evolved into a critical component of many applications, including politics, business, advertising, and marketing. Most current research focuses on obtaining sentiment features through lexical and syntactic analysis. Word embeddings explicitly express these characteristics. This article proposes a novel method, improved words vector for sentiments analysis (IWVS), using XGboost to improve the F1-score of sentiment classification. The proposed method constructed sentiment vectors by averaging the word embeddings (Sentiment2Vec). We also investigated the Polarized lexicon for classifying positive and negative sentiments. The sentiment vectors formed a feature space to which the examined sentiment text was mapped to. Those features were input into the chosen classifier (XGboost). We compared the F1-score of sentiment classification using our method via different machine learning models and sentiment datasets. We compare the quality of our proposition to that of baseline models, term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) and Doc2vec, and the results show that IWVS performs better on the F1-measure for sentiment classification. At the same time, XGBoost with IWVS features was the best model in our evaluation.
A scalable, lexicon based technique for sentiment analysisijfcstjournal
Rapid increase in the volume of sentiment rich social media on the web has resulted in an increased
interest among researchers regarding Sentimental Analysis and opinion mining. However, with so much
social media available on the web, sentiment analysis is now considered as a big data task. Hence the
conventional sentiment analysis approaches fails to efficiently handle the vast amount of sentiment data
available now a days. The main focus of the research was to find such a technique that can efficiently
perform sentiment analysis on big data sets. A technique that can categorize the text as positive, negative
and neutral in a fast and accurate manner. In the research, sentiment analysis was performed on a large
data set of tweets using Hadoop and the performance of the technique was measured in form of speed and
accuracy. The experimental results shows that the technique exhibits very good efficiency in handling big
sentiment data sets.
Senti-Lexicon and Analysis for Restaurant Reviews of Myanmar TextIJAEMSJORNAL
Social media has just become as an influential with the rapidly growing popularity of online customers reviews available in social sites by using informal languages and emoticons. These reviews are very helpful for new customers and for decision making process. Sentiment analysis is to state the feelings, opinions about people’s reviews together with sentiment. Most of researchers applied sentiment analysis for English Language. There is no research efforts have sought to provide sentiment analysis of Myanmar text. To tackle this problem, we propose the resource of Myanmar Language for mining food and restaurants’ reviews. This paper aims to build language resource to overcome the language specific problem and opinion word extraction for Myanmar text reviews of consumers. We address dictionary based approach of lexicon-based sentiment analysis for analysis of opinion word extraction in food and restaurants domain. This research assesses the challenges and problem faced in sentiment analysis of Myanmar Language area for future.
One fundamental problem in sentiment analysis is categorization of sentiment polarity. Given a piece of written text, the problem is to categorize the text into one specific sentiment polarity, positive or negative (or neutral). Based on the scope of the text, there are three distinctions of sentiment polarity categorization, namely the document level, the sentence level, and the entity and aspect level. Consider a review “I like multimedia features but the battery life sucks.†This sentence has a mixed emotion. The emotion regarding multimedia is positive whereas that regarding battery life is negative. Hence, it is required to extract only those opinions relevant to a particular feature (like battery life or multimedia) and classify them, instead of taking the complete sentence and the overall sentiment. In this paper, we present a novel approach to identify pattern specific expressions of opinion in text.

A Survey on Sentiment Categorization of Movie ReviewsEditor IJMTER
Sentiment categorization is a process of mining user generated text content and determine
the sentiment of the users towards that particular thing. It is the approach of detecting the sentiment of
the author in regard to some topics. It also known as sentiment detection, sentiment analysis and opinion
mining. It is very useful for movie production companies that interested in knowing how users feel
about their movies. For example word “excellent” indicates that the review gives positive emotion about
particular movie. The same applies to movies, songs, cars, holiday destinations, Political parties, social
network sites, web blogs, discussion forum and so on. Sentiment categorization can be carried out by
using three approaches. First, Supervised machine learning based text classifier on Naïve Bayes,
Maximum Entropy, SVM, kNN classifier, hidden marcov model. Second, Unsupervised Semantic
Orientation scheme of extracting relevant N-grams of the text and then labelling. Third, SentiWordNet
based publicly available library.
