Building a Concept-Level Sentiment Dictionary Based on Commonsense Knowledge

Sentiment dictionaries are essential for research in the sentiment analysis field. A two-step method integrates iterative regression and random walk with in-link normalization to build a concept-level sentiment dictionary. The approach uses ConceptNet as a framework to propagate sentiment values, based on the assumption that semantically related concepts share a common sentiment.
