Sentiment analysis of Bengali comments with Word2Vec and sentiment information of words

The vector representation of Bengali words using word2vec model (Mikolov et al. (2013)) plays an important role in Bengali sentiment classification. It is observed that the words that are from same context stay closer in the vector space of word2vec model and they are more similar than other words. In this article, a new approach of sentiment classification of Bengali comments with word2vec and Sentiment extraction of words are presented. Combining the results of word2vec word co-occurrence score with the sentiment polarity score of the words, the accuracy obtained is 75.5%.