Analyzing sentiment system to specify polarity by lexicon-basedjournalBEEI
Currently, sentiment analysis into positive or negative getting more attention from the researchers. With the rapid development of the internet and social media have made people express their views and opinion publicly. Analyzing the sentiment in people views and opinion impact many fields such as services and productions that companies offer. Movie reviewer needs many processing to be prepared to detect emotion, classify them and achieve high accuracy. The difficulties arise due of the structure and grammar of the language and manage the dictionary. We present a system that assigns scores indicating positive or negative opinion to each distinct entity in the text corpus. Propose an innovative formula to compute the polarity score for each word occurring in the text and find it in positive dictionary or negative dictionary we have to remove it from text. After classification, the words are stored in a list that will be used to calculate the accuracy. The results reveal that the system achieved the best results in accuracy of 76.585%.
Sentimental analysis of audio based customer reviews without textual conversionIJECEIAES
The current trends or procedures followed in the customer relation management system (CRM) are based on reviews, mails, and other textual data, gathered in the form of feedback from the customers. Sentiment analysis algorithms are deployed in order to gain polarity results, which can be used to improve customer services. But with evolving technologies, lately reviews or feedbacks are being dominated by audio data. As per literature, the audio contents are being translated to text and sentiments are analyzed using natural processing language techniques. However, these approaches can be time consuming. The proposed work focuses on analyzing the sentiments on the audio data itself without any textual conversion. The basic sentiment analysis polarities are mostly termed as positive, negative, and natural. But the focus is to make use of basic emotions as the base of deciding the polarity. The proposed model uses deep neural network and features such as Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), Chroma and Mel Spectrogram on audio-based reviews.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy.

Abstract : The World Wide Web is growing at an astonishing rate. This has resulted in enormous increase in
online communication. The online communication data consist of feedback, comments and reviews that are
posted on internet by internet users. To analyze such opinionated data sentiment analysis is required. Sentiment
analysis is a natural language processing technique which classifies the data into positive, negative and neutral.
This paper proposes a framework for sentiment analysis using dictionary-based approach and brings out a
comparative study on sentiment analysis techniques including machine learning technique and lexicon based
technique. The comparisons are majorly drawn based on features such as preprocessing, technique employed,
dictionary, datasets, and soft-computing approaches. An approach to sentiment analysis using dictionary-based
approach incorporating fuzzy logic is proposed.
Keywords : Fuzzy Logic, Lexicon Based Technique, Machine learning, Natural Language Processing,
Sentiment analysis.
I. Introduction
The rapid growth of World Wide Web has resulted in substantial increase in use of social media. The
social media data consist of comments, feedback and reviews. This data is of great consequence for business
organization as well as for customers. Customer often refers to reviews of other customer before buying any
product. The companies need feedback from their customers to adopt changes in their product or to take future
decision and develop business strategy. To facilitate this communication between the customer and business
organization, it is required to analyze this social media data. For analyzing social media data sentiment analysis
is required. Sentiment analysis is a natural language processing task which is used to obtain customers feeling
about several product and services which are posted on internet through various comments and reviews.
Sentiment Analysis is used for text classification which classifies the text into positive, negative and neutral.
The major categories under which the sentiment analysis approaches fall include - Machine learning
based techniques, Lexicon based techniques and the hybrid of these. In machine learning techniques various
classification methods like Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB) and maximum entropy (ME) are
used for sentiment classification. Machine learning methods maintain two datasets, namely the training dataset
and the testing data set. Lexicon based approach can be further divided into Dictionary-based and Corpus-based.
In Dictionary-based approach, firstly the opinion word from review text are found, which is followed by finding
their synonyms and antonyms from dictionary. The dictionaries like WordNet, SentiWordNet, SenticNet may be
incorporated for mapping and scoring. Corpus-based method helps to find opinion word in a context specific
orientation. Beginning with a list of opinion word, the corpus-based approach finds other opinion word in a huge
corpus. A hybrid approach combining the machine learning and the dictionary-based approaches may be used
for sentiment analysis. It employs the lexicon-based approach for sentiment scoring followed by training a
classifier assign polarity to the entities in the newly find reviews. Hybrid approach is generally used since it
achieves the best of both worlds, high accuracy from a powerful supervised learning algorithm and stability
from lexicon based approach [11].
