Sentiment Detection of Short Text via Probabilistic Topic Modeling

As an important medium used to describe events, the short text is effective to convey emotions and communicate affective states. In this paper, we proposed a classification method based on probabilistic topic model, which greatly improve the performance of sentimental categorization methods on short text. To solve the problems of sparsity and context-dependency, we extract hidden topics behind the text and associate different words by the same topic. Evaluation on sentiment detection of short text verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
