Study Notes

Text Mining: Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, is the process of determining the emotional tone behind text.
An opinion is a subjective statement about something, reflecting a person's belief or thought.
It's different from factual statements which can be proven right or wrong.

Introduction

Opinion analysis is used to understand public sentiment towards products, services, or events.
Sentiment is categorized into positive, negative, and neutral or, contingent outcomes.

Introduction: Opinion Analysis (continued)

Sentiment analysis can be applied to various text formats like reviews and social media posts.
Sentiment information is analyzed across different entities, relationships, and events to uncover perspectives.

What is an opinion?

Opinion is a subjective statement of belief or thought about something.
Opinion is dependent on context, background, and culture.
Subjective statements vary, so they cannot be proven true or false.

What is an opinion? (continued)

An opinion involves a subjective viewpoint about something, and involves an opinion holder and a target.
Opinion content or sentiment expression describes the specific opinion.
Context clarifies the situation (time, location) in which the opinion was expressed.

Basic Opinion Representation

Identify the opinion holder (who expressed the opinion).
Determine the opinion target (the subject of the opinion).
Define the opinion content (the expressed sentiment).
Specify the opinion context (time, location).
Identify the opinion polarity (positive, negative, or neutral).

Product Review Example

Example: "Peter (iPhone 15): It is too expensive".
Opinion Holder: Peter
Opinion Target: iPhone 15
Opinion Content: "is too expensive"
Opinion Context: 2023
Opinion Polarity: negative

Opinion Types in Text Data

Opinion types include author's opinion, reported opinion, and indirect/inferred opinion.
Opinions can reflect the real world.
Observed world, perception(perspective), expression are all parts of identifying types of opinions.

Opinion Mining Task

The process of extracting opinion representations from text data
This involves identifying opinion holders, targets, content, context, and sentiment.

Sentiment Analysis Levels

Sentiment analysis can be conducted at different levels (document, sentence, phrase, aspect).
Each level provides a different granularity of sentiment analysis.
Document-level analysis produces a single polarity rating for the entire document.
Sentence-level analysis focuses on the sentiment of individual sentences.
Phrase-level analysis focuses on specific phrases to discern sentiment.
Aspect level analysis, targets within a sentence, and breaks down sentiment by component or aspect.

Sentiment Analysis Tasks

Tasks include polarity and subjectivity classification.
Further tasks include aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA), sentiment summarization, and sentiment visualization.

Applications

Sentiment analysis is used in business intelligence for forecasting prices.
It's used in recommendation systems to provide insights into customer preferences.
Governments use sentiment analysis to gauge public opinion and track social movements.
Businesses use in healthcare and medical domains to understand patient experience.

Demos

Text2data, Dandelion, Huggingface, and Monkelearn are some sentiment analysis demos.

General Procedure of Sentiment Analysis

Data collection and extraction methods include APIs, available datasets (like Stanford Sentiment Treebank), and web scraping.

General Procedure of Sentiment Analysis (continued)

Data preprocessing stages, like tokenization, stop word removal, abbreviation expansion, part-of-speech tagging, and lemmatization, are crucial steps.
Feature extraction is a key stage. It involves extracting features such as terms presence (e.g., unigrams, bigrams, trigrams) and their frequency TF-IDF).

Sentiment Analysis Techniques

Sentiment analysis methods include lexicon-based approach (or knowledge-based approach), which relies on pre-existing sentiment lexicons.

Sentiment Analysis Techniques (continued)

Machine learning approach is another technique. Different machine learning approaches (supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, reinforcement learning) are used.

Deep Learning in Sentiment Analysis

Deep learning techniques like recurrent neural networks (RNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and transformers are used for improving sentiment analysis.

Deep Learning in Sentiment Analysis (continued)

Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) identifies aspects within a text and evaluates the sentiment associated with each.
Structured Sentiment Analysis (SSA) models generate sentiment graphs to represent all opinion and sentiment information.
Different evaluation metrics, like Targeted F1, are specific to SSA.