The main issues in sentiment analysis are negation handling and domain dependency. Negation words
are the words which reverses the polarity of sentence if occur in a sentence. Domain dependency is there
because the word has positive orientation in one domain and the same word has negative orientation in
differentdomain. It is most important to handle this issue for correct classification of reviews.
The fundamental process of sentiment analysis is often attributed to two stages - Opinion Extraction
and Sentiment Classification. Opinion Extraction aims to extract opinion words from the target text, whereas
Sentiment classification categorizes and ranks the opinionated text phrases based on polarity orientation.
Different classification techniques are used for classification.
This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 discusses the literature review done in sentiment analysis.
Section 3 describes the comparative analysis of sentiment analysis technique. In section 4 a detailed proposed
approach to sentiment analysis using dictionary-based approach has been deliberated. Section 5 concludes the
discussion in earlier sections.

II. literature review
Gonçalves and Araujo have explained different methods of sentiment analysis in their work. They are
as below
Emoticons are face-based expression represent happy or sad feelings. To calculate polarity of emoticons a
set of three common emoticons is used.
Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) is software which uses dictionary to calculate the polarity and
also find the related word.
SentiStrength it is based on machine learning technique. It added new features to LIWC like a list of
negative and positive words, a list of booster words to strengthen or weaken sentiments, a list of emoticons,
and the use of repeated punctuation to strengthen sentiments.
SentiWordNet is based on WordNet it associate three sentiment score to the word positive, negative,
objective. This score is calculated by a semi-supervised method.
SenticNet it implement artificial intelligence along with semantic web technique. It calculate the polarity of
common sense concepts from natural language text at a semantic level not at a syntactic level.
A machine learning-based tool called the SailAilSentiment Analyzer (SASA) is developed. It is based on
SentiStrength.
Happiness Index uses the popular Affective Norms for English Words (ANEW). The score to the text is
ranges from 1 to 9.
PANAS-t is a psychometric scale proposed for detecting mood fluctuations of users on Twitter. The method
consists of an adapted version of the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), which is a well-
known method in psychology. The PANAS-t is based on a large set of words associated with eleven moods:
joviality, assurance, serenity, surprise, fear, sadness, guilt, hostility, shyness, fatigue, and attentiveness. The
method is designed to track any increase or decrease in sentiments over time [12].
Wang, Chuan-Tong and Chan have performed analysis on non-English data language and integrated
with analysis of data in English language to improve the sentiment understanding and sentiment analysis. The
approach adopted a Fuzzy Inference Method with Linguistic Processor to minimize semantic ambiguity and
multi source lexicon integration and development. This approach used LIWC method, the pleasure, arousal and
dominance (PAD) model of emotional states and the affective norms for English words (ANEW) approach. It
handled issue like complexity and semantic ambiguity of languages, the requirement domain-dependent
adaptive methods to obtain high accuracy readings, dependence of training dataset and to handle the data in
other languages besides English [13].
Jose and Chooralil have used WordNet, SentiWordNet lexical resource and Word Sense
Disambiguation for finding political sentiment from real time tweets. A lexicon based sentiment analysis
method is adopted which exploits the sense definitions, as semantic indicators of sentiment. Negation handling
is done at pre-processing stage to increase the accuracy [14].
Mikula and Machova have accomplished Topic identification as a mechanism to increase the accuracy
of system. Topic identification is done by increasing the weight of sentences containing the word related to the
topic. A topic lexicon is constructed which contain all topic extracted from the datasets. An algorithm is
designed that works in three steps. In the first step, algorithm obtains the text that is to be analyzed removing
diacritics, changes all letters to lowercase and then removes all stop words. Then it creates list of topic words
and removes words with polarity. This is followed by sentiment analysis of text and then the algorithm writes
results into the file [15].
