Sentiment classification constitutes an important topic in the field of Natural Language Processing, whose main purpose is to extract the sentiment polarity from unstructured texts. The label propagation algorithm, as a semi-supervised learning method, has been widely used in sentiment classification due to its describing sample relation in a graph-based pattern. Whereas, current graph developing strategies fail to use the global distribution and cannot handle the issues of polysemy and synonymy properly. In this paper, a semi-supervised learning methodology, integrating the tripartite graph and the clustering, is proposed for graph construction. Experiments on E-commerce reviews demonstrate the proposed method outperform baseline methods on the whole, which enables precise sentiment classification with few labeled samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
