Abstract

In this paper, we develop a deep learning system for message-level Twitter sentiment classification. Among the 45 submitted systems including the SemEval 2013 participants, our system (Coooolll) is ranked 2nd on the Twitter2014 test set of SemEval 2014 Task 9. Coooolll is built in a supervised learning framework by concatenating the sentiment-specific word embedding (SSWE) features with the state-of-the-art hand-crafted features. We develop a neural network with hybrid loss function1 to learn SSWE, which encodes the sentiment information of tweets in the continuous representation of words. To obtain large-scale training corpora, we train SSWE from 10M tweets collected by positive and negative emoticons, without any manual annotation. Our system can be easily re-implemented with the publicly available sentiment-specific word embedding.
