Most of Japanese slang words such as Waka-mono Kotoba are analyzed as "unknown word" or segmented wrongly by the morphological analysis system. These problems are causing negative effect on sentiment analysis in text. These words generally have many varieties of notations and conjugations, and they lack versatility. As a result, many of them are not registered in the dictionaries, making morphological analysis more difficult. In this paper, we aimed to decrease such negative effects of Wakamono Kotoba for the accuracy of emotion estimation from sentence and proposed a method to increase the accuracy by using a classification method based on machine learning. In this method we used emotional expressions which had high relevance with Wakamono Kotoba as feature. As a result, the proposed method obtained 20% higher accuracy than the method only using morpheme N-gram as feature.