III. comparative study on sentiment analysis technique
Sentiment analysis and classification methods can be compared on the basis of different aspects. The
major aspects used are as below:
3.1 Technique(s) Used
As there are three methods supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised method which uses technique
like SVM, Naive Bayes (NB) and maximum entropy (ME) and lexicon based technique. Some method also use
fuzzy logic and rule based technique to get more accurate result.
3.2 Use of Lexicon/Dictionary
Next aspect is if the approach uses the lexicon based method then which lexicon is used like
SentiWordNet or WordNet, SenticNet or other. Some approaches used machine learning method also apply
dictionary for more accuracy.
3.3 Training dataset
Supervised techniques require training datasets so it is another aspect. Training datasets is required to
train the classifier and this classifier is then applied for classification.
3. An approach to sentiment analysis using lexicons with comparative analysis of different techniques
DOI: 10.9790/0661-1803015357 www.iosrjournals.org 55 | Page
Some other aspects are of preprocessing step as some method requires stop word removal and some
does not require stop word removal. Feature extraction is the important step in sentiment analysis which is
performed by maximum methods.
Following table show the comparative analysis of some dictionary based approaches.

Andreea Salinca has proposed a technique using four learning models: Multinomial Naïve Bayes,
Support vector machines, Linear Support Vector Classification, Logistic regression and Stochastic Gradient
Descent Classifier for sentiment analysis. Classification is performed on Yelp challenge dataset [1]. Ghag and
Shah uses four sentiment classifier that are traditional sentiment classifier, average relative term frequency
sentiment classifier, senti-term frequency inverse document frequency and relative term frequency sentiment
classifier. This classifier is applied on datasets in which stop words are removed and also without removing stop
word [2].
K. Indhuja, Reghu Raj P. C. have performed identification of opinion phrases from text, dependency
between words and tagging the sentiment polarity of opinionated phrases. Stanford dependency parser is applied
to find the dependency between words. The fine features are checked with the Feature Orientation dictionary
with Linguistic Hedges to extract its fuzzy value [3]. Vipin Kumar, Sonajharia Minz method used SentiWordNet
for feature extraction and various classifiers are used to classify the text. SVM suited the best and give highest
accuracy [4]. A. Yeole, P. Chavan done sentence context analysis and affective word is found. SentiWordNet
dictionary is used for sentiment calculation [5].
Yilin Wang, Baoxin Li applied sentiment analysis on image based on image feature and contextual
social network information. Both visual feature and textual feature are used and find prediction on two scenarios
supervised and unsupervised. By using supervised sentiment analysis it proposed an effective method name
Robust Sentiment Analysis for Images. For unsupervised sentiment analysis Unsupervised E-Sentiment
Analysis is used [6].
A. Cernian, V. Sgarciu, B. Martin presented a semantic approach for a sentiment analysis which is
found using the SentiWordNet lexical resource [7]. Ding Yuan, Yanquan Zhou used dictionary based approach.
Rule based approach is applied for feature extraction and weight computing and classification is done using
SVM [8]. Lizhen Liu, Xinhui Nie described an approach using Fuzzy Domain Sentiment Ontology Tree model
which is constructed by a set of seeds based on Synonyms set and domain sensitive words [9]. The last method
by Aleksander Wawer used a domain-independent sentiment dictionary this is applied with a machine learning
method based on CRF algorithm [10].
IV. proposed approach
The proposed approach mainly deals with classifying the reviews as positive, negative and neutral
based on score that is calculated using SentiWordNet and WordNet dictionary and by applying some fuzzy logic
to handle negations. The system consists of mainly three modules.

Fig. 1. Framework of sentiment analysis using dictionary based approach.
4.1 Dataset
The datasets used is an Amazon dataset taken from web. The reviews are about mobile phone and
accessories. It is a text dataset which is labeled. It contain product/product Id,product/title, product/price,
review/user Id, review/profile Name, review/time, review/helpfulness, review/score, review/summary,
review/text. There are total 7150 entries.
The main focus of the method is to extract the text field from the different field of the datasets.
