Citius: A Naive-Bayes Strategy for Sentiment Analysis on English Tweets

Abstract: This article describes a strategy based on a naive-bayes classifier for detecting the polarity of English tweets. The experiments have shown that the best performance is achieved by using a binary classifier between just two sharp polarity categories: positive and negative. In addition, in order to detect tweets with and without polarity, the system makes use of a very basic rule that searchs for polarity words within the analysed tweets/texts. When the classifier is provided with a polarity lexicon and multiw… Show more

Two different variants of Naive Bayes classifiers were built namely Baseline (trained to classify tweets as positive, negative and neutral), and Binary (makes use of a polarity lexicon and classifies as positive and negative.…”

“…When a less amount of data is considered recurrent neural network performs better than recursive neural networks. Nicholls and Song [12] have explored different methods for feature selection, and a new method for SA was also proposed. The document frequency difference method proposed in this paper was observed to perform better for SA.…”

“…Naive Bayes relies on the assumption of conditional independence among the features, something that is clearly not true here. While Naive Bayes classifiers manage to perform well despite this assumption, a classifier not reliant on this assumption might outperform a Naive Bayes classifier (Gamallo and Garcia, 2014).…”
