Abstract

Topic-based sentiment analysis for Chinese microblog aims to identify the user attitude on specified topics. In this paper, we propose a joint model by incorporating Support Vector Machines (SVM) and deep neural network to improve the performance of sentiment analysis. Firstly, a SVM Classifier is constructed using N-gram, NPOS and sentiment lexicons features. Meanwhile, a convolutional neural network is applied to learn paragraph representation features as the input of another SVM classifier. The classification results outputted by these two classifiers are merged as the final classification results. The evaluations on the SIGHAN-8 Topic-based Chinese microblog sentiment analysis task show that our proposed approach achieves the second rank on micro average F1 and the fourth rank on macro average F1 among a total of 13 submitted systems.