Fig. 2. Preprocessing of datasets
4.2 Preprocessing
Preprocessing is done before sentiment polarity calculation. Preprocessing is required to remove the
words which are not useful in polarity calculation and process the words of sentences to match with the
dictionary. Following are the steps of preprocessing.
i. The text field from the reviews of the datasets is extracted by matching the index with the product name
and then the text in front of text filed is extracted.
ii. The stop words are removed. Stop word are the most common words used in English language. This words
are filter out in preprocessing since it is of no use in sentiment polarity calculation. We are using a
dictionary of stop words to remove stop words from reviews.
iii. Stemming is a process for reducing derived form of word into base or root form. We are using a dictionary
for stemming. It contains 200 root words.
iv. Part of speech tagging is done in the next step. It assigns parts of speech such as noun, verb, adjective,
adverb to each word of the text. The information obtained from POS tagging is then used as features to
find the emotion information from sentence. The standard Penn Treebank POS tags is used.
4.3 Polarity calculation
Review contain many sentences as a result the score for each sentence is calculated first then the total
score for the review is calculated. SentiWordNet dictionary is used for assigning the polarity to each word and
then the polarity of whole sentence is calculated by adding the polarity of each word. SentiWordNet is a lexical
resource publicly available for research purposes. SentiWordNet is an opinion lexicon derived from the
WordNet database where each term is associated with numerical scores indicating positive, negative and
5. An approach to sentiment analysis using lexicons with comparative analysis of different techniques
DOI: 10.9790/0661-1803015357 www.iosrjournals.org 57 | Page
objective sentiment information. SentiWordNet is built via a semi supervised method along with a Random Walk algorithm
for refining the score. In this the position of word in the sentence is also refer.
If the word does not found in SentiWordNet dictionary then the word is search in the WordNet dictionary.
WordNet is a dictionary for English language it contain synonyms word into a set called synset. The corresponding words
associated with the word in WordNet are bring and search in the SentiWordNet and their sentiment score is taken for polarity
calculation. This process helps to increase the accuracy of the proposed approach.
Negation words are the words which when present in the sentence reverses the polarity of the sentence. For
example, in the text “this smart phone is not good”, the negation word “not” reverses the polarity of sentence. To handle this
fuzzy logic is used which calculate the polarity based on some rules. The fuzzy logic rules are described as follow.
Case 1. There are few adverbs like very, really, extremely, simply, always, never, not, absolutely, highly, overall, truly, too,
etc. which may be used positively or negatively like very good, very bad.
Weight = (Value of (Adj))0.5
if value of (Adj) >=0.5
= (Value of (Adj))2
if value of (Adj) < 0.5
Case 2. Never, not etc. changes the orientation of the opinion. The phrase like “not good” may signify “bad” (although it
does not always qualify to be “bad”).
Weight = 1 – Value_Of_(Adj or Verb)
Case 3. When Case 1 and Case 2 may appear together like “not very good”
Weight = (A*B)0.5
Where A = very/extremely/highly etc (Adj)
And B = (not/never) (Adj)
This fuzzy logic score is calculated and added to the score of sentence and the score for a review is calculated. The
threshold value for review classification is set as 0.2. For all the reviews of a product the analysis is done that is a product is
positive or negative or neutral based on a threshold value which is set to 0.5.
V. Conclusion
An approach to sentiment analysis using dictionaries is proposed. The proposed work uses reviews from Amazon
data about mobile phones and accessories for analysis and classification. The approach incorporates SentiWordNet and
WordNet to find the proper word from the dictionary and assign sentiment polarity. Negation handling has been a
challenging task in sentiment analysis. We have used fuzzy logic to address negation. The paper has also attempted to bring
out comparisons and salient features between various techniques and approaches realized for sentiment analysis and
classification.
Sentiment analysis support business organizations and customer for analyzing their reviews. Consequently the
proposed system also helps as it classifies the reviews of customer into positive, negative and neutral. As a part of future
work, it is planned to incorporate additional fuzzy logic cases for sentences which are compound and complicated. This
addition would benefit in more accurate classification of reviews.
